White LEDs provide low power alternative to conventional lighting

The new LED is able to deliver typical performance of 35lm/W thanks to a low thermal resistance package that provides improved heat release characteristics. Typical forward voltage for the new device is rated at 3.4V (at a forward current of 250mA). A wide operating temperature range of -40°C to 100°C ensures suitability for a broad range of commercial, domestic, industrial and automotive applications.

Designed for use with automated lead-free (Pb-free) production lines, the new surface mount device is compatible with reflow soldering processes at temperatures up to 260°C.
