LED North America

LED North America (LEDNA), founded in 2008, is headquartered in Oak Ridge, Tennessee in the Tech 2020 Building; an incubator facility for the Department of Energy's Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL). Our mission is to deliver technologically advanced LED lighting solutions at an attractive ROI price point; concentrating on commercial lighting applications for roadways, parking lots, parking garages, and indoor high bay applications. In addition, we offer a full line of LED replacement lamps, such as Par flood lights and fluorescent tube retrofits. We have developed an "Advanced Thermal Management (ATM)" technology that utilizes a graphite foam developed by ORNL. LEDNA has an exclusive IP license with ORNL for the use of this technology in all LED heat sink applications. This foam currently is being used by NASA and the US Military. The graphite foam is used to passively dissipate the heat within the LED luminaire much more efficiently than conventional aluminum heat sinks. We are able to decrease the operating temperatures of the LED luminaire components significantly. This extends the life of those components, thereby extending the life of the entire fixture. With our advanced thermal management, we can offer a 5 year warranty on our commercial lighting products that incorporate the graphite foam technology. We are committed to our clients. We pride ourselves on excellent customer service and being able to deliver LED lighting solutions unique in the industry.
