ARC Solid-State Lighting Corp.

LED controllers and dimmers, DMX controllers, DMX drivers

Despite its short history¡Xit was established in 2007 in Taiwan¡¦s northern county of Taipei¡Xthe ARC Solid-State Lighting Corp. has become well known as a specialized optoelectronic system integrator in the field of DMX and related applications.

The growing awareness of environmental protection has motivated ARC to concentrate its efforts more intensively on LED lighting in recent years. One result is the commissioning of the company by the Taipei City Government to design and develop lighting for EcoARC, the world¡¦s first green building with walls made of recycled plastic bottles; EcoARC has been constructed for the 2010 Taipei International Flora Expo, which gets under way in November.

With an amazingly reduced carbon footprint, the building could be seen as a miracle of Taiwan¡¦s effort on green buildings, for it uses more than 1.5 million plastic bottles to be constructed, and innovatively adopts a screen of falling water, which is collected during rainy seasons and serves as part of the building¡¦s air condition systems.

ACR¡¦s expertise in the development and use of building lighting adds sparkle to EcoARC when darkness falls. The three-story building¡¦s outdoor lighting, consisting of more than 40,000 LEDs, can produce splendid light shows; it is also easy to control and edit using the company¡¦s software, which allows users to design customized light patterns.

ARC¡¦s lighting control system is the key to the building¡¦s lighting, which incorporates an ARC5001-B0 DMX lighting controller and 310 ARC3610-W 3-channel constant voltage drivers, ensuring precise tone control and variety of light-show permutations. Another advantage of ARC¡¦s outdoor lighting system is its economical price, which was one of the prime reasons why the company was chosen by the Taipei City Government.

The company, which won ISO9001: 2000 certification in 2008, supplies a variety of LED lighting components such as LED drivers, LED dimmers, constant voltage drivers, and constant current drivers. It is now engaged in the development of related software and control system technologies.
