“Wireless lighting controls are becoming essential for outdoor lighting and we are delighted
that Pennwell singled out our WorkHorse outdoor LED drivers for a Sapphire Award,” said
Russ Sharer, Vice President of Global Marketing for Fulham. “Our partner, Tvilight, is a
pioneer in IoT control, and together we are seeing demand for wireless lighting controllers
for parking lots, pathways, and other outdoor areas, in addition to traditional smart city and
street light markets. Wireless programmable LED drivers are just one of the clever lighting
solutions Fulham is offering today as a foundation for smart lighting in the future.”
In January 2017, Fulham introduced the WorkHorse LED Extreme family of constant current
LED drivers designed for harsh environments. The WorkHorse LED Extreme XP units have
integrated wireless controls and are available in 40W, 60W, 100W, 150W, and 200W
configurations. The high-power WorkHorse LED units have MCU controlled circuitry,
including MCU controlled health monitoring that allows for black box data to be captured
for field analysis. All XP Series drivers can be programmed with custom dimming curves,
custom NTC thermal feedback, and power output. Tunable output power enables the drivers
to be substituted into luminaires without affecting performance or lumen output.
