We looked beyond simply providing the right optics material

Our LED-grade Makrolon® polycarbonate provided Kenall with the ideal material to improve their secondary and tertiary optics. In addition, we provided mold flow analyses and design support to help optimize the lumen output of their optics. Our materials, in combination with intelligent design, efficient power electronics and state-of-the-art LED sources, enable Kenall to offer some of the most energy efficient and effective lighting products on the market, as reported by the U.S. Department of Energy’s LED Light Facts program.
