We’re a world-leading supplier of lamps using up-to-date LED technology with a global network of sales representatives. Most of our customers are composed of Fortune 500 corporations.”
The guests included:

Since its establishment, the company has developed and manufactured a variety of LED lamps, clusters and arrays, including:
- LED bulbs using common industry-standard bases for the direct replacement of energy wasteful incandescent lamps
- Snap-in panel mount lamps that allow easy installation in instrument indicator panels
- Chip mounting technology that dissipates heat in tightly spaced LED chip arrays
- Multi-chip technology for high-intensity illumination
- Lamps capable of surviving high shock and vibration environments
- Multicolor, UV and IR discrete LEDs, and complex multi-dimensional arrays of LEDs that can be custom-configured to any lighting or energy-emission design application
LEDtronics’ patented and patent-in-process items include LED street and security luminaires, globe and décor LED bulbs, cooler running LED flood lamps that replace parabolic-reflector lamps, LED machine-status lamps, automotive and rail transit LED lamps affecting the fields of transportation, tube-style fluorescent-replacement LED lamps, and control devices for dimming LED lights.
Adil Gandhi, vice president and general manager, noted that the company still designs and partly manufactures its products in the U.S., focusing on cost-efficient management and manufacturing processes. Along with its emphasis on energy-efficient LED technology, the company has also focused on green initiatives including efforts to eliminate all traces of lead from its manufacturing processes and products.
“We can see great opportunities to conserve our natural resources and reduce energy consumption if we apply our solid-state lighting innovations to better serve home and business markets,” Lohdie said. “With the support and global infrastructure of LEDtronics, we look forward to the next 25 years.”
