Full spectrum 1 W LED module backlighting and general illumination

29 June 2005 Opto-Electronics

A 1 W LED module capable of up to 60-lumen output for a wide range of general illumination and specialty lighting applications has been released by Bivar.

Immediate uses include safety, signalling, emergency lighting and use in general lighting applications such as flashlights, household lighting and automotive headlamps. The module can also be used for general illumination such as downlighting, concentrated specialty lighting and large flat panel display backlighting. Automotive, medical, aerospace, security, and other applications that require a bright, reliable light source are also anticipated to find major uses for this innovative LED module.

The new LK Series uses Cree's latest XLamp technology, provided in a compact surface mount device that is soldered onto an aluminium PCB base without epoxy. This enables the device to exhibit excellent thermal management characteristics. Capable of offering up to 130% more colour gamut for greater colour saturation while providing 40 to 60 lumen (Im) outputs, the entire module measures 20,3 mm in a hexagon pattern.

Featured in the encased metal module with an integrated lens, the LK offers a robust design for operating temperatures from -30 to 100°C. Viewing angle is 100°, with full spectrum wavelengths available from 465 nm to 635 nm, and also in white to 8000K. Maximum If rating is 400 mA.

For easy installation, the unit is available with a two-pin header-based connector assembly for simple snap-in, 'plug-and-play' circuitry and replacements. Other accessory packaging will be offered for general illumination applications featuring an integral TIR lens for use as spots, floods or wash lighting.
