High Power LEDs consist of a large area LED die mounted on a high thermal conductivity leadframe. They're designed to take much higher currents, and so generate many multiples more light than a standard LED.

High Power LEDs are most useful in applications where large amounts of light need to be generated from a small emitting area. As the currents involved are much higher, good thermal management and drive circuitry are vital to ensure long term performance.

Typical applications include:

• Semiconductor lighting
• Signalling
• Microscope lamps
• Automotive lighting
• Lighting for refrigerators and freezers

We pioneered High Power LED technology when we launched our TO220 package range of 1W and 3W high power LEDs in 2005. As a result, our engineers are among the most experienced in the industry when it comes to applying this technology to real world applications, and can assist in both component selection and application.

Our current range consists of High Power LEDs in the following packages and styles:
