Your applications – our solutions
LED lighting is more than just light. It is an integral part of the functional and architectural building design. In light design, luminosity, durability, and intelligent control functions all come together. In addition to the actual LEDs, lighting systems therefore also include electronics such as ballasts, light controls, or communication units. Phoenix Contact delivers the right connection technology. Compact and reliable PCB terminal blocks and PCB connectors can be discreetly integrated into the LED lighting design. Robust electronics housings designed for outdoor installation provide reliable protection for electronics in harsh environments.
