Products include, emergency vehicle designs (mPower family of products, nForce family of products, Apex World Bar, Magnum, and ECE Minibar) hand held illumination device for general task lighting (PAR36 Hand Held). Geometries include Fusion Boost, Takedown and Alley lights, Light Bar modules, Traffic Controller, Corner Light Bar Modules, Secondary and Perimeter Modules, Intersector CA13. Used SolidWorks and OptisWorks extensively. Worked extensively with SAE J845, SAE J595, California Title 13, FMVSS108, and ECE R65.

I work on LED lighting systems for automobiles and for general task lighting. Developed reflex on the Mercedes W166, Chrysler Jeep WK, and the Chrysler RT. Optic Modelling with ASAP, CAD Modelling with CATIA.

is Tier 1 supplier to Chrysler, Ford, Nissan, and General Motors that designs, tests, and manufactures automotive lighting systems.Used CATIA 3D drafting to model lighting systemsModels from CATIA were used by ASAP (ray tracing program) to determine light characteristics of lighting systemsUsed LucidShape ray tracing programLearned the system required to quote, design, and determine feasibility of retro-reflectors (WK Jeep, RT Dodge, and Mercedes W166)Designed a license plate light for the Ford F150Performed measurements on a Hoffman Goniometer

We created, developed, and manufactured an LED replacement for neon lighting. Our product, Plexineon, was used in signage and architectural lighting. We also worked and developed LED bulb technology including color changing that got around the Color Kinetics patents. I was one of the founding members.
