Yuji LED Introduces World’s Highest Lumen Density COB Series

After years of research and development, Yuji LED proudly presents their high CRI high reliability COB with the world’s highest lumen density: A chip on board (COB) light source has a small emitting surface (LES) and large luminous flux, thus it is usually used in directional lighting fixtures, and is always the best choice for minimizing the fixture’s size. This means, however, that more heat will be generated, the luminous efficiency will be largely compromised, and that it may lead to the failure of the COB. Hence, when designing a COB, it is always the key point to improve the luminous flux and the reliability while controlling the LES. Based on this principle, YUJILEDS High Lumen Density High CRI COB Series was developed. Read more »

BJB SMD Terminal Blocks: The Best Connection for all Requirements

SMD-compatible PCB terminal blocks are increasingly being used for electrical power supply to LED boards. This is because they are easy to handle and provide a permanent, secure connection to the control gear. A decisive factor for light quality is a design which is as flat as possible, which will enable an even light distribution and will avoid unwelcome shadowing. However, there are also technical requirements dictated by the relevant luminaire design. Examples are rear-entry wiring or the use of fine-stranded conductors. In order to cover every conceivable variation, BJB, the global market leader for lighting and luminaire components, has developed a series of three different SMD terminal blocks: SMD Mini, SMD Mini-Flex and the SMD push-through terminal block for rear-entry wiring.
