Lumileds tailors LUXEON IR LED family for cost-conscious high-power applications

Lumileds LLC of San Jose, CA, USA has launched the LUXEON IR 2720 Line of high-power infrared LEDs in an industry-standard package for seamless integration in existing designs.

The emitters provide high radiant power of up to 1300mW at 940nm or 1250mW at 850nm wavelength and feature high efficacy and a popular 120° beam angle. The 2.75mm x 2.0mm LEDs are undomed and especially useful for applications with package height limitations that prevent the use of domed solutions. The emitters address a wide array of cost conscious infrared applications, from surveillance and machine vision to iris scanning and health monitors.

“Infrared LED uses such as CCTV cameras and machine vision are especially cost-sensitive markets, so high-performance emitters with high reliability are very much in demand,” says product manager Ryan Dong. The LUXEON IR 2720 package enables drop-in upgrades in applications that require high punch, long range and high uniformity including positioning and depth measurement, and industrial automation.

The 4°C/W thermal resistance package effectively solves thermal challenges and ensures system reliability that has been thoroughly tested during Lumileds’ qualification process, says the firm.

The LUXEON IR 2720 Line of 940nm emitters addresses applications such as biometric identification, military and law enforcement, and traffic and railroad signaling applications. The 850nm emitters are workhorses for machine-vision cameras and CCTV cameras.
