Chips 4 Light: Cross-industry problem-solving expertise in LED technology

For product developers and manufacturers, the diverse possibilities offered by modern LED technology presented not only an opportunity to tap into new markets with innovations, but also a challenge, particularly in terms of chip handling.

As a distributor, service provider, and consultant, Chips 4 Light supports its customers in the planning and implementation of new projects based on specific LED chips, detector chips, or laser diodes suitable for individual applications, and accompanies them in the long term as a supplier and partner.

The right light source for better customer solutions

Product development starts with an initial basic idea. Especially when the light source is only one component of a new product or is intended to improve an established product, the actual core competence of the developers often lies in other focus areas. As a result, even the search for the right LED component for the individual task becomes a challenge.

LED chips are a suitable alternative to standard LED components. With a wide selection, Chips 4 Light represents leading international manufacturers as a distributor of LED chips across an almost continuous wavelength spectrum from UV to IR and in various sizes.

Products in the right quantity, at the right time, with the required specifications

Another challenge in integrating LEDs into product development in general, and working with LED chips in particular, arises from the principles of the market: manufacturers compete primarily on price, which is also based on the quantities produced. This makes it difficult for smaller companies to realize projects that require small and medium quantities.

Chips 4 Light fills this gap. The company, based in Sinzing, Bavaria /Germany, stands out in particular for its ability to meet even unusual customer requirements by sorting and characterizing LED chips in small and medium quantities using its own equipment. This is often of fundamental importance for Chips 4 Light’s customers, especially for product development. Chips 4 Light supports its customers‘ projects by offering small and medium quantities with specific specifications and characteristics and short delivery times.

“Miniaturization of the light source”: It’s always about the light source

Technological progress, optimized manufacturing processes, and increased functional integration enable the miniaturization of technical components and products. At the same time, aspects such as energy efficiency and general market and consumer needs are driving increasing miniaturization, which in turn opens up ever new applications. The idea or even the necessity of miniaturizing existing light sources in the context of product development or optimization may not be feasible because the appropriate components are not known or available.

Chips 4 Light can provide expert support for miniaturization projects and assist in development based on suitable LED chips. In addition, the use of LED chips enables new developments, e.g., by combining different chip types, such as detector chips, which allows for the development of functionally attractive and space-saving multi-chip solutions.

Reliable and long-term product availability

Against the backdrop of rapid product development cycles, long-term product availability is becoming a bottleneck: demand is difficult to plan due to extended design phases and complex certification processes. Many smaller companies in particular do not have the logistics and infrastructure to store LED Chips independently with high availability and long-term security.

With long-term storage in climate-controlled storage systems in professional dry storage cabinets at less than 1% humidity, Chip 4 Light also supports customers in logistics matters. LED chips required for the long term can thus be purchased at optimal conditions and made available for longer-term, on-demand retrieval without the need to establish your own logistics and infrastructure. Chips 4 Light thus guarantees security of supply, flexibility, and economic predictability, supporting both product development and long-term competitiveness in manufacturing.
