Second generation, 10W LED arrays feature luminous flux of up to 900lm and colour rendering index of 82
EDN Europe, 20 Jan 2012
The second generation of the 10W Mini Zeni LED arrays from Sharp are suitable for lamps, lighting fixtures, spot lighting and LED retrofit lamps. The LED arrays measure 15x12x1.6mm, along with an aluminium ceramic plate as carrier material. The flat surface of the ceramic plate and the soldering points already in place make it possible to attach the modules to a suitable heat sink, without much effort or additional connecting material, claims the company. Depending on the module, the LED arrays offer a light output of up to 900lm, luminous efficacy of up to 106lm/W in standard operation, and colour rendering index value of 82. They operate at temperatures of up to 90°C. The LED arrays feature a forward voltage of 17.7V and a forward current of 480mA. They can also be operated using a current of up to 800mA, whereby values of up to 1300lm can be reached, claims the company. With the shades natural white, warm white, and pure white, the colour temperatures of the white light LED arrays are in the range of 3000 to 5000K.
