Lumex’s New OctoLED Combines Surface Mount Convenience with Through-Hole T-5mm LED Features
Lumex has released a new line of surface-mount devices that represent the first commercial technology to combine the convenience of surface-mount technology (SMT) with the features and capabilities of through-hole, leaded T-5mm epoxy lens LEDs.

The patent-pending OctoLEDs devices are the result of a design breakthrough at a time when most assemblies are moving toward SMT technology. “The OctoLED design is a direct replacement to standard 5 mm through-hole LEDs,” explains Jeff Oliveros, director of Engineering at Lumex. “OctoLEDs are ideal for any situation where there is a need to transition from through-hole to SMT technology, without sacrificing the light emission features of epoxy lenses.”

The OctoLEDs deliver brightness levels of up to 7,000 mcd (dependent on color) – a market first from any conventional SMT LED driven by the common If of 20 mA.

Lumex OctoLEDs can be used anywhere the convenience of surface mounting is required, with the high brightness, color and viewing angle choices of standard T-5 mm LEDs. Such applications include front panel, PCB multi-LED and industrial control or fault indicators. Additional applications include circuit fault and large-scale multi-color light bars, large display edge illumination, dot matrix moving sign displays and other dot matrix arrays where each LED needs to be individually addressable.

OctoLEDs have an off-the-board height of 11-mm (0.43 inches) and occupy a circuit board footprint, which is 6 mm by 6 mm (0.24 inches by 0.24 inches). They are available on standard 24-mm tape for automatic insertion.

Lumex OctoLEDs are available in the full range of colors including red, yellow, green, blue or white. Bi-color as well as RGB versions are also offered. The LEDs are available with a variety of lens finishes, opening the door to different viewing angle options (angle will vary dependent upon lens type).

The new units can withstand soldering temperatures of up to 10 seconds at 255ºC. A gradual temperature rise of 2º per second reaching 150ºC is recommended. Lumex OctoLEDs are RoHS compliant.

Samples of these devices in standard colors are available from stock, with production quantities in eight to 12 weeks. Pricing is dependent on color specified and quantity ordered, and is approximately $0.30 per unit in production quantities.


New DispenseJet DJ-9500 is up to 10 Times Faster than Needle Dispensers in High-Volume Underfill and LED Silicone Applications

Asymtek has released its new DispenseJet DJ-9500 fluid jetting valve for high-speed underfill applications and jetting silicone for LEDs. The DJ-9500’s flexible pneumatic design can jet a wide variety of fluids up to 10 times faster than existing needle type dispensers, even with abrasive fluids. The new design enables compatibility with a wider range of fluid types and opens the process window to allow a robust jetting solution. DJ-9500 users will benefit from improved fluid control, better repeatability, increased flexibility and a lower cost of ownership.

The DJ-9500 controls fluid break-off at the nozzle tip for clean and consistent dots and line patterns on the substrate. Because the DJ-9500’s hardware lasts longer and offers better fluid control, a lower cost of ownership is achieved. The new long-life needle assembly lasts five to 10 times longer than other tested needle assemblies do. Enhanced temperature controls maintain the fluid at a consistent viscosity for high throughput applications.


New LinkSwitch-II Design Ideas from Power Integrations

Power Integrations has released a series of design ideas to help designers of LED driver circuitry benefit from the recently introduced LinkSwitch-II family of AC-DC power conversion ICs. The new design ideas (DI-184, DI-185 and DI-186) demonstrate that LinkSwitch-II ICs are well suited for power supplies and ballasts driving high-brightness LEDs. The devices’ highly accurate constant-current performance and low external component count enable LED ballasts that are simpler to design, lower-cost and more durable than existing converter technology.

LinkSwitch-II features Power Integrations’ advanced primary-side regulation (PSR) technology, which utilizes a transformer winding to sense the output current rather than relying on lossy, expensive secondary-side components to provide feedback and regulate the output. This cuts system component count by up to 30 percent, resulting in simpler, more reliable and lower-cost designs with active and standby energy-efficiency performance.

Power Integrations’ PSR technology ensures highly accurate performance, maintaining output current within a ±10 percent range even if load voltage drop, magnetic component tolerance and temperature conditions vary during manufacture or operation.  The constant-current drive enabled by LinkSwitch-II ensures that each LED in a series-connected string provides similar light output. This eliminates the current-sharing problem inherent with parallel-connected diodes, and reduces LED binning costs and optical mixing complexity in lighting fixtures.

Unlike many halogen and CFL lights, LED arrays powered by LinkSwitch-II work with traditional AC-based triac dimmers, as well as more modern remote-controlled dimmers. The high standby efficiency of LinkSwitch-II is particularly important with remote dimming; when it is turned off, LinkSwitch-II absorbs 30 mW of standby power while waiting to re-energize the lights.

The newly released design ideas are suitable for applications of LED lighting less than 5.5 W, such as replacement bulbs for halogen installations, refrigerator interior illumination, landscaping and smaller residential lighting fixtures. DI-184 illustrates a circuit for driving 700 mA of current through strings of two series-connected high brightness white LEDs. The DC side circuit is electrically isolated from the AC side for safety. DI-185 and DI-186 both drive 350 mA of current through strings of three high brightness white LEDs. The former design utilizes an isolated flyback topology; the later features a novel, non-isolated, tapped buck topology that reduces system cost and complexity. Each design includes appropriate EMI suppression components and operates at universal input voltage levels.

“By using LinkSwitch-II, lighting designers are benefiting from a power supply solution that matches the LED’s efficiency, longevity and safety,” said Doug Bailey, vice president of marketing at Power Integrations. “The elimination of lossy secondary-side circuitry enabled by primary-side regulation, in combination with our EcoSmart energy-efficiency technology, results in a highly efficient and cost-effective offline LED driver.”

“LinkSwitch-II has integrated safety features which ensure that the power supply shuts down if the feedback loop is broken due to external component failure,” said Bailey. “The device also monitors its own temperature and shuts itself down to prevent the luminary from overheating in fault conditions or due to poor fixture installation, adding a layer of safety for system designers and end users. LinkSwitch-II also lives up to Power Integrations' reputation for reliability and the 700 V MOSFET inside the LinkSwitch-II provides an increased level of protection against line surges that can cause traditional bulbs to fail.”

All LinkSwitch-II family members are produced in halogen-free, RoHS-compliant packaging.


Future Lighting Solutions Releases LED Reliability Tool

Enables lighting engineers to make design tradeoffs between performance and lifetime.

Future Lighting Solutions has released the LED Reliability Tool (LRT), the first interactive online tool that enables lighting designers to truly predict the lifetime of LEDs in their application as a function of junction temperature and current. All the results from the LRT have a 90 percent confidence interval, which allows users to accurately make design tradeoff decisions such as increasing drive current or decreasing the size of the thermal management solution while reaching a target LED lifetime.

“As new standards are implemented around the world for solid-state lighting solutions, understanding the behavior of the LEDs over time in a wide range of environments will be critical. LED datasheets generally only provide a single forward current or a single junction temperature data point when publishing lifetime information,” said Patrick Durand, Worldwide Applications manager for Future Lighting Solutions. “The LRT gives designers the flexibility to select from a wide range of LED currents, junction temperatures and target lifetimes to instantly evaluate the impact of modifying these variables on the reliability of the lighting system.”

The LRT can be used in combination with the existing Usable Light Tool (ULT). By leveraging both online systems, designers can maximize light output of the LED system while reaching both luminous efficacy and lifetime targets.
The LRT is available for free at www.futurelightingsolutions.com/LRT, where visitors can use their existing Usable Light Tool (www.futurelightingsolutions.com/ULT) accounts or register to access the tool.


Current Is the Driving Force

Constant current is required to drive LEDs reliably. Lighting manufacturers are very often experts in light sources but have little experience with electronic components. To bridge this gap, Recom offers a complete solution with the RCD-24-x.xx series.

This family offers current outputs of 300, 350, 500, 600 and 700 mA, which can also be adjusted using the analog dim-function. Simultaneously, the PWM –dim-function that operates at a frequency range of 20 to 200 Hz and the proving linear dimming can also be adjusted from 0 to 100 percent. The buck converters feature an input range of 4.5 to 36 volts. There is also a standby function for battery operated applications. The rated accuracy of the output current is ±2 percent and variations due to the input voltage range are ±1 percent.

The housing measures 22.1 by 12.6 by 8.5 mm and is made of UL94-V0 material. The drivers are available with either 6 pins or with four 100-mm long leads. Depending on volume requirements, it is also possible to provide customer specific versions. Operating temperature range is from -40 to 71°C (700 mA) or 85°C (350 mA) without derating.

The MTBF of the 700 mA version (worst case) is of 516,000 hours at an environmental temperature of 71°C. EMC-compatibility with EN 55022 Class B is provided by the addition of two components. By using another 4 ceramic capacitors, the drivers are compatible with EN 61000 -4-2, -3, -4 and -6.

The RCD-24-x.xx series LED-drivers are ready for use and provide a complete solution where the user does not need to deal with the compatibility problems of specific standards. Time-to-market is reduced to a bare minimum when compared with traditional IC solutions.

Pricing for the RCD-24-0.35 OEM quantities start at $6.65 at 1,000 pieces.

Anchorage Joins LED City Initiative to Improve Light Quality and Reduce Energy Costs

Municipality appropriates $2.2 Million for first phase installation of LED roadway lights

Cree, Inc. and the Municipality of Anchorage have announced Anchorage’s participation in the LED City program, an international program that promotes the deployment of energy-efficient LED lighting.

Anchorage Mayor Mark Begich announced his city’s participation in conjunction with an energy-related initiative calling for the retrofit of all 16,000 municipal roadway lights with high-efficiency LED fixtures.

“I am pleased to announce the appropriation of $2.2 million to enable the city to purchase LED fixtures to change out roughly one-quarter of Anchorage’s streetlights,” said Mayor Begich. “We have studied new lighting technology extensively over the past several months to validate energy and maintenance cost savings. We also conducted a lighting conference and public survey in March of this year that showed our residents overwhelmingly approve of the new white LED lighting. With this feedback and quantified costs savings research in hand, we are confident in moving ahead with the broad deployment of LED lighting for our roadways.”

“Lighting is absolutely critical to daily life in Anchorage. The continental US has more than eight hours of daylight per day. Here in Anchorage, approximately 85 days a year see less than eight hours of daylight. It is significant that this community is at the forefront of adopting energy-efficient lighting,” said Deb Lovig, Cree LED City program manager. “Cree and the other LED Cities welcome Anchorage into the program and look forward to learning from this large-scale installation as the city pushes forward for energy and maintenance savings with LED lighting.”

Universal Display Corp. Awarded $1.9 Million US Department of Energy Contract to Accelerate

Development of White OLED Lighting Products Universal Display Corp. has received a $1,918,878, two-year US Department of Energy (DOE) contract to develop a ceiling-based white OLED lighting system. Universal Display plans to use Armstrong World Industries as a key subcontractor to fulfill the requirements of the grant. Funded through the US DOE Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy, this Solid-State Lighting (SSL) Program award supports the DOE’s long-term commitment to advance the development and market introduction of energy-efficient, solid-state white light sources for general illumination.

During this SSL Product Development Project, Universal Display and its subcontractor, Armstrong, will develop and deliver an integrated ceiling illumination system that is targeted to exceed the DOE’s 2010 performance goals. The white OLED lighting panels will be designed and fabricated by Universal Display using its high-efficiency phosphorescent OLED technology. Armstrong will then integrate the panels into its innovative TechZone open-architecture ceiling system. In addition, the team will deliver a white OLED lighting panel fabricated on a thin metallic foil substrate using Universal Display’s UniversalPHOLED and other OLED technologies, to demonstrate the commercial product potential of white OLEDs with a flexible form factor.

“A tremendous opportunity exists for white OLED lighting products, based on their potential energy efficiency and environmental advantages as compared to existing products,” said Steven V. Abramson, president and CEO of Universal Display. “Through its Solid State Lighting program, the US Department of Energy has been a very strong proponent of white OLED lighting, and it has been instrumental in helping to drive the performance of this technology to where it is today. With white OLED performance rapidly approaching commercial targets, we are delighted to be collaborating with Armstrong World Industries, a leading developer and manufacturer of innovative building systems, to develop and demonstrate a novel product concept using white OLEDs. Together, our goal is to make energy-efficient, environmentally-friendly, and economical white OLED lighting a commercial reality.”

“Armstrong is pleased to be able to support the kind of leading edge effort in energy efficiency and environmental sustainability represented by Universal Display’s solid-state OLED lighting research program,” said Stephen J. Senkowski, executive vice president of Armstrong World Industries and CEO of its Building Products Division. “The ability to couple ground-breaking developments in the field of lighting with the proven benefits of commercially accepted building systems like TechZone is a key goal of this DOE supported project.”

Through the use of its UniversalPHOLED phosphorescent OLED technology, Universal Display recently announced a major research milestone for white OLEDs of 102 lm/W. Compared to incandescent bulbs with less than 15 lm/W and fluorescent lamps typically from 60 to 90 lm/W, this research result is a significant advance toward achievement of the full set of performance requirements for commercial products.

Power-efficient white OLEDs may reduce energy consumption dramatically and lower the amount of by-product heat, further reducing energy and environmental burdens. White OLEDs are also environmentally benign, especially compared to mercury-containing fluorescent lamps and newer compact fluorescent lamps (CFLs). Combining these important ‘green’ features with a very thin, lightweight and durable form factor, white OLEDs offer significant new lighting design opportunities, such as the one envisioned in this Armstrong ceiling system concept.
