LEDs have the X-factor as Hylec-APL introduces the Kingbright X Power range of Super-bright LEDs
UK component specialist Hylec-APL have introduced Kingbright’s range of super bright high-power LEDs, aimed at OEMs looking to employ the low power requirement and high reliability of solid state lighting that LEDs provide, but with very high luminosity. Ideal for high illumination in safety and signalling applications as well as space lighting from a compact source. The units are designed to be PCB mounted and are available in a range of colours.
The new Kingbright X-Power High Current LEDs are supplied either as single SMD LEDs or pre-mounted on a star-shaped PCB. Red, Green, Blue and Yellow are available up to 1W units, Red and Yellow are available up to 2W and Blue coloured units are available in higher power 3W and 5W variations. An RGB version is also available.
All colour variations feature high luminous intensity (up to 11 Iv (cd) @ 350mA) and allow for high current drive at low voltage. They also feature low thermal resistance and ESD protection up to 8,000V. The LEDs are Lead-free and RoHS compliant; due to the high output substrate used they are not suitable for reflow soldering.
Potential applications requiring solid-state reliability and high performance include traffic signalling, backlighting for signs and advertising, flashlights, signal and marker lighting, emergency lighting. The units have a -40 deg C to +85 deg C operating temperature range and some moisture protection (level of 2a) and so are suitable for use both indoors and outdoors.
Commercial and residential architectural lighting is also an ideal area of application as the low power consumption makes them highly energy efficient when compared to more conventional filament bulb lighting. This type of LED is also moving on in automotive applications use for example as red rear brake lights; debuted most notably in the latest range of high-end Audis, including the range topping R8 sports car.
Individual SMD LEDs are available on tape & reel; while PCB mounted items are available as individuals. Hylec-APL provide free impartial advice and Kingbright product samples to help ensure the right connection is made every time.
