30-LED WHITE HIGH-FLUX LED STRIP

30-LED White High-Flux LED Strip, $TBA (LUMITRONIX®)
Manufactured by LUMITRONIX® (LUMITRONIX®)
Last updated 12-15-09




This is a light bar that has 30 high-flux ("spider") phosphor-type white LEDs arranged in a series-parallel configuration. It is designed to be supplied with a fairly low voltage (~15 volts DC) and is rated to draw just 200mA.



To use this product, install it anywhere you wish where you need a long strip of white light. Connect one end to a source of ~16 volts DC. The strips can be daisy chained, so you only need to have power available at one end of the installation.

It is not yet known how many units can be daisy chained, but I'd say you'd be safe with five.



Connect the light bar to any source of DC power at ~16 volts that can supply at least 200mA.

My power supply cannot quite supply the necessary Vf to give a forward current of 200mA; I only got an If of ~175mA with the voltage adjustment dial set to maximum.

The light bars are daisy-chainable (meaning you can connect one bar to another without having to run your main power throughout the entire length of the installation); and are equipped with plugs on each end specifically for this purpose.



This light bar is meant to be used as a light bar in a dry area, not as a flashlight meant to be carried around, thrashed, and abused, so I won't try to drown them in the toilet tank, bash them against a steel rod or against the concrete floor of a patio, let my housemate's kitty cats go to the bathroom on them, run over them with a 450lb Celebrity motorised wheelchair, or perform other indecencies on them that a regular flashlight might have to go through. So this section of the web page will be significantly more bare than this section of the web page on a page about a flashlight.


Here's a closeup of some of the LEDs on this board.

I cut the connector off one end of one of the light bars so I could connect it to my power supply; the other light bar was left intact so that it could be tested by daisy chaining it to the first.





Here's a photograph of its beam on the test target at 12".
At a test current of 175mA, intensity was measured at 46,300mcd.
Remember, wider viewing angles always, ALWAYS, ALWAYS equal lower mcd values.
This is a long bar too; its light is not focused into a tight beam.
I'm not equipped to measure beam angles at all, but it is published as 90°.
