According to Azure Magazine, a Vancouver company stole the show last year at the Light and Building expo in Frankfurt with Lexel, the little unit shown above- "the first fully integrated and seamless LED-based light source technology. It has been designed for easy integration and is equivalent to lamp+ballast+socket." It pumps out 1,000 lumens at only 35 watts, is programmable from cool to warm tones, and has controllers and power supplies for a 24 LED array. European lighting designers are snapping it up; it has been built into the beautiful spot fixture by Zumtobel, one of Europe's largest manufacturers of lighting fixtures.
