Lextar Electronics, a leading LED maker integrating upper stream epitaxial, middle stream chip, and downstream package, SMT and LED lighting applications, expects to become the first provider of iOS-based control of LED lighting. The company is likely to acquire the certification from Apple in one to two months for enabling users of iOS mobile devices to make smart remote control of LED lighting, adjustment in color temperature, brightness and tone of LED lighting based on Bluetooth modules.
 
Certification from Apple is necessary because iOS devices require special authentication for Bluetooth Serial Port Profile devices. Certification will allow Lextar's products to include "Made for iPhone" and "Made for iPad" logos.
 
Therefore, currently, Lextar is working on new Bluetooth wireless LED lighting products that would be compatible with iOS devices. Its LED lighting technology allows users to adjust color temperature, brightness and tone. Additionally, LED lighting control for Lextar products was released for the Google Android platform in 2011.

Lextar anticipates both its hardware and software can acquire Apple’s certification.
