S M Electronic Introduces LED-Driver Solutions

Bangalore-based distribution company S M Electronic Technologies has recently added LED driver solutions to its repertoire. Informs Gaurav Mann (gaurav@mysmindia.com), the company’s senior field applications engineer, “We are already offering a wide range of capacitors, diodes, active and passive devices of various leading Japanese and Taiwanese brands. From now on, we will also be supplying LED driver solutions made by Renesas, Panasonic, Sanyo and Rohm.” 

Notably, LED drivers being offered by S M Electronic range from 3W to 50W in general lighting and up to 100W in street lighting. “LEDs have become a frenzy in the country and the switchover is happening at a fast rate. But what one tends to overlook is that the market is flooded with substandard drivers at the moment. Since a driver is critical to any LED-based product’s performance, it is essential that quality is not compromised. We are making sure that quality products reach the end-users.” 

Mann informs that the company is more focused on the northern region at the moment since the potential here is quite high. “When it comes to LEDs, north India is currently leading the way. In fact, Delhi/ NCR itself is home to many manufacturers of LED-based products. Also, we have supplied to various projects here which have been initiated by government agencies and utilities.” And he further states that S M Electronics is willing to expand its dealer base across the country and particularly in the north. 

Commenting on the recently concluded LED Expo 2010, Mann says, “This is a wonderful convergence platform for all people associated with lighting. The Indian LED industry is booming and the show has given ample glimpses of this growth. The organisers have done a wonderful job and we are happy to showcase our products here. Our stall has witnessed a huge inflow of visitors including dealers, specifiers, government agents and other end-users. One major change I have noticed is that the awareness of visitors is quite high. Prospects look bright for the industry in the near future.” 

Established in 1990, S M Electronics is now one of the leading electronic component distribution companies in India. Its operations are spread across the country with offices in Chennai, Pune, Hyderabad and Singapore. Pertinently, the company has joined hands with Singaporebased

GS Technology to source a wide range of electronic components.
