Eco Factor: Full color, energy-efficient LED lighting system.
Taiwan-based Everlight Electronics has announced the availability of the EHP-B02 3 in 1 Full Color LED in a new surface mount (SMT) package. The EHP-B02 combines the benefits of high power and high efficiency, and each LED has sufficient brightness to replace a lighting fixture consisting of neon lights, CCFL and LED arrays. For LED users, EHP-B02 offers small-size package, high luminous flux and dominant wavelengths.
The EHP-B02 is designed for entertainment and decorative illumination applications that require a small surface mount package. The Everlight EHP-B02 LED consists of three chips mounted onto an aluminum-cored printed circuit board. It produces three watts of power with typical light flux output of 35lm (green color), 25lm (red color) and 8lm (blue) at 350mA. The EHP-B02 is a RoHS-compliant component and meets green environmental initiatives. With its 130° typical viewing angle and low thermal resistance, the EHP-B02 is ideally suited for a variety of applications, including decorative, entertainment, architectural lighting, TFT LCD display backlight, signal and symbol luminaries for orientation marker lights and exterior and interior automotive illumination.
The Dark Side:
The only drawback stopping LEDs from phasing out conventional CFLs and incandescent bulbs is the high cost of the technology. Adding colors will only increase the cost and hence make it even more unaffordable.
