LEDs are among the highest flux emitters
New 1 and 3W high-power LEDs deliver high luminosity, long operating life and system efficiency in a broad range of designs.
Everlight Electronics has developed 1 and 3W high-power LEDs that deliver high luminosity, long operating life and system efficiency in a broad range of designs Part of Everlight's XcelLED series, the EHP-AX08/P01 (1W) and EHP-AX08/P03 (3W) families are among the highest flux emitters on the market

Optocouplers provide design flexibility
The 4N2X, 4N3X, H11AX, CNY17-X and CNY17F-X phototransistor optocouplers offer flexibility when designing power supplies, programmable logic controllers and general-purpose switching circuits.
Optocouplers handle wide temperature range
Everlight's EL30XX triac driver optocouplers offer an inexpensive alternative to using costly discrete driving circuitry requiring multiple components that consume board space.
Applications that benefit from EHP-AX08 LEDs include backlighting (CFFL replacement in LCD TVs and screens), automotive lighting (interior and exterior signalling), as well as architectural, aerospace and emergency lighting.
Everlight's EHP-AX08 emitters feature a silicon lens, high luminous flux (up to 90 lumen/W) and low thermal resistance (15C/W, typical).
Sized in an industry-standard 8 x 8 x 5.7mm SOP, these LEDs are designed to handle higher reflow soldering temperatures and, unlike other packaging methods, their silicon encapsulation prevents accelerated degradation.
EHP-AX08 devices optimise heat control by providing low thermal resistance, alleviating a primary concern in LED applications.
And, in addition to increasing brightness, EHP-AX08 LEDs save power as their high-lumens output allows the LED to be driven at lower currents.
Furthermore, Everlight's two EHP-AX08 LED families increase design flexibility by offering many different configurations and device options.
Each LED in both the 1 and 3W families, for instance, offers a choice of four lenses (Lambertian, batwing, side-emitting and focus), eight basic colours including white (and at least two versions of each), as well as a star heatsink for each configuration.
Along with all available device options, Everlight offers precise binning for luminous flux, forward voltage, dominant wavelength and colour temperature, allowing strictly regulated end solutions.
"By reaching up to 90 lumens, Everlight's new high-power EHP-AX08 LEDs meet the growing market demand for brighter products", says Ewing Liu, Everlight's High Power/High Bright Technical Marketing Manager.
"Moreover, the many device options offered by both the 1- and 3-Watt families provide total design flexibility in an array of applications".
Price ranges from approximately US $1.00 for standard 1W versions to US $2.20 for 3W devices (in production quantities).
