TORRANCE, CA - March 27, 2002 - LEDtronics announces today the availability of sunlight-visible Linear Bargraph LEDs that simplify the organization of instrumentation
and improve the visual transfer of information displayed on aviation instrument
panels, temperature gauges, automotive instrument panels, volume levels, ultraviolet
meters, audio/video indicators, etc. . . . Linear Bargraph LEDs are offered in
two intensities: (1) Standard and (2) Super. Standard Intensity LEDs come in Ultra-Red
(660nm at 20mA), High-Efficiency Red (635nm at 20mA), Yellow (585nm at 20mA) and
High-Efficiency Green (565nm at20mA). Super Intensity LEDs are available in three
colors: (1) Super Orange (630nm at 20mA), Super Yellow (592nm at 20mA) and Aqua
Green (523nm at 20mA). Choose from 5-LED, 10-LED and 15-LED segments. For each
LED in the segment, there is a single common contact point for negative (Cathode)
and one contact point for each LED positive (Anode). LED Bargraphs make excellent
choices for a wide range of displays, fault or status indicators that require
easy-to-read readouts such as those that indicate low, safe, hot or cold and overfilled
conditions.
Linear Bargraph assemblies may be configured with LEDs of a single color or
with LEDs of multiple colors. Custom colors (Orange, Lime Green and Blue) that
may better complement your design may be ordered. All colors are sunlight visible.
Lenses are clear. Also, the segment color is white when powered off. These multi-colored
LED bargraphs enable the integration of low powered, evenly diffused, compact
module displays into user interfaces.
Solid-state design renders LED Bargraphs impervious to electrical and mechanical
shock, vibration, frequent switching and environmental extremes. With an average
life span of 100,000-plus hours (11 years), LED Bargraph diodes operate reliably
year after year. That’s more than 10-20 times longer than incandescent
bulbs! Additionally, LED Bargraphs are environmentally friendly because they
use 80% to 90% less operating power than standard incandescent bulbs. Think
of the savings from reduced power usage, maintenance costs and less downtime!
Founded in 1983, LEDtronics leads where others only follow when it comes to
designing, manufacturing and packaging state-of-the-art LEDs to meet the world’s
constantly changing lighting needs. Our inventive product line encompasses an
array of direct incandescent lamp replacement Based LEDs, low-cost snap-in and
relampable Panel Mount LEDs, high intensity sunlight-visible Discrete LEDs,
PCB LEDs circuit board status indicators, surface mount diodes SMT LEDs, full-spectrum
rainbow RGB LEDs and Infra-Red (IR) LEDs.
Prices for LED Bargraphs range from $0.88 each - $8.58 each in quantities of
1,000 depending on the choice of LED color and LED technology level. LED Bargraphs
are available as samples for qualified customers. For a additional information
