High-flux LEDs boast enhanced thermal performance
New from Marktech Optoelectronics is the Dorado series of high flux LEDs.
The LP6 Series surface mount is a highly reliable, low-cost solution where space is an issue.
The LP6-TPP1-01 can be tightly arranged on a single plane which results in an even distribution of colour and light.
The LED also features close chip density and brightness for excellent colour mixing.
Its 6-pin SMT package allows for individual control of each red, green and blue chip.
This creates an opportunity for users to produce a complete colour spectrum to better achieve specific and more uniform lighting architecture.
The LP6-TPP1-01 offers a low thermal resistance of 130C/W for increased package efficiency and improved heat dissipation, allowing the LED to be driven up to three-times harder then a standard full colour SMT package.
By allowing individual control of each chip along with the LEDs improved efficiencies and output, designers can save additional power usage on their total lighting system to reduce overall operating costs.
The LP6 Series RGB SMT is ideal for use in a number of accent and entertainment lighting applications that require colour-changing LEDs.
The rich colours possible with this versatile product also make it perfect for use in video display walls and liquid crystal display (LCD) backlighting.
Additional applications for the LP6 RGB SMT include multicolour backlighting where space is a premium, portable equipment, camera phone flash, light pipes, full colour signboards, decorative lighting, general indicators and amusement equipment.
Pricing for the LP6-TPP1-01 is $1.68 in 10,000 lots with free samples currently available.
