About Us

To build LED products whose light output and color hold their specification over service life, by treating thermal design and component derating as the core of the engineering.

Who We Are

About Our Company

TDE-lighttech manufactures LED display systems and lighting products: fine pitch indoor video wall modules and cabinets, outdoor display and billboard systems, transit and wayfinding signage, and industrial and commercial luminaires including high bay, area, flood and linear fixtures. Production covers surface mount assembly of LED modules, driver and power supply integration, enclosure fabrication and sealing, optical and thermal assembly, module calibration and burn-in testing. We bin diodes for brightness and color consistency, calibrate modules so a wall reads as one surface, and document thermal performance because junction temperature governs how long the product keeps its output.

Integrators and facility owners around work with TDE-lighttech because LED products are usually judged years after purchase. A display that was uniform at commissioning and patchy after two summers had a thermal or binning problem from the start. A high bay fixture whose output faded early was run with its driver too hot. We design the heat path deliberately, derate drivers for the ambient conditions the product will actually see, seal outdoor enclosures to tested ratings with serviceable access, and burn in product before shipment so early failures happen in our plant rather than on a roof.

Core Capabilities

Control and processing firmware versions are recorded against each order.
Ingress protection is verified by test on the production enclosure.
LED diodes are binned for brightness and wavelength before assembly.
Junction and case temperatures are measured on the built assembly.
Spare parts and module revisions are tracked for serviceability later.
Failures during burn-in are root caused before the batch is released.

Client Feedback

What Clients Say

Replacement panels blend into the wall without recalibration, two years after installation. That is the detail that separates a real manufacturer from an assembler.

A. PetrosyanTechnical Director, Display Integrator

They derated the drivers for the actual temperature at our roof level, which nobody else asked about. Three years in, we have not replaced one.

J. ThibodeauxFacilities Manager, Distribution Client

Our curved lobby element had thermal and access problems that they flagged during design. Solving them on paper saved a very awkward site discovery.

Services

An LED product fails at its driver, its solder joints or its junction temperature, almost never at the diode itself. Our designs address heat path, driver derating and conformal protection from the first thermal model.

Our Advantages

Why Clients Choose Us

Burn-In Before Shipment

Extended run-in catches infant mortality in our plant, which is the difference between a warranty statistic and a roof access call.

Outdoor Ratings Actually Tested

Ingress protection is validated rather than assumed from a gasket specification, and surge protection is sized for genuine installation exposure.

Thermal Design Verified By Measurement

Junction and case temperatures are measured rather than estimated, because junction temperature is what actually governs lumen maintenance.

Serviceable, Not Disposable

Products are built so a driver or module can be replaced in the field, instead of requiring the whole fixture or cabinet to be discarded.

Drivers Derated Properly

Drivers are selected with margin for the installed ambient, addressing the single most common cause of premature LED product failure.

Diodes Binned, Modules Calibrated

Brightness and color binning plus module-level calibration keep a wall reading as a single surface, including after a panel is replaced years later.

Drivers Derated Properly

Power supplies run with real margin against their rating, since the driver, not the diode, is what usually fails first in a display or luminaire.

Outdoor Ratings Actually Tested

Enclosures are tested for ingress and thermal cycling as built, not credited with the rating of an individual component inside them.

Diodes Binned, Modules Calibrated

Brightness and wavelength binning plus per-module calibration is what stops a large wall looking like a patchwork two years into its life.

Our Services

What We Do

Step 01

Outdoor Display & Billboard Systems

Weather-rated display cabinets with tested ingress protection, ultraviolet stable masking and louvers, surge protection, thermal management for solar gain and serviceable module access. Outdoor failures cluster around water ingress and heat, so sealing design and internal airflow receive as much attention as the optics.

Step 02

Burn-In, Testing & Quality Documentation

Extended burn-in of finished product, electrical safety and photometric verification, ingress protection validation, color uniformity measurement and documented quality records. Early-life failures are found in our plant rather than on a customer roof, which is far cheaper for everyone involved.

Step 03

LED Driver & Power Supply Integration

Selection and integration of drivers and power supplies with attention to derating, ripple, dimming protocol compatibility, inrush, surge immunity and operating temperature. Drivers are the most common failure point in LED products, and running them near their thermal limit is how a ten-year product becomes a three-year one.

Step 04

Industrial & Commercial Luminaires

Manufacture of high bay, low bay, area, flood, linear and task luminaires with documented photometric performance, driver derating for the installed ambient temperature and heat sink design verified by thermal testing. Fixtures are built for driver replacement rather than as disposable sealed assemblies.

Step 05

Fine Pitch Indoor Display Manufacturing

Production of indoor video wall modules and cabinets in close pixel pitches with binned diodes, module-level calibration for brightness and color uniformity, and cabinet construction designed for front or rear service access. Calibration data is stored with the module, so a replacement panel blends with the wall instead of standing out.

Step 06

Custom Signage & Architectural Fabrication

Bespoke LED signage, channel lettering, curved and irregular display surfaces, and architectural lighting elements fabricated to designer intent with structural and electrical engineering support. Custom geometry introduces thermal and serviceability problems that have to be solved during design rather than discovered at installation.

Step 07

Control, Processing & Integration

Video processing, receiving card configuration, brightness and color management, lighting control protocol integration, scheduling and network monitoring, with commissioning support for integrators. Content and control configuration are documented, because a display handed over without its configuration becomes unmaintainable.

Step 08

Thermal Design & Lifetime Testing

Thermal modeling and measurement of junction and case temperatures, heat sink and enclosure design, and lifetime projection using recognized LED lumen maintenance test and extrapolation methods. Projected life figures are only meaningful alongside the drive current and temperature they were derived at, so we state both.

Questions & Answers

Frequently Asked Questions

It is a lumen maintenance projection derived from standardized testing and extrapolation, and it is only meaningful alongside the drive current and junction temperature it was derived at. The same diode can be rated very differently depending on how hard it is driven and how well it is cooled.

Because drivers contain electrolytic components that age rapidly with temperature, and many products place them in the hottest part of the fixture with little derating. We derate for the installed ambient and design for field driver replacement rather than treating the fixture as disposable.

Almost always binning or thermal. Diodes from loose brightness and color bins drift apart at different rates, and modules running hot lose output faster. Calibration at commissioning masks the problem initially, which is why it appears gradually rather than immediately.

With our displays, yes, because calibration data is stored per module and diodes are tightly binned. Products built without binning discipline or calibration storage generally need the surrounding area recalibrated, and sometimes the whole wall.

Yes, with engineering input during design. Curved and irregular geometry creates thermal and service access problems that are inexpensive to solve on paper and very expensive to solve on a finished installation, so we raise them early.

It is necessary but not sufficient. Thermal cycling, ultraviolet degradation, condensation inside the cabinet, surge exposure and wind loading all matter, and a cabinet that passes a water test can still fail from internal condensation. We design and test for the whole set of conditions.
