With the commoditisation of general LED lighting the market became flooded with low-cost products mass- manufactured overseas. Whilst considered ‘good enough’ for many, several markets demand more exacting quality of light and manufacture. MARL prides itself on quality and stepped up to these challenges.
MARL has become successful in marine and defence lighting applications, thanks to its ability to: work to exacting requirements and military standards; keep consistent communication with customers at every project stage; and deliver ruggedised lighting that can withstand harsh environments and requires little to no maintenance.
Other specialist markets MARL flourishes in include: transportation thanks to a long history of working with the rail industry; and film/stage lighting which requires a particular quality of light (high colour rendering index) that makes the subject’s colours show up more accurately and vibrantly.
MARL recently upgraded its toolroom and design facilities. A new Hurco VM20i vertical machining centre was delivered last year to double machining capability, meet schedule requirements and support rapid design and development projects.
Additionally, a new darkroom features a high precision rotation luminaire goniospectroradiometer for measurement of luminous flux, production of IES files and detailed reporting. This enables in-house testing and a quicker turnaround for MARL and its customers.
