LED comes to the rescue with brightest blue light

Designed to enhance the visibility of emergency vehicle lighting, the Oslon Signal LED is said to provide the world’s brightest blue light, double that of previous devices. Made using a special thin-film chip technology, the LED emits 472-nm light at an 80° angle, typically producing a luminous flux of 52 lm at 350 mA.

The devices uses UX:3 chips capable of operating at very high performance levels even when pulsed at extremely high currents, as emergency signals typically are. The lens provides a highly symmetrical light output and remains stable, resisting aging caused by short-wavelength light.

The 3 x 3-mm LED can be easily mounted in existing emergency vehicle lighting applications, and is equipped with an electrically isolated heat slug so it is suited to conventional FR4 boards. As with other members of the Oslon family, the package consists of a ceramic substrate with built-in connecting contacts. All color bins comply with the US and EU standards for signaling, (Contact Mike Martens for pricing and availability:
