The LED has a short but very successful history. We as m.a.l. are proud to have helped shape this history. In 1962, physicist Nick Holonyak developed the first commercial red LED.
In 1992 the blue LED was developed by Shuji Nakamura. This is still considered the basis for the development of white LEDs. In 1994 our company m.a.l. Effekt Technik GmbH was founded.
Only a short time later, Nichia introduced the white LED to the market for the first time in 1996. The light of a blue LED was combined with a yellow dye and converted into white light. This laid the foundation for commercial general lighting using LEDs.
In 2000, our company specialized in LED lighting solutions. Since then, the fascination for LEDs has never left us. The quality of light plays a central role for us. We use only high quality LEDs from renowned manufacturers for our LED modules.
Our modules are equipped with selected LEDs, which together fulfill 3 Step McAdam. The genius of it? No more color differences are perceptible! We use LEDs with the highest efficiencies - 210 Im/W are not uncommon for us.
With our white LED modules, color rendering in CRI 80 (Color rendering index), CRI 90 and on request CRI 95 are possible.
