Flip Chip Opto launches first high-power horticultural flip-chip COB LED
LED lighting technology firm Flip Chip Opto Inc of Fremont, CA, USA has launched what is claimed to be a first-in-class 2400W high-power horticultural flip-chip COB, as part of its new Duet series, geared towards the grow light industry. The Duet 2400 is based on the firm's patented 3-pad Pillar Metal Core Printed Circuit Board (P-MCPCB) technology, which allows a reduction in junction temperature to 0.003˚C/W on Duet 2400 at a maximum power of 2433W.
The Duet series represents Flip Chip Opto's horticultural solution to the flip-chip COB market. Duet 2400 features four independent illuminating sections with customizable light spectrums; the standard product line will run a peak of 450nm of royal blue, and 660nm of broadband red. The two different light spectrums complement the peak absorption rates of chlorophyll in most plant organisms. The Duet series also allows the substitution of other light spectrums for applications with plant organisms that do not absorb 450nm or 660nm spectrums.
The firm claims that, due to its thermal properties, the Duet 2400 allows designers to reduce the form factor of their cooling solutions while maximizing output, making it suitable for extreme applications such as greenhouses, commercial grow facilities, indoor farming, supplemental tree lighting, and other applications that require high-powered, energy-efficient LED grow lighting.
Flip Chip Opto is showcasing its entire product line in booth 554 at ELA Expo Lighting America in Mexico City (24–26 February) and in booth D70 at the Light + Building 2016 trade fair in Frankfurt, Germany (12–18 March).
