LEDs Illuminate Outdoor Apps
28-APR-04

Intended for use in outdoor lighting fixtures, the GDL001 GardenLED Series LED-based lamps are a direct replacement for LV526 wedge-based T5 incandescent lamps.

The 1.3-W lamps use 16 white 5-mm LEDs in a linear arrangement, with eight LEDs on each side of a double-sided PC board. (From $29—stock to 6 weeks ARO.)

Solid-state design renders LEDs impervious to electrical and mechanical shocks, vibrations, frequent switchings and environmental extremes. Lamps perform well in applications subjected to voltage dips or surges. Integrated current-limited resistors and polarity-protection diodes assure that no circuit modifications are required. Additionally. with the use of multiple LEDs, an LED cluster lamp continues to provide light even if one or more emitters fail unlike when the filament breaks in an incandescent bulb.

With an average life span of 100,000-plus hours (11 years), LED lamps operate reliably year-after-year making them ideal lights for decorative and night task lighting and applications such as large message panels, billboards, scoreboards, time and temperature signs, arcade machines, casino accent lights, theme LEDs Change the Landscape of Outdoor Lighting and amusement parks, stage lights, carnivals, theaters, elevators, aviation instruments, automotive cabin lights, railroads, bridges, display counters and ornamental lighting tasks. LEDs can be used as individual pixels in large dot matrix screens, full-color screens, animated signs and displays. LED lamps use only 10% - 20% of the energy consumed by equivalent incandescent lamps that when combined with their maintenance-free operation results in substantial cost savings.

Founded in 1983, LEDtronics® leads where others only follow when it comes to designing, manufacturing and packaging state-of-the-art LEDs to meet the world's constantly changing lighting needs. Our inventive product line encompasses an array of direct incandescent lamp replacement Based LEDs, low-cost snap-in and relampable Panel Mount LEDs, high intensity sunlight-visible Discrete LEDs, PCB LEDs circuit board status indicators, surface mount diodes SMT LEDs, full-spectrum rainbow RGB LEDs and Infra-Red (IR) LEDs.

Prices for GardenLED Series GDL001 LED Bulbs begin at $29.95, depending on quantity and color. Availability is stock to 4 - 6 weeks for special requirements. .
