Bright Light from a Small Surface

Advanced Power TOPLED Plus is the new optimized LED from OSRAM Opto Semiconductors which has been designed particularly for architectural and sales lighting. It combines impressive brightness with high luminous efficacy of up to 90 lm/W and comes in a robust package.

It is the light source of choice for all applications that call for bright light but offer very small space – for example for highlighting edges and contours or for illuminating surfaces in a uniform light.

The new Advanced Power TOPLED Plus has a luminous flux of up to 27 lm (100 mA / 5700K). Not only is it on average 15% brighter than the standard version it is also available in different white tones from 2700 to 6500 K. This means that different white light colors from warm white to cold white can be achieved and all the requirements from linear lighting applications to strip lighting and surface illumination can be met.
   
The LED is ideal for illuminating the facades and outlines of buildings, and is perfect also for applications in retail outlets, for example in freezer cases. It combines remarkable brightness with low power consumption and small dimensions. This small high-intensity LED has a typical beam angle of 140° and a homogenous white color from every viewing angle. Its small dimensions enable light to be mixed in the smallest of spaces. A large number of small LEDs produce a more homogenous light on a surface than a few large LEDs. Designers are therefore free to create new lighting solutions, limited only by their imagination.
 
The Advanced Power TOPLED Plus is specified for a connected load of up to 0.5 W. Heat is efficiently dissipated via gull-wing connections to the lead frame and the pc board, so there is no need for expensive thermal management. From this summer, the LED will be the latest addition to OSRAM’s extensive LED portfolio which includes LEDs with outputs from 0.25 to 18 W.
