New Compact Light Engines from American Bright

American Bright Optoelectronics announced September 10, 2008, the introduction of two new compact light engine modules featuring its new direct die attachment (DDA) technology and integrated thermal management architecture that increases service life, luminous output and overall luminary efficiency.

The two new light engines are available with a power rating of 10 or 20W.
The 10W light engine has a nominal diameter under 24 mm and the 20W light engine measures only 33mm across its widest section.
The DDA technology allows for the placement of the LED die directly into cavities contained within the thermal interface. The die is glued down within the cavities, wire bonded, phosphor-treated and then encapsulated, all within the module. This construction technique eliminates secondary soldering of the LED to a metal core printed circuit board (MCPCB).

The 10W light engine will typically produce 550 lumens, creating a luminous efficacy of 55 lm/W) in the warm white (3000K CCT) color bins.
The 20W light engine will produce 1100 lumens in the same warm white color bin at the same 960mA. The light engines’ operating temperature range is from from -20°C to +60°C

American Bright Optoelectronics is a subsidiary of Taiwan-based Bright LED Electronics Corporation.
