Reflector diffuser technology boosts backlights
A new series of backlight panels is available in a variety of colours and sizes, making them ideal for a wide range of applications.
Used wherever specialty lighting is needed, these versatile, general-lighting LEDs open up new applications in reading lights, mood lighting, display cabinets and car interior lighting.
Cotco warm white LEDs deliver superior colour rendering and colour temperature previously associated only with incandescent and halogen lamps.
This is achieved by changing the product's convertor mix.
White light is normally produced when a blue chip is combined with a yellow convertor phosphor.
By adding a red convertor phosphor, a warmer white tone is achieved.
Cotco has perfected this phosphor mixing technique to achieve a consistent typical colour temperature of 3000K for through hole devices and 3200K for SMT packages.
Cotco warm white LEDs make an entire new world of lighting applications possible.
Pricing for the WR1 warm white LEDs from Cotco starts at $0.58 in 5000-unit lots depending on package.
