LightDisc is a 1530-Lumen, 90W-incandescent-equivalent light engine
By Margery Conner
“Light engine” is a term that’s gathering momentum in LED lighting, fueled in part because of Energy Star’s use of it in its draft Luminaires requirements document.
Here’s how Energy Star defines a light engine: “An integrated assembly comprised of LED packages (components) or LED arrays (modules), LED driver, and other optical, thermal, mechanical and electrical components. The device is intended to connect directly to the branch circuit through a custom connector compatible with the LED luminaire for which it was designed and does not use an ANSI standard base.”
