SST was founded in 1996 and began as a manufacturer of chips and wafers that were used to make LEDs and High-powered Lasers. SST began making its own LED products (including flashlights and mechanics lights) in 2005 and now holds patents on its AS-LED modules, LED penlights, and various other LED Lighting products. SST’s LED products are very high quality; all of SST’s AS-LED modules and LED products are manufactured with the most advanced LED chips available.
SST has been making light fixtures for tool storage cabinets, hutches and risers since 2011. Our KEWLED Light fixtures are made of sturdy extruded aluminum and are ideal for riser or hutch lighting. Because they are made of extruded aluminum, they have far better heat dissipation and a longer expected lifetime than tool box fixtures that are made of plastic. They are also more durable and brighter than other tool box hutch light fixtures on the market. Note that Plastic is NOT GOOD to use with any high-power lighting applications!
