Acal Radiatron has signed a distribution agreement with Dialight Corp, and will provide technical support for its advanced range of LED-based indicators, light pipes and lamp replacements

‘This new capability gives our customers more ways to differentiate their products from their competition’, commented Simon Thornton, Business Manager at Acal Radiatron, ‘whether it is the superior appearance and ease of assembly of light pipes, or a low power, long life ruggedised light assembly for transport, marine or military applications’.

Acal Radiatron will support the full range of standard parts, as well as offering trained engineers to assist in custom designs for both electronics and transport markets.

Dialight has been a pioneer in packaging LED technology to meet demanding applications since the early 1970s, developing a wide range of through-board, SMT and panel indicators, light pipes and assemblies.

It has also harnessed its vertically integrated design and manufacturing expertise to develop custom solutions for tough applications, especially for the transport market.

Dialight already has the largest installed base of LED-based traffic lights in the world, saving millions of dollars in energy and maintenance costs, and their LED signal and marker lights often outlast the heavy-duty vehicles to which they are fitted.

Recent products include: white light filament lamp replacements, featuring longer life, lower power requirements and better shock and vibration resistance than traditional incandescent lights; special light pipe designs to conveniently bridge the gap and provide ESD protection between PCB-mounted indicators and custom enclosures; and an LED PAR46 round red marker light for rail applications.
