Lumistrips LED Professional

About the Author: Lumistrips LED Professional

The Lumistrips LED Professional team is the engineering and application knowledge group behind Lumistrips — a German manufacturer of custom LED modules and flexible LED strips with more than 20 years of experience in LED design, development, and production.

Based in Hechingen, Germany, Lumistrips was founded at the beginning of the LED era and has developed alongside the technology since its commercial inception. That longevity is reflected in the depth of the team's application knowledge: from early-generation phosphor-converted white LEDs to today's photobiology-optimised horticulture components, precision optics systems, and intelligent control electronics.

Areas of Expertise

The team writes and publishes on subjects where Lumistrips has direct, hands-on engineering experience accumulated across thousands of projects. Core areas include:

Horticulture LED lighting — spectral design for plant growth, PPFD engineering, PCB substrate selection for greenhouse and vertical farm applications, and LED component selection from the world's leading manufacturers including Nichia, Cree, Seoul Semiconductor, Osram, and LumiLeds
Custom LED module design and manufacturing — application-specific module development across FR4, aluminium, and flexible PCB substrates, including Reel-to-Reel (R2R) automated flex manufacturing for high-volume production
LED optics and light distribution — precision secondary optics from LEDiL, Carclo Optics, Gaggione, and ARI International Corporation, and their application to uniform PPFD delivery, architectural lighting, and specialty illumination
High-CRI and full-spectrum LED technology — human-centric lighting, colour rendering accuracy, and natural spectrum LED systems for retail, medical, art, and horticultural applications
LED thermal management and lifetime engineering — junction temperature control, lumen maintenance standards (IES LM-80), and system-level design for long operational lifetimes in demanding environments
LED drivers and control systems — constant current and constant voltage driver selection, dimming protocols, and spectral sensing for intelligent lighting control

Manufacturing Credentials

Lumistrips designs and manufactures LED modules and strips in Germany, operating both SMT (Surface Mount Technology) production lines and a dedicated Reel-to-Reel flexible LED strip manufacturing facility. The team holds official distributor and partner status with leading LED and optics manufacturers, including authorised distributor relationships with LEDiL and Carclo Optics, and direct supply partnerships with Nichia, Cree, Seoul Semiconductor, Osram, and LumiLeds.

Lumistrips products are supplied to lighting manufacturers, greenhouse operators, vertical farm developers, architectural lighting designers, and research institutions across Europe and internationally. The standard product warranty is five years, with selected LED strip products carrying a seven-year warranty — a direct expression of the confidence the engineering team places in the quality of materials and manufacturing processes used.

Knowledge Base

Content published under the Lumistrips LED Professional authorship draws on a proprietary knowledge base built over two decades of project work, including a systematic review of more than 100 peer-reviewed studies on LED illumination effects in plant growth and horticulture, and a database of more than 1,400 analysed LED lighting systems across application sectors. Articles are written to engineering peer standards — evidence-based, technically precise, and free of generic marketing language.

Lumistrips does not accept sponsored content or paid placement. All product references in articles reflect genuine application experience and manufacturer relationships.

Contact and Collaboration

The Lumistrips engineering team collaborates with lighting manufacturers, agronomists, greenhouse operators, vertical farm developers, architects, and research institutions on custom LED module projects.

Revolutionizing Human Centric Lighting Design with Casambi Control System and SunLike Technology

SunLike Human Centric lighting via Casambi app

Casambi, a pioneer in Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) wireless lighting control, has teamed up with LED technology specialist Seoul Semiconductor to offer lighting designers precise control of LED strips, modules and luminaires that use the new SunLike technology that matches the spectrum of sunlight. For the first time, this development puts true human-centered lighting in the hands of designers.

Users can use Casambi's Bluetooth-based wireless control system and app with products that include SunLike series LEDs to precisely adjust the light level, knowing that the spectrum reflects real sunlight, a key ingredient for Human-centric lighting

Human-centric lighting describes lighting designed to work with the natural rhythms of the human body. It is based on the well-known fact that the human eye recognizes the presence of a certain wavelength of blue light in the spectrum of sunlight and derives the time of day from this. In this way, light helps to regulate our sleep-wake cycles and other physical rhythms and has a significant impact on our mood and well-being.

Human-centered lighting takes advantage of this effect by adjusting its brightness and color temperature during the day to mimic natural light.

With Casambi you can now set the color temperature at specific hours of the day Casambi allows control of the lights through a timer or a variety of presence/movement sensors and daylight sensors. It can control lights that change colour temperature over a very wide range, and designers have the freedom to configure dimming and create scenes or animations for the application.
