Lighting Ahead
“Even as the government makes all the effort to promote LED lighting, the highest priority should be given to quality”
Navitas is the LED lighting brand of Zero Systems, an electronics/
embedded product design and manufacturing company. The company has over 30 years’ experience in the field of data processing and, more recently, in the design of LED signage systems. In 2012, it ventured into designing efficient LED lights. By 2013, with these lights successfully built, the company decided to develop more efficient LED products to replace the power hungry metal halide lamps widely used in industrial sheds. Suhas A. Kulkarni, the founder of the company, has won accolades like the ‘Best Woman Entrepreneur’ award from the government of Maharashtra in 2018 and the ‘Entrepreneur of the Year’ award for 2015 from the Vidarbha Industries Association. In conversation with Potshangbam July of Electronics Bazaar, she talks about the company and its products, government policies and incentives, the current challenges faced in the LED lighting industry and its future potential.

Choosing lenses and reflectors for LED lights
There is no single parameter that can guarantee the optical performance of a given lens. We need to understand several parameters and the relationships between them, before arriving at a good lighting solution. And critical to this decision making process is an understanding of how LED lenses and reflectors can be combined for the best results.
