Product Brief
QuasarBrite narrow beam LEDs provide decrease in light angle
June 2009
Lumex announces the global launch of their QuasarBrite Narrow Beam SMT
LEDs providing users with a tight beam of high-intensity red, green or
blue light. Compared to traditional SMT LEDs, these Narrow Beam SMT
LEDs allow for a 93% reduction in beam angle, making the technology
suitable for medical device, security, sensor and visible lighting
applications that require concentrated, high-intensity light.
With QuasarBrite Narrow Beam SMT LEDs, the LED is mounted upside down and shines directly into an internal parabolic reflector providing high-intensity brightness in a narrow beam of light without the need for external optics.
The internal parabolic reflector also collimates the light into a beam, allowing high-intensity light to be produced by a standard LED with standard energy consumption of 75mW or less. A typical SMT may have a brightness of 1cd with a view angle of +/-45 degrees. QuasarBrite Narrow Beam SMT LEDs provide an intensity up to 100cd at a view angle of +/-6 degrees.
The RoHs compliant QuasarBrite Narrow Beam SMT LEDs are available in the following sizes:
Samples of these devices are available from stock, with custom production quantities in 8-10 weeks and standard production quantities in 8-10 weeks. Pricing is dependent on quantity ordered, and is approximately $1.70 to $7.20 per unit in production quantities dependent on size, color and quantity ordered.
