TORRANCE, CA — December 6, 2001 — Continuing to innovate on its offerings of direct incandescent replacement LED (light
emitting diode) lamps for process-control and machine status-indicator towers,
LEDtronics today announced the availability of StackLED® SMT LED lamps.
These lamps are manufactured using SMT (surface mount technology) processes
and incorporate 1206-profile SMT LEDs, resulting in StackLED lamps with
unprecedented brightness and reliability. Automated SMT fabrication enables
more LEDs to be placed on a printed circuit board with greater efficiency
and precision than possible with manual assembly. With a typical operating
life measured in years not hours, StackLED SMT lamps provide substantial
savings in maintenance and relamping along with the essential non-interrupted
flow of information between machine and man.
StackLED SMT lamps are ideal for indicator light towers on conveyor systems, pick-and-place assemblers,
automated surface mount machines, process control lines and high-noise
industrial environments. StackLED SMT lamps are plug-compatible with most major
manufacturers' stack light towers, require no modification to the indicator column,
and can be used with flasher circuits. With a wide choice of sizes, standard
electrical bases, six sunlight-visible colors, industry-standard voltages,
there's a StackLED SMT LED lamp to meet your requirements. StackLED
SMT lamps have double-sided printed circuit boards that have from 4 to
24, depending on the model, SMT LEDs on each side to provide 360-degree viewing.
Electrical
bases available are 15mm DC bayonet, 9mm miniature bayonet, candelabra
screw and wedge based. Polycarbonate globes protect the printed circuit boards
from impact and environmental conditions while optimizing viewing and
dispersing
light. StackLED lamps come in all standard voltages (12V, 24V, 120V)
AC or DC as well as AC/DC bipolar. StackLED lamps retrofit to a specific manufacturer's
stack holder and are designed specifically to operate in those models.
Choose
from six sunlight-visible LED colors: Red (660nm), Orange (610nm),
Yellow (595nm), Aqua Green (525nm), Blue (470nm) and White (8000K).
Incorporating state-of-the art LED technology, design and assembly, SMT
StackLED lamps are built to withstand the mechanical (vibrations) and electrical
stresses (fluctuations) that exist in the industrial environments where
vertical indicator towers are commonly used. With an average life span of
100,000-plus hours (11 years), LED lamps operate more than 20 times longer
than the equivalent incandescent lamp! Solid-state design renders LEDs impervious
to shock, vibration, frequent switching and environmental extremes. Savings
from reduced maintenance costs and downtime quickly return the investment
expenditure, which are important factors to consider when evaluating the
financial aspects of installing LED lamps. LED lamps produce almost no heat
and require 80% - 90% less operating power than equivalent incandescents,
making them as friendly to the environment as they are to the operating
budget.
Founded in 1983, LEDtronicsâ 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 StackLED SMT LED Lamps range from $19.68 - $68.88 each in
quantities of 50 depending on LED technology and model type. For additional
