The inherent tendency to use familiar design means that the full potential of solid-state lighting technology has yet to be realized. LEDs offer a unique opportunity to develop a new class of fixtures of extraordinary design whereby the source and fixture evolve into a single entity. It is a ladder of different scales, and the endpoint is a true systems integration where separate sources, optics, and fixtures are no longer needed while also offering brand new capabilities. The source and the fixture can become a single unit offering greater beam-shaping, enhanced color stability, and lower costs to manufacture.
