Our extensive offering of 480/347 volt slim profile step down transformers are optimized for use with universal input (120-277 VAC) LED drivers.

Today, mwConnect is engineering IoT solutions for our rapidly changing marketplace. With advanced design and manufacturing facilities, mwConnect offers extensive component choice for OEMs as well as robust solutions for contractors ESCOs and facility managers.

Offering reliable protection for LED lighting, mwConnect has engineered its LED Emergency Drivers to provide emergency backup power for safety, compliant with UL 924. An extensive selection of surge protectors affords supplemental surge protection in LED luminaires for additional protection from dangerous power line transients.

In March 4, 2024, McWong International rebranded itself as mwConnect.

“After 40 years and tremendous evolution as a company,” says Margaret Wong, President and Founder, “we have outgrown our original name and identity. We have evolved into a technology solutions provider of connected, smart lighting solutions and want to participate in the marketplace this way.”

“We are proud of our 40-year heritage as an American company founded by Chinese- and Irish-American immigrants,” notes Stephen Zhou, Executive Vice President. “To preserve this heritage as well demonstrate as our ongoing commitment to innovation, quality and service, we have chosen to incorporate our visual icon into our new name and logo.”

Blane Goettle, Executive Vice President, adds, “We embrace this new chapter in our history and look forward to serving our long-time customers as well as offering innovative new solutions to the marketplace.”
