Directional and decorative COB LEDs revealed by Everlight
The Taiwanese firm’s latest nitride based LED series are claimed to offer low thermal resistance and high performance. The C52 Series also can achieve the low cost of industry target of over 400lm/$ for a COB LED light source.
Everlight is marketing its 6.4W and 8W Chip-on- Board (COB) LED series, which it claims is one of the highest CRI and highest efficiency COBs on the market.
The brand new and smaller C52 COB LED series is suited for directional and decorative applications such as MR lamps and P35 bulbs.
Mechanically, the C52 COB series can be mounted directly on heat sink eliminating the SMT process. This provides more direct thermal dissipation, ease of assembly, and lowering of the system cost in lighting applications.
Everlight’s C52 Series is using the standard DC chips configured in series and parallel to provide the most convenient driving conditions for existing driver designs. Also, with a ceramic substrate, users can have higher reliability and better thermal dissipation.
Veeco revenues slump 40.1% but firm is still making a profit
The III-V compound semiconductor, nitride LED and solar equipment manufacturer says it is experiencing growth in its Data Storage and MBE businesses, and services across all its technologies
Veeco Instruments has announced its financial results for its “continuing operations” in the first quarter ended March 31, 2012.
Everlight’s C52 new Chip-on-Board LED
For these types of applications, an LED light source must exhibit compact size, high efficiency, sufficient lumen output, high CRI, high colour uniformity, and proper light distribution to maintain a comfortable and uniform lighting environment, all at consumer acceptable prices.
Everlight boasts its new C52 COB Series has created another ideal LED to address major challenges posed when designing a retrofit like MR, GU or candelabra type, with minimum efficiency requirements, thermal management in limited space, and complexity of design.
Everlight’s COB series is a 3.7W multi chip, ceramic substrate based LED that boasts a low thermal resistance (Rth < 1.8°C/W) and superior efficacy of 100lm/W at 3000K CCT and high CRI ( > 80Ra). It will be available not only in ANSI 3000K CCT but in all Energy Star / ANSI colour temperature ranges.

John R. Peeler, Veeco’s Chief Executive Officer, comments, “We are executing well during the downturn in MOCVD demand. Veeco’s first quarter revenue reached the top of our guidance at $140 million. Adjusted EBITA and non-GAAP earnings per share were $25 million and $0.49, respectively, on strong performance on the gross margin line and good expense management.”
Veeco generated about $42 million in cash flow from operations, ending the quarter with $524 million in cash and short term investments. First
