Forge Europa has recently updated its range to incorporate the latest developments in semiconductor materials. Typical intensities exceed 15 000mcd and products are binned for colour to comply with national standards such as the traffic signal specification EN12368.

Demanding applications such as traffic signalling or outdoor displays require outstanding performance and long term reliability. Forge Europa have recently updated their extensive range to incorporate the latest developments in semiconductor materials. Typical intensities exceed 15 000 mcd and products are binned for colour to comply with national standards such as the traffic signal specification EN12368.

Forge Europa, a leading manufacturer of LED products, offers a custom design and manufacturing facility for edge or direct illuminated LED backlights. Using LEDs has a number of advantages. They offer distinct and vivid colours, long life (50 000hours) and the opportunity for precise dimming or intensity control. Power consumption is very low and can be further reduced by using pwm drive circuits.

Forge Europa will be exhibiting at this year’s Electronica 2006 and will be launching a new range of standard and custom designed LED assemblies along with new product developments such as aLED high power LED lighting assemblies, high intensity traffic LEDs and long life LED technology.

Forge Europa has recently developed a number of standard assemblies using high power LEDs (1W) known as aLED. These aLEDs consist of a high power LED mounted on to a thermally optimised substrate complete with a connector or solder pads. This takes the headaches of thermal design away from the luminaire manufacturer and gives them an easy to use sub-assembly.

Just available from Forge Europa is what the company claims is the world’s most efficient power LED. The Cree XR lamp has an efficacy of 47lm/w and, at these levels, LED technology is considerably more efficient than incandescent or halogen and is starting to encroach on the province of fluorescent lighting. efficient power LEDs.

Forge Europa has recently introduced the company’s latest updated CD catalogue incorporating in excess of 2000 LED devices.

Forge Europa has expanded its range of high performance blue devices in seven segment, multidigit, dot matrix and discrete LED package styles, with the introduction of blue SPLEDs and Xlamps.

Forge Europa's new SPlined LEDs – SPLEDs for short – are LED bulb replacements which can be used without a printed circuit board. The contours of the LED just push into a pre-drilled hole with a secure friction fit, and insulation displacement connectors make interconnection easy.

The latest precision high intensity LEDs available from Forge Europa continue to build on recent developments in chip technology, providing a range of new devices ideally suited to traffic and information display applications.
