LUMEX NARROW BEAM LED’s

Lumex announces QuasarBrite Narrow Beam SMD LEDs for tight beam of high-intensity red, green or blue light.  Compared to traditional SMD LEDs, these Narrow Beam SMD LEDs allow for a 93% reduction in beam angle. This is ideal for applications that need concentrated, high-intensity light.

Whereas traditional SMD LEDs offered a light beam of 45 to 85 degrees, QuasarBrite Narrow Beam SMD LEDs provide a light beam of 6 to 10 degrees – up to a 93% reduction in beam angle.”

With QuasarBrite Narrow Beam SMT LEDs, the LED is mounted upside down and shines directly into an internal parabolic reflector providing high-intensity brightness in a narrow beam of light without the need for external optics. As such, QuasarBrite Narrow Beam SMD LEDs can provide a 50% cost savings and 50% real estate savings when compared to traditional SMD LEDs that rely on external optics to achieve a tight beam of light.

The internal parabolic reflector also collimates the light into a beam, allowing high-intensity light to be produced by a standard LED with standard energy consumption of 75mW or less. A typical SMD may have a brightness of 1cd with a view angle of 45 degrees.  QuasarBrite Narrow Beam SMD LEDs provide an intensity up to 100cd at a view angle of 6 degrees.

The RoHs compliant QuasarBrite Narrow Beam SMD LEDs are available in the following sizes:

• 6mm (provides beam angles of 14 to 24 degrees)
• 8mm (provides beam angle of 14 to 18 degrees)
