High lumen output LEDs focus on outdoor lighting

May 29, 2014 // Paul Buckley

Seoul Semiconductor has released a new generation of Acrich MJT 5050 LEDs, with high lumen output, reliability, and cost performance optimized for the outdoor lighting market.

The Acrich series has dimensions of 5.0 mm x 5.0 mm delivering a typical luminous flux of 180 lumens at 20 mA, 64 V, 25 C, 5000 K and can be driven to a maximum current of 60 mA delivering up to 440 lm.

The Acrich series delivers an unprecedented combination of high lumen output, efficacy, outstanding reliability and lm/$ all in one package. The high performance package results in designs fewer LEDs are used, which leads to smaller and lighter fixtures enabling cost savings on a system level. The Acrich series delivers high performance without sacrificing on reliability or cost. The device is an ideal LED for the outdoor lighting market high efficacy and lifetime are critical.

Utilizing Seoul Semiconductor's proven and reliable high voltage architecture, Acrich MJT 'Multi-Junction chip Technology', the Acrich LED eliminates the tradeoff between size and efficacy. Designers can take advantage of the high efficiency of high-voltage DC drivers or eliminate the driver by driving the LEDs directly of AC using the Acrich IC.

The TCO (Total Cost of Ownership) is an important metric for the street and area lighting market and Seoul claims the payback period especially for streetlights can be reduced with Acrich LED without compromising on reliability or efficiency.
