Lumex Launches Innovative 3-Watt AstraLED
RGB LED
Unique high-power RGB LED combines
cost and space savings with superior performance
Lumex announces an expansion of the company’s
extensive line of high-power technologies with
the introduction of AstraLED™ RGB, an innovative
high-power LED that combines cost and space
savings with superior color performance.
“AstraLED RGB is ideal for a wide variety of
kitchen appliance, communications equipment,
medical device, automotive and sign applications
that require bright, intense light with low
power consumption,” explains Jeff Oliveros,
Director of Engineering for Lumex. “High-power
LEDs are a rapidly growing market and innovative
RGB high-power LEDs represent the latest generation
of technology designed to enhance efficiencies
and provide design engineers with greater opportunities
for color innovation.”
The use of an AstraLED RGB can result in up
to a 30% cost savings , as well as 67% real
estate package savings when compared to the
use of individual high power red, green and
blue packages. The use of a single RGB package
also enhances production efficiencies as a single
part number eliminates the need for three separate
LED part numbers.
The high-power AstraLED RGB provides color
rendering performance that is superior to traditional
phosphor converted high-power white LED technologies.
This feature offers enhanced color consistency
and is especially beneficial in both consumer
and commercial appliance lighting applications
that require warm white that closely matches
incandescent lighting, such as accent lighting
or landscape lighting.
The RoHS compliant AstraLED RGB provides ultra-bright,
full-color output in a 3-Watt high-power package.
AstraLED RGBs deliver light intensity of 8/25/20
lumens respectively at 300mA (red), 350mA (green)
and 350mA (blue) of current with an operating
temperature of -30˚C ~ +85˚C.
AstraLED RGBs have an off-the-board height
of 3.3mm (0.13 inches) and occupy a circuit
board footprint which is 10mm x 16mm (0.39 inches
x 0.63 inches). They are available in tubes
for automatic insertion.
The new units can withstand standard lead-free
reflow soldering temperatures up to 260˚C.
Samples of these devices are available from
stock, with production quantities in 6-8 weeks.
Pricing is dependent on quantity ordered, and
is approximately $4.00 per unit in production
quantities.
