High-Power LED Delivers Cost, Space Savings

An expansion to Lumex's line of high-power technologies is the introduction of AstraLED RGB, a high-power LED that combines cost and space savings with superior color performance. The use of an AstraLED RGB can result in up to a 30% cost savings, as well as 67% real estate package savings when compared to the use of individual high power red, green and blue packages. The use of a single RGB package also enhances production efficiencies as a single part number eliminates the need for three separate LED part numbers.

The high-power AstraLED RGB provides color rendering performance that is superior to traditional phosphor converted high-power white LED technologies. These LEDs are ideal for use in many medical device applications. Lumex's AstraLED RGB responds to the needs of the marketplace with color innovation, offering even greater flexibility to design engineers.

The RoHS compliant AstraLED RGB provides ultra-bright, full-color output in a 3W high-power package.

AstraLED RGBs deliver light intensity of 8/25/20 lumens respectively at 300mA (red), 350mA (green) and 350mA (blue) of current with an operating temperature of -30°C to +85°C. AstraLED RGBs have an off-the-board height of 3.3mm (0.13") and occupy a circuit board footprint of 10mm x 16mm (0.39" x 0.63"). They are available in tubes for automatic insertion. The units can withstand standard lead-free reflow soldering temperatures up to 260°C.
