Bridgelux has developed Micro SM4 LED component to cater for the requirements of the $1 billion 20-40W lamp replacement market.
According to the company,the Micro SM4 dramatically reduces the component count, cost, complexity and size of the lighting system, enabling a cost-effective, high performance LED solution for diffuse and directional lighting, such as 20-40 watt incandescent, 20-35 watt halogen, B10-style (candelabra), and low wattage compact fluorescent lamp replacements.
Using only 4.6 watts of power, the Bridgelux Micro SM4 will deliver between 330 and 520 lumens in both warm white (2700K and 3000K) and cool white (5600K) color temperatures. Minimum 80 and 90 CRI options, with 3-step MacAdams Elipse color selections, will be offered for warm white products. Production shipments of the Micro SM4 will be available in the first quarter of 2012.
The new Micro SM4 features the latest technical advancements in epitaxial GaN layer growth, LED chip design and packaging technologies. These products are configured to align with industry standard drive currents to simplify the electronic driver selection process for new lamp and luminaire product development, and are offered in both 6V and 12V design configurations to enable driver design flexibility. As with all Bridgelux light sources, the Micro SM4 is offered with a five year warranty.
Bridgelux is to show its latest products at the Hong Kong International Lighting Fair, October 27-30.
