New Automotive 9mm (T3-1/4) Wedge Based LED Lamps for
Side Marker Indicators Increase Vehicles’ Visibility and Safety
 TORRANCE,
CA — April 24, 2002 — LEDtronics announces sunlight-visible,
right-angled 9mm (T3¼) AUT194 WedgeLED Lamps that are designed
to replace incandescent 194 and 168 bulbs in side marker indicators of
trailers, campers and trucks. AUT-194 LED lamps feature either four Super
Red (630nm) or Super Yellow (590nm) LEDtronics discrete SML1209-OER-TR
or SML1209OPY-TR SMT LEDs, respectively. The discrete LEDs are mounted
on a printed circuit board that is integrated into a 9mm-wedge base.
AUT194 LEDs illuminate the entire surface of the fixture and pass standard
J592 of the Society of Automotive Engineers. Red AUT194 LED lamps output
5000mcd. Yellow lamps emit 6000mcd.
Integrating solid-state electronics with advanced LED technology, LEDtronics’ AUT-194
LED lamps offer automotive applications years of reliable performance,
which represents potentially millions of dollars in reduced repairs and
ancillary costs. The AUT-194 LED lamps advantages over equivalent incandescents
are not limited to automotive repairs and accidents, but extend to collateral
issues such as property damage claims, productivity losses, medical expenses,
legal and court costs, etc. . . . AUT-194 LEDs offer economic savings
far greater than offered by the price of the incandescent bulb. LEDtronics’ AUT-194
automotive LED bulbs feature industry-standard 9mm wedge bases that are
plug-compatible with most major automotive manufacturers’ 12/14-Volt
DC systems.
LED lamps’ low-current, high-efficiency operation uses on 10%
- 20% of the power consumed by incandescents. Not only are AUT-194
LED lamps energy friendly, but the reduced power consumption presents
both the manufacturer and vehicle owner with a number of potential
cost savings and design options such as reducing the size of the alternator,
using light gauge wire for the electrical system and improving fuel
consumption due to less weight and engine load. Additionally, LED lamps
produce little or no heat resulting in lighted panels that are cool-to-the-touch
unlike those lit by incandescent lamps. A typical LED lamp provides
an intense beam of colored light. The intensity and wavelength remain
stable over the lamp’s lifetime of 100,000-plus hours. (That’s
30-50 times longer than incandescent bulbs)
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 LED Lamps, low-cost snap-in and relampable Panel Mount LED Lamps,
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 AUT-194 LED lamps are $12.50 each. Samples are available for
qualified customers. For more information on AUT-194 LED lamps, contact
