Osram’s white Advanced Power TOPLED Plus boosts brightness by 15%

Osram Opto Semiconductors GmbH of Regensburg, Germany has launched a new optimized LED called Advanced Power TOPLED Plus, designed in particular for architectural and sales lighting applications that call for bright light but offer very small space (e.g. for highlighting edges and contours or illuminating surfaces in a uniform light).

The new LED combines a high luminous flux of up to 27lm (100mA/5700K) with luminous efficacy of up to 90lm/W. As well as being on average 15% brighter than the standard version, it is also available in different white tones from 2700K to 6500K. So, tones from warm white to cold white can be achieved, and all the requirements from linear lighting applications to strip lighting and surface illumination can be met. 

The LED suits illuminating the facades and outlines of buildings, as well as applications in retail outlets (e.g. freezer cases). It combines high brightness with low power consumption and small dimensions (enabling light to be mixed in the smallest of spaces). The high-intensity LED has a typical beam angle of 140° and a homogenous white color from every viewing angle, the firm claims. A large number of small LEDs produce a more homogenous light on a surface than a few large LEDs. Designers are therefore free to create new lighting solutions, says Osram Opto.

The Advanced Power TOPLED Plus comes a robust package and is specified for a connected load of up to 0.5W. Heat is efficiently dissipated via gull-wing connections to the lead frame and the printed-circuit board, so there is no need for expensive thermal management. From this summer, the LED will be the latest addition to Osram’s LED portfolio, which includes LEDs with outputs of 0.25-18W.
