LRC steps up commercial involvement via Lumitex alliance

The Lighting Research Center (LRC) at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute has stepped up its involvement in the commercial world, entering a partnership with Lumitex aimed at, among other things, helping to bring products and services to market. While the LRC has long worked on research and development with vendors including Osram, Cree, Lumileds, Current (a former GE company), and others that touch on commercialization, the alliance with Strongsville, OH-based Lumitex takes things to a new level. “This is an entirely new and unique collaboration focused on development and commercialization of innovations in light technology and science,” an LRC spokesperson told LEDs Magazine.
