LEDs Emit Uniform Light Through Concave Lenses
 Concave
Cylindrical 5 mm Discrete LEDs emit light that is as bright at edges
as it is in center. Concave lenses spread out collimated beam of light,
producing illumination that is visible in direct sunlight. Provided with
sturdy leads for wire wrap applications, products are available in 6
colors. Each employs solid-state design that renders product impervious
to electrical and mechanical shock, vibration, frequent switching, and
environmental extremes.
New Concave LEDs Answer the Need for Light Beams of Even Brightness
Throughout
TORRANCE, CA — June 18, 2004 — LEDtronics® announces Concave
Cylindrical 5mm (T1-3/4) Discrete LEDs (Light Emitting Diodes) that emit
light that is as bright at its edges as it is in the center. Concave lenses
improve the quality of the light beam by spreading out the collimated beam
of light that LEDs typically emit. These high-intensity LEDs produce illumination
that is bright even in direct sunlight, making them excellent sources of
illumination for applications such as backlighting, medical equipment and
channel-letter illumination. Sturdy leads are provided for wire wrap applications.
Select from six sunlight-visible colors: Green (525nm and 568nm), Cool
White (8000K), Blue (461nm), Yellow (596nm and 585nm), Red (655nm, 660nm
and 630nm) and Orange (606nm).
Solid-state design renders LEDs impervious to electrical and mechanical
shock, vibration, frequent switching and environmental extremes. With an
average life span of 100,000 plus hours (11 years), LEDs operate reliably
year after year and are appropriate for many applications. They can be
used as individual pixels in a large dot matrix screen, full color screens,
moving signs and displays. More diverse applications for LEDs include light
sources for scanners used in color copiers, spectral analysis, high-speed
document reading and color synthesis. Other applications include medical
imaging and biomedical instrumentation, telecommunications equipment, machine
vision systems, and color recognition and calibration systems - any application
that requires a bright, reliable LED.
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 5mm (T1¾) Concave Cylindrical Discrete LEDs range from
$0.17 - $0.74 each in quantities of 1,000 depending on the LED technology
and
color. Availability is stock to 4 – 6 weeks for special requirements.
Samples are available for qualified customers. For additional information
