Each year, the Portland Business Journal honors the region’s top manufacturing companies who drive our economy with innovation, excellence and productivity. The awarded companies will be included on three panel discussion roundtables hosted by the PBJ and moderated by major sponsors of the program. Roundtable videos will be recorded and posted in a dedicated content hub on portlandbusinessjournal.com. This year, Lumencor won PBJ’s Product Innovation of the Year Award for our SOLA light engine® available September, 2020.

Design
The SOLA light engine, overcomes the many problems of mercury containing bulbs:
- It’s constructed of multiple sources, each color-specific, that add up to a brighter, more reproducible, long-lived, mercury-free lamp replacement.
- SOLA implements a proprietary green light pipe which overcomes the shortcoming of LEDs in the green region of the spectrum.
- Lumencor’s light pipe is acknowledged industrywide as the brightest.
- The third generation SOLA has an anticipated >15 year life time with no replacement parts, no mercury, and no maintenance.
- The SOLA’s has an electronic control and low duty cycle (most of the time it’s OFF and only ON when imaging or measuring)
- Because it’s only ON when needed, the accessories used with the SOLA – filters, fibers, light guides – last longer and need no replacement.
