ISOLED^® Knowledge: Expert Information for Efficient Lighting

WE SHARE KNOWLEDGE.

• We consider it our task not only to provide our customers and partners with basic knowledge about LED technology, but also to support them with the most important basics of application technology. In ISOLED® Knowledge we summarize everything worth knowing about LEDs and provide instructions, tips & tricks as well as field reports on the correct and above all safe handling of LED components.

• LED technology is a very complex subject with continuous changes and improvements. Being up to date with the latest knowledge means a head start and competitive advantage.

• The ISOLED^® knowledge is our special service for customers and partners and is available for download free of charge.
