Arrow Electronics (NYSE:ARW) will showcase its total lighting solutions and LED (light-emitting diode) design capabilities at Lightfair International, May 9 - 11 at the Las Vegas Convention Center. Arrow Electronics, a global distributor of electronic components and solid-state lighting solutions, will also demonstrate the Arrow Lighting Designer, its new web-based design tool, in booth #4921.

From concept to production, Arrow works with customers to provide a full range of LED lighting services. Customers can choose their level of support from a full turnkey solution with built-to-spec light engines, drivers, heat sinks and optics, or a customized approach based on their specific needs. With access to leading-edge technology, global supply chain management services, design services and an experienced technical team, Arrow can assist customers with all of their solid-state lighting needs.

Arrow‘s new Arrow Lighting Designer platform combines multiple tools for selecting and optimizing LED solutions, adding secondary optics, defining the power supply and selecting and laying out a design. In addition to valuable LED product and system data, the tool offers several LED system solutions. Users can see suggested alternatives and return on investment for transitioning from traditional lighting.
