OUR MISSION
At LumeDEL LLC, our mission is to design and deliver unique, high output LED devices that will serve as essential, yet uncomplicated tools for end-users to perform leading edge research in both academic and industrial laboratories.
About LumeDEL
LumeDEL had its genesis when the founders realized that an increasing number of life sciences, medical, scientific, and industrial customers needed the performance of a fiber-coupled LED for their applications but had no idea how to go about it. Their experience and equipment still focused on lasers and mercury arc lamps. They wanted the benefits of an LED source, but in many cases, their needs had outpaced their technical skills.
The company’s multidisciplinary engineering team moved into action. The result is the NewDEL™ portfolio of fiber-coupled LEDs. Featuring dedicated spectral families targeting critical applications like spectroscopy, optogenetics, and fluorescence imaging, NewDEL fiber-coupled LEDs deliver high radiant power in a system that is ready to use out-of-the-box.
The launch of the NewDEL product portfolio is just the start. Other solutions targeting this user base are already in the concept stage.
Our Values
• A focus on innovation

High Radiant Power LEDs: Why Output Matters in Optical Systems
Introduction In optical systems, illumination quality is often judged by wavelength and stability. However, radiant power—the amount of optical energy delivered to a target—plays an equally critical role in determining system performance. High radiant power LEDs are essential in applications where signal strength, measurement accuracy, and detection sensitivity depend on sufficient optical intensity. From spectroscopy and fluorescence imaging to environmental sensing and analytical instrumentation, the ability to deliver consistent, high-output illumination can significantly improve system results. Understanding how radiant power impacts optical performance helps engineers and researchers select the right LED source for their application. What Is Radiant Power? Radiant power refers to the total optical energy emitted by a light source per unit time, typically measured in watts (W) or milliwatts (mW). In practical terms, radiant power determines: How much light reaches the sample The...
Fiberoptic Patch Cords and Accessories: Ensuring Efficient Light Delivery
Introduction In fiber-coupled optical systems, the performance of the light source is only part of the equation. The efficiency and reliability of light delivery depend heavily on the quality of the fiberoptic patch cords and accessories used within the system. Fiberoptic patch cords serve as the critical link between LED sources and optical instruments, guiding light with precision and consistency. Poor fiber selection or mismatched components can introduce losses, reduce signal strength, and impact measurement accuracy. Understanding how fiberoptic patch cords and accessories affect system performance is essential for achieving optimal results in spectroscopy, imaging, and sensing applications. What Are Fiberoptic Patch Cords? Fiberoptic patch cords are flexible optical cables designed to transmit light from one component to another. They typically consist of: A fiber core that carries the light Cladding that maintains internal reflection Protective outer jacketing Connector...
Understanding Fiber-Coupled LED Sources: Performance, Stability, and Integration
Introduction Fiber-coupled LED sources have become a preferred illumination solution for spectroscopy, imaging, sensing, and analytical instrumentation. By combining the efficiency and stability of modern LEDs with precision optical fiber delivery, these systems provide flexible, repeatable illumination for laboratory and OEM applications. Unlike free-space light sources, fiber-coupled LED sources allow the light engine to be physically separated from the application, improving system stability, reducing thermal influence, and simplifying integration. Understanding how fiber-coupled LED sources perform — and why they are increasingly specified in advanced optical systems — is critical when designing high-precision measurement platforms. What Is a Fiber-Coupled LED Source? A fiber-coupled LED source integrates: A high-performance LED emitter Precision coupling optics An optical fiber interface A stable electronic driver Light generated by the LED is efficiently focused into an optical...
