InstaLumen Driverless LED Light Bar

Solid Apollo LED introduces the new InstaLumen Driverless LED Light Bar which plugs directly into any standard household AC outlet. Bring energy saving, long lasting LED illumination to any indoor location. The low profile and premium design is UL listed and comes ready to plug in straight out of the box. The InstaLumen LED Light Bar can even be hardwired to create a seamless and wireless appearance.

Currently do-it-yourselfers, architects and lighting designers could only choose between clumsy basic light bars to over the top expensive light bar systems. The less expensive indoor LED light bars require drivers and transformers, leading to more wiring and more installation time. The more expensive options offer plug and play capability but have more bulky designs. Users needed an easy to mount LED light bar which can either be out of site or at least mounted discretely.

The InstaLumen Light Bar is the solution, by providing a low profile design while still being budget friendly. “Out of the various light bar options we have, our customers needed a LED light bar that was more user friendly, something that works immediately right of the box, that is where the InstaLumen Light Bar shines,” stated Manuel Barquin, CEO of Solid Apollo LED. Optionally, the InstaLumen Light Bar can be hard wired directly to a power source for a more seamless integrated appearance. The clean premium design and built in mounting points help give the InstaLumen a compact and low profile shape.

The InstaLumen Light Bar includes long lasting LED diodes, and consumes little power resulting in direct energy savings. And without the need for transformers and drivers, wiring is eliminated and installation time is greatly reduced. The double row of bright LED lights never become hot to the touch compared to incandescent light bulbs.

Daylight White InstaLumen Driverless LED Light Bar

The InstaLumen Light Bar has a durable sealed design, so there is no worry of damaging the bright double row of LED’s. The InstaLumen comes in glossy white and shines one of two optional white colors, Daylight White or Pure White, and comes in lengths of 20 or 40 inches. The 20 inch length is perfect for smaller areas, such as closets and pantries, whereas the 40 inch length is great for bathrooms, project areas and workbenches. The InstaLumen Driverless LED Light Bar is the fastest way to add beautiful lighting to a variety of areas, from under cabinets, to closets or garages.

Soild Apollo LED has a range of driverless LED products, such as the RGB Color Changing Waterproof Light Strip which comes in lengths up to 165 continuous feet long with only one plug in, and has several optional controllers for color changing or solid color display.

Onyx 2 Zone In-Wall Wireless LED Dimmer

Are current wall mount LED dimmers too brightly finished, too cumbersome, too yesterday? Look to Solid Apollo LED’s new Onyx 2 Zone In-Wall Wireless LED Dimmer as an elegant modern design ready to bring easy LED control to any surrounding. At night, the LED dimmer has a subtle glow on each of its four buttons, bringing about a futuristic flavor, and the wireless capability significantly reduces installation time. The design has also been created to easily fit U.S. style gang boxes.

The current market for contemporary styled wall mount LED dimmers is limited. Where users desire a dark finish and an extremely subtle design, most current models come in bright colors, without a smooth touch surface, and have a number of graphics preventing a clean design. Even fewer modern LED dimmers come ready to wall mount in U.S. style wall mount shapes.

The Onyx 2 Zone is the polar opposite of current LED dimmers. The extremely subtle Piano Black touch surface and simple on/off buttons have a completely minimalistic and contemporary design. “The Onyx 2 Zone is different – subtle, elegant and wrapped in an ultramodern wall mount shape,” stated Manuel Barquin, CEO of Solid Apollo LED, “the wireless connection saves time and energy by requiring no cabling from the wall controller to the LED zones.” The wireless control is perfect for a variety of single color lights, whether indoors or outdoors, or even upstairs or downstairs from the dimmers location.

Onyx 2 Zone In-Wall Wireless LED Dimmer & Receiver

The Onyx 2 Zone comes with two-zone control for full independent control of two LED light zones. Turn either zone on or off, or choose different brightness levels for each zone from 0% to 100% brightness. The 50-foot wireless range also makes choosing a location easier by not having restriction due to a short wireless range. The Onyx 2 Zone also includes a memory function, which remembers the last brightness setting even if the power goes out.

Look to the new Onyx 2 Zone In-Wall Wireless LED Dimmer as an elegant yet contemporary design to compliment any modern LED lighting project.

Solid Apollo LED also carries a variety of single color LED strip lights, such as the candlelight warm white low voltage strip light, which creates a beautiful white color, similar to the color produced by candle light. This is the softest white available and is excellent for adding LED accent lighting to a variety of indoor locations.

Duet DMX & Wireless RGB-W In-Wall Controller

Solid Apollo LED’s new wall mounted Duet DMX & RGB-W LED Controller has been created to control LED light fixtures in three different ways. Users can independently control DMX enabled LED fixtures or non-DMX LED fixtures operating in RGB-W mode, or use both DMX and non-DMX systems simultaneously.

The Duet can be wired directly to any DMX enabled LED lighting fixture, such as LED wall washers and flood lights, or the Duet’s wireless capability can be used to control any non-DMX LED lighting fixture using the optional wireless receiver, for color changing LED strips or lights. The simple modern design and budget friendly price make the Duet LED Controller an excellent option for easily color changing LED control.

Currently do-it-yourselfers, architects, lighting designers, and contractors have to use separate systems for projects involving DMX and non-DMX color changing LED lights. Multiple controllers were required for control and extra wiring and increased installation time was necessary. Current DMX controllers have also grown in complexity in recent years and are expensive to purchase and difficult to learn and use. “As more and more LED lighting fixtures require DMX control systems, a need for a lower cost and more user friendly LED controller has become evident” stated Manuel Barquin, CEO of Solid Apollo LED.

Duet 3 Zone DMX & Wireless RGB-W In-Wall Controller

The Duet is a budget-friendly LED controller, with a clean contemporary design created to fit all US-style gang boxes. The elegant Ivory White finish and touch sensitive glass has simple and uncluttered controls that can easily be learned. The Duet also has many new exciting functions, such as the ability to control RGB plus white, which is being more extensively used in the market for users to have color when they want it, and white when they need it. The Duet comes with simple touch controls: such as a color wheel for quick color choices, one touch full dimming control, three color and brightness saving options for preferred light settings, and six built in programs for color changing effects for parties and displays.

The Duet DMX & Wireless RGB-W LED Controller is the low cost modern alternative for controlling DMX and non-DMX color changing LED fixtures.

Gecko 2-Zone LED Dimmer

The Gecko Wireless Dimmer from Solid Apollo is an entirely new wireless dimmer design. No more switchboxes, wiring or extensive installation time is required to control your LED lighting project. The Gecko Dimmer has the function and appearance of a normal wall switch, but instead it simply sticks to the wall and pairs completely wirelessly with a hidden receiver for full LED lighting control. Strong double sided tape is included for quick and easy placement on a variety of flat surfaces.

Current low voltage wall-mounted LED dimmers require power hard wired to the dimmer, taking valuable time to cut an unsightly hole in the mounting surface, then run and attach wiring and complete the full installation to bring wall-mounted control to LED Lights. Depending on the type of mounting surface chosen, even more extensive modification to the wall, or specialized tools could be required to accurately prepare the surface. The solution is the Gecko Wireless Dimmer, which works similar to a normal wall switch, but without the need of complex wiring or difficult installation.

The CEO of Soild Apollo, Manuel Barquin, stated, “The new Gecko is incredibly simple – now you can have LED control on any flat surface. There are no more restrictions, you can now mount almost anywhere, even previously difficult to mount surfaces like brick, concrete or marble, the possibilities are endless!”

Gecko 2-Zone LED Dimmer and Receiver

The Gecko is finished in Ivory White with a beautiful glass surface, with full LED dimming control of two zones and includes a soft-on soft-off “theatre style” dimming control which turns the lights on or off slowly. Durable double sided tape is included with the Gecko Dimmer for quick yet strong surface mount and also includes screws for hard mount permanent installation.

The Gecko Wireless LED Dimmer is perfect for controlling up to two zones of single color LED lights. Stick or mount to a variety of flat surfaces, such as walls, ceilings, floors, undercabinets, on furniture, or even leave unmounted as a hand held remote. Solid Apollo also has a large selection of LED strip lights to pair with the Gecko, such as the Warm White High Brightness 43W LED Strip Light, for beautiful accent lighting that’s also easy to stick and mount.

New Outdoor and Landscaping LED Lights

Solid Apollo LED Lighting introduces a new range of seven outdoor and landscaping LED Lighting solutions. Each high quality low voltage LED landscaping light comes with a variety of colors, mounting options, and sizes to bring the perfect amount of light to any outdoor project. With summer here, a desire to improve and enjoy our outdoor living areas, such as gardens, decks and patios, is even more important.

Current outdoor lighting options are limited, many flood too much light and cannot be dimmed and even fewer have multi-color options. Even the number of lights able to link together can be limited. Solid Apollo’s answer is variety – vibrant colors from white, to color changing RGB, and even RGB-W: with color changing when you want and white when you need it. The color changing lights are extremely compact and efficient as the color mixing is done directly in each LED, no separate inefficient single color LED’s are required to make the colors. The color mixing creates a more efficient, brighter and more compact design. Also multi-positionable options, from solid mount, stake mount, in-ground and in-wall mounting is possible. Each light is low voltage, fully dimmable and can be tied together for a long chain of lighting.

Manuel Barquin, the CEO of Solid Apollo, stated, “With so few options available in the current market, a need for vibrant colors and a variety of mounting options is exactly what’s needed to make the most out of all outdoor projects.”

Pathway RGB Dimmable LED In-Ground Landscaping Light

Each of the seven available models bring a variety of durable long-lasting options to any outdoor project. For example, the LED Beamer is a powerful multi-adjustable round LED light with RGB-W color changing and white. The LED’s in the Beamer mix the actual color in the LED, instead of using multiple separate color LED’s. This new design makes the Beamer even more powerful, yet compact and efficient. The PathwayPro is an in-ground LED light, with RGB-W color changing plus white and with two optional cover colors, in Stainless Steel or Coffee Brown. The PathwayPro is extremely durable and strong enough for people and vehicles to drive over without damage. The StepPro is a rectangular linear recessed in-wall light, great for adding light to walls, stairs, hallways, retaining walls and even around water features.

The seven models from Solid Apollo are great for bringing a variety of light options to any outdoor lighting project and can be configured to bring the perfect amount of light to any application. Solid Apollo also offers completely waterproof outdoor connectors, making longer, multiple wire connections, easier to do, including two, four and five wire connections.

Extensive Line of Aluminum Profiles

Solid Apollo LED Lighting has just released a new line of 11 unique aluminum LED lighting profiles. With a large variety of profiles to suit almost every LED project. Do-it-yourselfers, architects, lighting designers, and contractors now have even more options in creating the perfect LED Lighting installation.

This is the second generation of LED aluminum channels created by Solid Apollo and their experience and knowledge from the first generation has gone into making this new generation the best yet.

One of the largest issues lighting designers, contractors and architects face when developing linear lighting solutions, is to create clean, bright and functional systems. This requires the light to appear smooth and continuous.

Previously, there were only three basic solutions to create this effect: LED Light Strips, Neon lights and LED linear fixtures. These solutions unfortunately were difficult for creating a continuous path of light, as shadows and light gaps were easily created. These solutions also involved clumsy and bulky installations due to the amount of cabling required.

Another issue with linear LED lighting has been the difficulty to position the lights precisely to avoid glare and discomfort from improper installation.

According to Manuel Barquin, CEO of SolidApollo, “The idea is very simple, we have created high grade linear aluminum profiles in numerous shapes to meet the demands of almost every installation. Each profile is easy to use, simply place the LED strip in the profile, and use the optional diffusers to create a continuous linear path of light. There are really no limitations to the length or levels of brightness desired.”

There are several competitive advantages by using Solid Apollo’s LED lighting profiles. Depending on the profile chosen, LED strips from 12mm to 30mm wide can be used to achieve the exact color and brightness required. The profiles can also be customized to fit almost any length.

There are several exciting new designs now available. The first is the large variety of recessed profile options, such as the T12 Recessed, T20 Recessed, and the Floor profile. Not only can all of these profiles be installed in wood floors, walls, ceilings, drywall and cabinets, but the new floor model can also take the weight of people and vehicles on it. This is possible by the high grade PVC diffuser designed by Solid Apollo.

Corner Aluminum LED Strip Profile

Another new and improved design is the Corner profile, which has been constructed to easily fit in any 90 degree corner. The low profile and professional finish is perfect for installations requiring a discrete light source, such as display cases for jewelry or retail applications.

The new profiles from Solid Apollo can easily be installed directly indoors or outside, on facades, walls, floors and ceilings, and easily compliment a variety of businesses such as restaurants and hotels. Many of the profiles also offer multiple diffusers to meet the exact style of lighting required. The three diffusers are, clear, semi-frosted and opal finishes.

Solid Apollo also offers a wide selection of LED light strips, all using low voltage, from 12W to 72W, and they also offers a wide range of standard colors and up to five different white colors, to meet the exact needs of any installation.

10W FloodMAX LED Flood Light

Traditional Halogen and HPS Flood Lights cost hundreds of dollars to run and have limited applications and very specific uses. This meant home owners and businesses had to spend a lot on expensive lights that were costly to run, and burned out quickly. The new line of FloodMAX LED Flood Lights from Solid Apollo LED has all of the advantages of bright, far reaching flood lights, with the flexibility, reliability, low energy use and low heat production of LED lights.

Solid Apollo LED, long time innovator in the world of custom LED lighting, has introduced five distinct models of flood lights, for illuminating every type of indoor and outdoor area including gardens and plazas, to stadiums, large music venues and more! The FloodMAX series of LED Flood lights has a light that is perfect for any application, regardless of size. The series starts with a 10W, lightweight model that boasts an incredible 900 lumen output at only 10 Watts of power and ranges up to the 240W model which produces 21,800 lumens, which is enough light to light up arenas, large stages and huge warehouses.

Manuel Barquin, President at Solid Apollo LED stated, ”Our customers can enjoy the benefits of LED in a Flood Light format, meaning large areas can be easily lit up on any budget.”

LED Flood Lights can be used in multiple applications

The FloodMAX series of LED Flood lights by Solid Apollo LED has many indoor and outdoor lighting applications including walkway, custom lighting displays, workshops, exhibits, courtyards and outdoor hotel lighting. These Flood Lights are also UL listed and guaranteed to work at least 50,000 hours, so they are safe to put in areas other Flood Lights aren’t tested for. The FloodMAX series of LED Flood Lights also have a full Aluminum Heatsink and mount on each light, meaning they can be attached to nearly any surface indoors and outdoors and dissipate heat very efficiently, leading to extended life and higher energy savings.

Additionally the 100W and 240W FloodMAX models are able to run at up to 277 VAC, meaning they can be used in large industrial applications for longer periods of time. 277VAC lights operate at a lower amperage (current), decreasing overall power usage, and leading to longer product life.

Solid Apollo is offering 10W, 30W, 50W, 100W and 240W models to fit any lighting budget, and any size of job. By hardwiring into 100-240 VAC, users can enjoy beautiful LED light at its brightest, with the FloodMAX series of LED lights.

Glass Touch Color Spectrum

Previously trying to recess or mount LED controllers in the American market was very difficult and costly due to lack of LED controllers which fit in standard gang boxes. Now, users looking for sophisticated and recessed LED controllers have an easy to use, touch panel available to them with Solid Apollo’s new line of GlassTouch In-Wall Controllers. The GlassTouch Series of LED Controllers offers both color changing RGB LED control and single color LED control and is mountable inside any American Gang/Switch Box or can be recessed in a counter top, work bench, desk or other surface in an easy and safe way.

Solid Apollo has introduced two different types of controllers: a 255 level smooth LED dimmer and full color changing controller which users can use in retail displays for vivid, bright lighting or in the home for subtle moods and beautiful hues. Both controllers can be mounted in any wall or surface. GlassTouch LED controllers are available in White and Black polycarbonate, allowing users flexible color options in home and retail settings. Additionally, each GlassTouch Controller contains a memory function, meaning program settings and brightness levels will be remembered even if power is lost.

Manuel Barquin, President at Solid Apollo, stated; “The GlassTouch Controllers have created more places and ways than ever for more customers to take full control of their LED lights!”

For dimming, users can now have a sleek and elegant dimmer which gives you full lighting control and will fit inside any American Switch box, walls and more. These controllers offer intuitive dimming and precise brightness adjustment, meaning users can accurately dim their LED lights for specific lighting needs, or quickly adjust brightness with one touch on the sophisticated surface.

For RGB LED Lights, Solid Apollo offers it GlassTouch RGB Controller, which comes standard with 20 preloaded colors, 19 color-changing programs, brightness and speed control! Users can easily recall specific colors such as orange, ivory, teal or white for colorful displays, or set a mood with a fast or slow color changing program for setting a mood for home theaters, bedrooms, art displays, and more.

Glass In-Wall Dimmer (left) and RGB Controller (right)

Another brand new feature that Solid Apollo has introduced with its GlassTouch Controller is Sound Indication. On other LED Controllers, there is no confirmation that a button has been pressed on a touch panel. Now, when a button is pressed on either GlassTouch Controller (Dimmer or RGB) a home or business owner can hear a light beep to know a slow moving program has started, or a subtle color change has occurred. This is perfect for retail environments, home lighting, and monitor backlighting, and setting moods in any room. This sound Indication can also be muted when the needs required via the power button.

The GlassTouchTM line of RGB Controllers and Dimmers by Solid Apollo LED are the perfect dimming solution for 12-24V led lights, and can be the centerpiece of kitchen, bedroom, office and retail lighting.

RGB-W Color Changing and Warm White Strip Lights

There are many applications including restaurant lighting, high-end retail lighting, and hospitality lighting where color-changing RGB LED and white LED light can be used to create unique lighting environments. However, in home and business lighting many retailers, designers and contractors have had to compromise between clear white light and the option of bright, changing color. If both were used it meant separate, expensive lighting fixtures with at least two controllers. Now, users can easily control colors and white light with Solid Apollo’s Color Pro RGB + White LED Strip, which are two lighting fixtures in one easy-to-use product!

Available in RGB with Warm White (3000K) and RGB with Daylight White (4500K), the ColorPro series of LED Strip combines two high brightness strips into one ¾” segment, and is still cuttable every 4.75” inches, meaning custom lighting projects and art pieces are still possible while having more color options than ever. Bright pastels, subtle warm colors, and new tints are available alongside traditional whites and RGB colors.

Rather than having alternating color and white LED light, Solid Apollo combined two full LED strips into one lighting fixture, meaning a new array of colors and lighting flexibility without compromising half of the LEDs on the strip. This means anywhere bright linear lighting is needed, users can now create a bright white light, as well as vivid colors at a high level of brightness, providing light to a variety of areas including cove and undercabinet lighting.

“This product is the ultimate lighting tool for unique venues, art projects, nightlife events, colorful displays, and creating custom colors not previously available with LED lighting” stated Manuel Barquin, President at Solid Apollo LED.

8 Zone RGB-W Controller

For those looking to get the most out of RGB-W Strip, the ColorPro RGB-W strip from Solid Apollo is perfectly combined with their 8 Zone LED Controller and the In-Wall RGB-W DMX Controller, both of which have dedicated white channel functionality. This means users can separately control white and RGB LED channels on their strip for fine tuning hues, for mood lighting and the brightness of each channel for colorful displays to light up retail displays, nightlife events, bars and pubs.

The ColorPro is perfect for home theaters, beautiful under cabinet lighting, dens, restaurants, and anywhere a variety of custom colors and white light are needed at different times. Solid Apollo, an innovator in LED custom lighting solutions, has created the perfect combination of color-changing LED light with a dedicated white channel which offers bright lighting, multiple new moods and colors not possible with just RGB light alone.
