SMD LED / General Lighting

Lextar is a Taiwanese company dedicated to the production of various products in the field of LED technology. The company was founded in 2008 within the group of companies around the display giant AUO with the aim of supplying the parent company with LEDs for its display backlighting on the one hand and establishing itself as a manufacturer in the technically demanding LED lighting market on the other hand with the acquired experience and production know-how.

A key unique selling point is that Lextar is one of the few fully vertically integrated LED manufacturers, meaning that everything from LED chips and packaging to module assembly is carried out in-house. In addition, the company has a strong focus on research and development.

With long-standing patent leadership in Taiwan and over 2,300 patents worldwide, Lextar offers outstanding technology solutions and services to meet all current market demands.

Luminus was founded in 2002 from M.I.T. and a Silicon Valley start-up to commercialize researched technologies from the specialty lighting sector. Subsequently, with COBs and mid-power LEDs, the range of applications also expanded to the area of general lighting and Luminus was acquired by the world‘s largest manufacturer of LED chips, the Chinese company San‘an, due to its high technical competence.

Luminus is now a full subsidiary of the San‘an Group since 2015 and thus benefits from enormous production capacities, an excellent network of sister companies and has become one of the major global players in recent years as a result.

Luminus‘ core competencies are specialty lighting products, especially in the UV and infrared range, COBs for a variety of applications and a strong portfolio of mid-power LEDs. In doing so, Luminus always pursues the goal of improving energy efficiency, light output and light quality in order to meet the increasing market requirements.
