Philips Lumileds High Voltage Mid-Power LEDs Simplify Compact Fixture Design
Philips Lumileds High Voltage Mid-Power LEDs Simplify Compact Fixture Design Today Philips Lumileds launched a mid-power LED, the LUXEON 3535 HV, which allows lighting manufacturers to design in high voltage drivers that are diminutive in size compared to standard drivers, enabling simplified design and lower total cost of the overall lighting solution. The company’s high voltage mid-power portfolio is available in industry leading 24 V and 48 V parts. “The advantage of designing in high voltage LEDs is that they utilize drivers containing on average less than 20 components, relative to standard LED drivers that can contain up to 50 components. As a result, the total BOM cost can be reduced and the amount of inventory they need to carry to design the driver is minimized,” said Michael Howley, Product Manager at Philips Lumileds. Read more »
