Forge Europa has utilised its extensive experience in the application of LEDs and has recently developed a number of standard stock LED assemblies using XLamp® PowerLEDs from pioneering American LED manufacturer CREE Lighting®.
These stock assemblies are known as aLEDs®. These aLEDs consist of high power LEDs mounted onto a thermally optimised PCB substrate complete with a connector or solder pads.
Various aLED® assemblies have been created in strip, round cluster, tile and hexagonal format to suit many illumination applications. Some aLED® assemblies come complete with on-board drive electronics for simple DC voltage input.
The use of high power LEDs demands a more rigorous design and manufacturing approach than conventional through hole devices. It has been important to consider the thermal design to guarantee long term reliability and ensure that the LED is not operating above its maximum junction temperature. The aLED® range has been designed to achieve optimum thermal performance which results in maximum light output.
Through the Visible Solutions division of Forge Europa, it is possible to offer custom designed versions of the aLED® product range as well as a comprehensive design and assembly service from prototypes through to volume production.
