Luminous flux for both the OPA775 and OPA776 backlighting devices is 50 lumens per strip, with a drive current to each led high bay light. Optek crimps the buss wires at manufacturing and spaces the LED strips at 6-inch intervals.The company’s recent acquisition of established Hampshire-based Aztec Circuits has helped to strengthen Spirits’ position and will ensure the business continues to hold its own as a UK PCB supplier.  This means that Spirit can now offer metal backed PCBs which utilise thermal management technology suitable for new emerging markets particularly in LED technology and Power applications.

Spirit offers a range of service innovations which will save time, assist with R&D and help their businesses flourish.  The company will be promoting all their services including ‘Go Naked’ at the forthcoming euroLED exhibition.Managing Director Steve Driver explains the service, “ ‘Go Naked ‘ enables customers to order free prototype boards made using only tracks and holes, which not only avoids the unnecessary expense of soldermasks, component idents and gold plating, but also simplifies the development process for the customer.The LED market continues to grow as more customers are taking advantage of the cost-saving and environmental benefits of using this type of technology, enabling us to grow our customer base globally.

Korean display giant Samsung has been actively promoting LED-backlit models this year, planning to push sales of such models to an estimated 2 million units, accounting for 10% of its total LCD TV shipment projection for the year, which means around 2 billion LED chips will be needed by the brand this year alone to reach these targets.The Solid-State Lighting Quality Advocates label is sponsored by the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) and endorsed by major retailers including The Home Depot and W.W. Grainger. The SSL program showcases LED luminaire manufacturers who commit to testing products and reporting performance results according to industry standards.
