"OptiLED's unique, state-of-the-art approach of using LEDs as a point source lighting system is a strong point of differentiation that EECOL Electric is pleased to be aligned with," said David Weicker, general manager of EECOL Electric's lighting division. "Also, this partnership allows us to provide a range of very flexible OptiLED lighting options to our customers."

OptiLED stands apart from other LED lamp A LED lamp is a type of solid state lighting (SSL) that utilizes light-emitting diodes (LEDs) as a source of illumination rather than electrical filaments or gas. Models  makers with its integrated high-precision optical technology that enhances the performance of its LED products. By combining optical technology and advanced LEDs, OptiLED is able to create products that are more efficient, durable, flexible and longer-lasting than most other lamp products.

"OptiLED's partnership with EECOL Electric is an example of the growing demand for lighting solutions that are a more economical, flexible and versatile option," said OptiLED Vice President Bruce Pelton. "Lighting professionals across western Canada will now have more opportunity to realize these benefits in their lighting choices."

OptiLED's Commercial lamp models offer a unique LED spotlighting experience. The lamps are equipped with a standard 4 degree spherical diffuser dif·fus·er

 that allows a high intensity spot from substantial distances. In addition, the company offers eight other distribution patterns including a very narrow 2-Degree pattern, steadily wider 10,16,25,50 and 80 degree spherical distributions, a 10X60 degree oval and a 2X70 degree lens that produces a crisp line. This is not possible with conventional flood lamps. These models work from any primary voltage source A voltage source is any device or system that produces an electromotive force between its terminals OR derives a secondary voltage from a primary source of the electromotive force.  in the world. They come in various size bases and are as simple to replace as a common light bulb.

Designer lamp models perform the same function as the Commercial models but are a retrofit for a standard Halogen MR16 lighting fixture. These lamps are ideal for applications that require intense colors and very low heat generation. Designer lamps can operate from any voltage supply from 6V to 24V AC or DC. This allows them to be installed in virtually any current Halogen MR16 socket. For new installations, ten or more Designer lamps can be powered from one standard halogen supply. The Designer comes in nine different beam distribution options.

The Designer Dimmable model is a true MR16 form-factor that operates normally at 12-18V AC or DC and then can smoothly dim down to a candle glow. The Designer Dimmable also comes in 9 different beam distribution options.

Festival lamp models are designed for installations where decorative lighting by conventional means is problematic. These lights are long lasting and can replace 60-Watt painted bulbs with better effect. They provide better contrast and do not bleed light. The lamp's optic is designed to glow during the day by utilizing the UV light content of sunlight, allowing the bulb's color to shine through bright daylight. In addition, Festival lamps feature built in universal line voltage and basing options for use anywhere in the world.
