Seoul Semiconductor launches Acrich3 LED modules
South Korean LED maker Seoul Semiconductor has announced the availability of Acrich3 modules for a wide range of residential and commercial lighting applications.
The firm says that Acrich3 enables the next generation of smart-lighting systems with the ability to interface through a wide variety of wireless networks and sensors. The technology does not require a complex AC/DC converter and can be operated directly from the AC mains, which simplifies designs, reduces component count and improves the reliability of the luminaire. It also incorporates an analog dimming input and increased compatibility with existing TRIAC dimmers with the ability to do uniform dimming, giving lighting designers an easy-to-implement advanced lighting solution, says the firm.
The Acrich3 modules incorporate Seoul Semiconductor's proven high-voltage LED architecture with the Acrich MJT series of LEDs. The modules are available in different lumen outputs and form factors to address a wide range of lighting applications from downlights to street and area lighting. Available in color temperatures of 2700-6500K with color rendering index (CRI) options of 70, 80 and 90, the modules offer typical efficiencies of up to 100lm/W with low total harmonic distortion (THD) and high power factor.
"The new Acrich3 modules from Seoul Semiconductor offer a complete solution for smart lighting systems with the Acrich3 IC and MJT LEDs," says Kibum Nam, VP of product development. "First launched in 2005, the Acrich technology has provided innovative solutions worldwide to a wide range of applications in the commercial, residential and industrial lighting environments," he adds.
