LEDs for mission-critical lighting applications

Edison Opto's 15W High Power LED and Macroblock's MBI1801 LED Driver work well together in traffic applications

First Components can supply a combination of Edison Opto's EPLW-2E00 15W high-power LED and Macroblock's MBI1801 LED Driver.

The MBI1801 analogue driver is suitable for lighting applications in high-speed photography, for traffic projects and for all applications that need a uniform non-pulsed light output.

Its +/-0.1% accuracy relative to the LED's supply voltage underlines its suitability for high-end use.

The device's Enable input can be used to enable and disable the driver within 500ns (typically) supporting PWM operation at frequencies up to 1MHz.

The chip is supplied in a TO263 package and comes with an integrated over-temperature protection that alerts with an eye-catching flashing.

The EPLW-2E00 15W LED is ideally suited for operation with this driver device.

Its forward voltage of 14.2V (for blue, white, warm white, and green) warrants efficient operation at 15V DC.

The resulting load of the LED driver is less than 1W, and the low heat dissipation allows for space and energy savings.

With up to 650lm, the luminous flux of this LED reaches the same order of magnitude as a 35W low-voltage halogen capsule's (e.g 650lm HNST35W), enabling power savings of up to 57%.
