Emitter Enables Small LED Flashlights

Dubbed the LUXEON Portable PWT1 emitter and claimed as the market’s smallest power LED designed for flashlights and other portable lighting, the emitter generates 26 lumens at 350 mA from a package measuring 2 mm x 1.6 mm x 0.7 mm. The component specifies a 2,000-hour lifespan. Reportedly 75% smaller than other LEDs with similar light output, the component enables manufacturers to build flashlights with smaller optics, smaller form factors, and less weight. Other features include a JEDEC level 1 moisture-sensitivity rating, an 8-kV ESD protection chip, and lead-free, RoHS compliance. PHILIPS LUMILEDS LIGHTING CO., San Jose, CA. (888) 589-3662
