Leviton Manufacturing Co. Inc., Melville, N.Y., has purchased Quantran Systems Ltd., Watford, United Kingdom. For more than a quarter of a century, Quantran has pioneered, designed and manufactured architectural dimming and lighting control systems.
In a separate announcement, Leviton said it has joined the Zhaga consortium to promote interoperability in development of LED light sources by promoting standards for light-engine interfaces. By standardizing the external characteristics of LED products, the consortium seeks to increase buyer confidence in specifying and purchasing LED products, knowing that they will be easily replaceable and commercially available.
