Illumitex, LLC founded in Austin, Texas
Illumitex has radically transformed traditional LED design and greatly increased
functionality with the creation of an LED package that emits light in a uniform,
highly-precise beam directly from the source. The result: with die-level optical
integration, the need for cumbersome and inefficient secondary optics to
control light is obsolete, opening the world to more versatile—and energy
efficient—lighting applications than ever before imagined.

Founded in 2005 by imaging and optics industry veterans, US-based Illumitex’s industry-shifting achievements began with a fresh approach to traditional LED design. By refusing to settle for the losses associated with secondary optics, Illumitex’s breakthrough LED technology incorporates fundamental physics principles to maximize light extraction from the source. By extracting and directing photons at the die level, Illumitex delivers more usable light to the intended target while consuming less energy. All of this is achieved in the smallest form factor available on the market. With this innovative design shift, Illumitex promises to lead the lighting industry into a new realm of possibilities.

For the general lighting industry, Illumitex technology enables the development of smaller and more efficient lighting solutions that improve quality of light—and life—wherever LEDs are used. For architectural lighting designers, Illumitex LEDs inspire creativity with the ability to “paint with light” by delivering perfectly uniform color-blending precisely to the intended target. For the horticulture industry, Illumitex LEDs deliver custom-spectra photons directly and uniformly on plants which allow growers to produce plants in significantly less time and with less energy. In all applications, Illumitex LEDs enable richer visual environments that result in, simply put, a more beautiful world.
