Small LED optimizes light output, efficacy

Designed to boost system efficiency in a wide variety of home, office, and street lighting systems, the 3 x 3-mm-footprint Oslon Square LED has an LED chip enclosed by a reflective layer that redirects light emitted at the side or back to make it useful. Further, light reflected back to the LED from, say, a diffuser or lens can also be recycled by the reflector.

Available in warm-, neutral-, and cool-white versions, the 3,000K version has a CRI of 80 min. and an efficacy over 90 lm/W when operated at 700 mA, while the cool white version can provide up to 130 lm/W at 350 mA and a CRI greater than 65. The LEDs have a low, 3.8 to 4.0-K/W thermal resistance and come in robust packages suitable for outdoor use. (Contact Brian Terao for pricing and availability.)
