Enhanced longevity for LED lighting systems with extended operational life. Our NCC capacitor solution ensures consistent light output, reduced maintenance costs, and reliable operation for commercial and industrial LED lighting applications.
LEDs typically last 50,000+ hours, while capacitors often fail much earlier, creating a system reliability bottleneck. NCC provides long-life capacitor solutions to match LED lifetimes.
LED drivers in enclosed fixtures experience elevated temperatures that accelerate capacitor aging. NCC capacitors offer enhanced temperature performance for these applications.
LED drivers operate at high frequency with significant ripple current, requiring capacitors with low ESR and high ripple tolerance to minimize heating.
