Francis Wong, Deputy Vice President of Lextar Electronics Lighting Business Unit said that traditional lighting manufacturers are constrained by lack of technical personnel in the electronic/electric related fields.

Lextar's DCOB light engine module integrates the previous LED Driver with COB. Since the DCOB is powered directly by the AC power, it can be simply plugged into the power source to light up without the electrolytic capacitor. It improves the lifetime of the light source and increases the product reliability significantly, using the HV Chip manufactured by Lextar.

Lextar Electronics' DCOB light engine integrates the optical and electrical components on a single module. It features small size, ease of use and improvement of lighting design flexibility, suitability for spotlight, down light or bay light fixtures. Lextar's DCOB series are compatible with Zhaga Book 3 specification to facilitate the lighting manufacturers in replacing the COB lighting source directly with no switching costs. In addition, Lextar can also provide customized services for the products from various customers.
