Seoul Semi expands its mid- power LED family
The addition of the 3020 series will provide a smaller footprint with higher light density
Seoul Semiconductor says its new series of mid-power LEDs feature advanced packaging techniques.
The group of LEDs have a high-lumen output and improved thermal efficiencies and the new 3020 series are claimed to offer a solution for general illumination applications requiring distributed light such as replacement lamps and linear strip lighting.
The 3020 family will be offered in the full range of ANSI white space with standard binning and LM- 80 testing. The entire family is general illumination class and comes with Colouring Rendering Index (CRI) versions of 80 or 90 minimum and with efficacies as high as 151 lm/watt (cool white) and 136 lm/watt (warm white).
Following in the footsteps of the highly popular 5630 package, this product is particularly suited for small fixtures and omni-directional bulbs which demand the high efficacies and light densities of a small, mid-power LED solution. This new 3020 series can also be used for fluorescent replaement tubes and linear strip products as well as panel and ceiling tile lighting.
The product will be available for sampling from Seoul’s three distributors, Avnet Electronics Marketing, Digi-Key Corporation and Mouser Electronics in Q2 2012 and available for mass production shortly thereafter.
SETi honoured with Tibbetts Award at the White House
The aluminium gallium nitride UV LED innovator has been awarded for its role in research and development for the U.S. government under the SBIR program

Gaska and Shur founded SETi in 1999 to develop III-nitride based electronic and optoelectronic devices. Under DARPA and SBIR funded programs SETi developed proprietary technology that led to the development of Ultraviolet (UV) LEDs with peak emission wavelengths ranging from 230nm through 365nm.
SETi has over 100 patents covering materials, devices and applications in UV LED technology, many of which were the result of US government backed development under SBIR funding.
The company continues to further its device technology and develop new applications of UV LEDs through multi-agency programs and recently announced more than 10% efficiency in a 275nm LED thanks to the DARPA/ARL CMUVT program.
The Tibbetts Awards, are named after Roland Tibbetts, who was instrumental in developing the SBIR program. The awards are presented to companies and individuals from all over the United States.
The award was presented by the US Small Business Administrator, Karen Mills, to Remis Gaska and Michael Shur, at a ceremony held at the White House.
