BivarOpto™, the Optoelectronics Division of Bivar, Inc., introduces an all-new 1 Watt LED module capable of up to 60-lumen output for a wide range of general illumination and specialty lighting applications. Immediate uses of the new, higher intensity single chip LED-module include safety, signaling, emergency lighting and use in general lighting applications such as flashlights, household lighting and automotive headlamps. The module is also ideal for general illumination such as downlighting, concentrated specialty lighting and large flat panel display backlighting. Automotive, medical, aerospace, security, and other applications requiring a bright, reliable light sources are also anticipated to find major uses for this innovative LED module.
The new LK Series employs the latest Cree® XLamp™ technology, provided in a compact surface mount device (SMD) that is packaged onto an aluminum PCB base, using standard reflow processes to achieve electrical and thermal connections without epoxy. This enables the device to exhibit excellent thermal management characteristics. Capable of offering up to 130% more color gamut for greater color saturation while providing 40 to 60 lumen (Im) outputs, the entire module measures only 0.800” (20.3mm) in a hexagon pattern and is manufactured lead (Pb) free in compliance with WEEE and RoHS materials and process specifications to meet the growing global emphasis on environmental responsibility. Featured in the encased metal module with an integrated lens, the LK offers a robust design for operating temperatures from -30º to 100º C and ESD >2000V per Mil-Std-883D. Viewing angle is 100º, with full spectrum wavelengths available from 465nm to 635nm, and also in white to 8000K. Maximum If rating is 400mA. Lens appearance when off is transparent water clear.
For ease of installation, the unit is available with a two-pin header based connector assembly for simple snap-in, “plug n’ 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.
Anthony Vilgiate, Bivar’s Vice President of Marketing, stated, “The LK creates an all-new line of superior LED products for Bivar, opening new markets and new applications for highly reliable, leading edge display designs.” He further stated, “this new technology direction creates a substantial qualification for Bivar to contribute to new markets where we can offer the same level of global support and product quality that has given us credible relationships with OEMs worldwide.”
The LK LED Module is priced from $4.00 each in production quantities and is immediately available from stock. Custom assemblies designed to address customer specific lighting and illumination requirements are available (consult factory).
