Avago Technologies Introduces Industry's First "Plug and Play" High-Power RGB LED Lighting Modules.24-Watt LED Modules Are Complete and Ready To Install, Providing White or Colored Light For Decorative, Architectural or Task Lighting SAN JOSE San Jose, city, United States San Jose (sănəzā`, săn hōzā`), city (1990 pop. 782,248), seat of Santa Clara co., W central Calif.; founded 1777, inc. 1850. , Calif. -- Avago Technologies Avago Technologies is an American company which was earlier the semiconductor products division of HP and later Agilent Technologies, before being spun off into a distinct legal entity. It holds more than 2,000 patents. , the world's largest privately held semiconductor company, today introduced a pair of high-performance, 24-watt red, green and blue (RGB (Red Green Blue) The computer's native color space, which is the color system for capturing and displaying images. RGB was derived from our own perception of color because human eyes are sensitive to red, green and blue (see trichromaticity). ) light-emitting diode (LED) modules for a wide range of decorative, architectural and specialty lighting applications. These new high-power LED modules, which are the first in the industry to provide up to 480 lumens of light output, target customers who want an easy to use lighting solution that has the ability to display a variety of colors. Avago's ADJD-MJ50 (emitting light from the top) and ADJD-MJ60 (emitting light from the side) LED modules are compact and can be stacked vertically or horizontally to produce any required light output. They are an excellent choice for designers of interior and exterior architectural lighting, such as cove lighting Cove lighting is a form of indirect lighting built into ledges, recesses, or valences in a ceiling or high on the walls of a room. It may be used as primary lighting, or for aesthetic accent. , wall-washing, down lighting and exterior facade lighting. These RGB LED modules are also an ideal light source for use with the Avago's patented color management solution because they allow the end user to set and maintain a consistent color point throughout the life of the lighting device. Moreover, these LED modules provide a new degree of performance and flexibility for specialty applications such as mood lighting, task lighting and track lights. The combination of brightness and reliability makes the LED modules an extremely flexible solution for backlighting back·light n. A type of spotlight, used in photography, that illuminates a subject from behind. tr.v. back·light·ed or back·lit , back·light·ing, back·lights advertising and other signs. Lighting fixture designers, sign manufacturers and architects are increasingly turning to the combination of performance, safe low-voltage wiring, and remarkable longevity provided by solid-state lighting Solid state lighting (SSL) refers to a type of lighting that utilizes light-emitting diodes (LEDs), organic light-emitting diodes (OLED), or polymer light-emitting diodes (PLED) as sources of illumination rather than electrical filaments or gas. . These applications require the combination of high light output and the efficient dissipation of heat generated by the LED light sources. Avago's new RGB LED modules have been optimized for a wide variety of lighting and illumination applications, are price competitive, and highly reliable. Today's RGB LED lighting assemblies often combine a number of separate high-power LEDs assembled and wired by the lighting fixture manufacturer. Avago's solution is a ready-to-use integrated solid-state light source enclosed in a compact, easy-to-mount metal case equipped with an integrated power connector A power connector is an electrical connector designed to carry a significant amount of electrical power, usually as DC or low-frequency AC. Some types of RF connector may also carry large amounts of power, but are considered as a separate category. designed to easily interface with a heat sink A material that absorbs heat. Typically made of aluminum, heat sinks are widely used in amplifiers and other electronic devices that build up heat. Small heat sinks are the most economical method for cooling microprocessors and other chips. . This greatly simplifies the manufacture of lighting fixtures, and help to reduce production time and cost by eliminating the need for a second level assembly process and investment in expensive assembly equipment. Features Avago's ADJD-MJ50 and ADJD-MJ60 are rated for up to 480 lumens of continuous light output when all of the red, blue and green emitters are driven with their rated current at 100-percent duty cycle (approximately 310 lumens when adjusted for white output with 9000 K color temperature The measurement of color expressed in Kelvin (K). The reason this measurement is called a "temperature" is because it was derived from a theoretical object called a "black body radiator." When the radiator is heated, it changes from black to red to yellow to white to blue. ). The built-in heat sink (thermal resistance between the LED junctions and case bottom is only 2 degree C/W C/W Clockwise C/W Consistent With C/W Compatible With C/W Coupled With C/W Complete With C/W Come With C/W Complied With C/W Course Work C/W Counterweight C/W Chilled Water C/W Carrier Wave C/W Caution/Warning ) and mechanical mounting features provide efficient heat transfer from the LEDs to the lighting fixture. This allows the LEDs to operate at high drive currents (up to 750 mA total) while minimizing junction temperatures, and simplifies thermal management of a lighting fixture design. The LED chips are silicone-encapsulated for extra long life, and the chips are mounted in a reflector reflector: see telescope. cavity providing a smooth elliptical el·lip·tic or el·lip·ti·cal adj. 1.

The combination of optimized optical design with closely-spaced emitters maximizes light extraction for highest efficiency and pre-mixes the light from the red, green and blue chips to produce uniform color throughout the radiation pattern. This feature eliminates the need for the designer to provide additional light mixing optics.
