Lumenpulse, a manufacturer of high-performance, specification-grade LED lighting solutions, has launched the Lumencove™ Nano, a breakthrough dimmable cove lighting system that dispenses with the need for a power supply, resulting in unequaled performance and longevity.  

The Lumencove Nano debuts Lumendrive™, a proprietary and patent-pending ASIC (application-specific integrated circuit) technology, which drives LEDs directly, eliminating the dependence on power supplies.

“Breaking free of traditional power supplies is a major breakthrough for the industry. It changes the paradigm of LED lighting,” said Francois-Xavier Souvay, President and CEO at Lumenpulse. “When you embed a power supply to an LED board, you’re causing some uncertainty in the longevity of the fixture, since the life cycles of the components are very different. The Lumencove Nano removes that uncertainty, allowing us to offer a true ten-year limited warranty,” he said.

Lumendrive digitally powers and controls LEDs directly from the AC mains. By dispensing with a power supply, the technology provides multiple benefits, including smaller size, a lifetime no longer restricted by third-party components, and outstanding efficiency. Available in 3- and 6-watt versions, the Lumencove Nano delivers up to 100 lm/W and up to 559 lumens per foot.

“This unmatched photometric performance has never been achieved with so little power,” said Greg Campbell, Senior Vice-President and Chief Technology Officer at Lumenpulse. “By removing the power supply, we reduced the size of the product and improved performance – without sacrificing sustainability or reliability. Lumendrive lets us avoid the typical efficiency losses that occur in the AC-to-DC power conversion with embedded power supplies, allowing us to provide best-in-class efficiency,” he said.

As part of the Lumencove family, the Lumencove Nano offers full dimming, a choice of color temperatures and is available in 1- or 4-foot lengths. The luminaire, which will be shown for the first time at this year’s Lightfair International convention in Las Vegas, has an L70 lumen maintenance of 100,000 hours and is backed by a ten-year limited warranty.
