Drivers power up brighter LED light engines

2008-05-20 16: 47

Units are IP54 certified and UL1310 Class 2 recognised, and so are suitable for outdoor and other locations where they may be exposed to moisture.


A new range of high-power LED drivers from Marl Optosource are designed to power the Lamina TitanTurbo, billed as one of the world's brightest LED light engines

LED light engines can now match the luminosity of a 100W tungsten lamp - but this new generation of products imposes a much heavier load on the drive electronics.

Marl has therefore introduced a new solution capable of driving an LED drawing 5A at 12V DC, and able to withstand an input inrush current of up to 40A.

The units are IP54 certified and UL1310 Class 2 recognised, and are thus equally suitable for outdoor and other locations where they may be exposed to moisture, as for more benign indoor environments.

The drivers are the ideal complement to the new Lamina TitanTurbo, distributed in the UK by Marl Optosource.

These are the first LED lights to match a 100W tungsten lamp, and are designed to replace the popular R-20 floodlights.

Marl offers two models of TitanTurbo - a 3000K "warm white" version equal in light output to a 75W halogen PAR-30 or a 100W R-20 floodlight; and a 470 K "daylight white" (cool) model, which is twice as bright.

Delivering more than 2000 lumen in daylight white and more than 1000 lumen in warm white light, TitanTurbo LED light engines offer unsurpassed performance for all general lighting applications.

The TitanTurbo Warm White has an enhanced red and orange colour spectrum that makes it ideal as a halogen or incandescent replacement.

Marl Optosource complements its range of Lamina high power LEDs with a comprehensive range of accessories. In addition to the drive electronics, Marl Optosource offers lenses to enhance optical performance, heatsinks to maximise service life and compatible interconnect solutions.
