Providing lighting designers with a high intensity, reliable and cost-effective backlighting solution, TT electronics OPTEK Technology has developed a new family of visible LED backlighting strips. Designated OPA775 and OPA776, the “Jacob’s Ladder” series of backlighting strips are offered with daylight white LEDs and designed specifically for illumination of small- and medium-size display applications where lighting intensity and reliabili...

Providing lighting designers with a high-brightness, long lasting LED lighting solution, TT electronics OPTEK Technology has expanded its offering of star-shaped LED assemblies. Designated the Optimal XIV Star Series, the assemblies feature multiple white LEDs with a luminous flux range up to 650lm, while the design provides superior thermal performance by recessing its multiple die into a metal core PC board.
