Seoul Semi brings Z4 LEDs to light
LED manufacturer Seoul Semiconductor has unveiled a high-intensity Z-Power LED series called ‘Z4.’ Seoul Semiconductor has continuously expanded its LED product line in accordance with its 2011 business plan which targets the release of a new product suitable for a different market every month.
The new model is a 1W LED light which is one of the most demanding in the current LED market. It is good for general lighting such as those used in incandescent lamps and MR16 bulb-type lighting.
In particular, Seoul Semi says the Z4 is very competitive in terms of price with outstanding luminous efficiency (100lm/W) and luminous flux of 100ml. And it also provides excellent brightness, efficiency and colour rendering properties for a 1W LED with a CRI greater than 85.
Seoul Semi says its Z4 LED helps to prevent degradation at high temperatures and offers exceptional reliability and high protection against heat compared to other competitive products. Above all, a price-competitive Z4 is highly competitive product in ‘cost/lm’ which is most important for LED for lighting.
Until now, Seoul Semi LED performance was judged by ‘lm/W’, but now the firm feels that ‘cost/lm’ is more important for performance after releasing high intensity products over 100lm. In addition, the company has adopted a silicon lens for optical safety. This product is available in two colours: warm white and cool white.
In-sup Ra, Vice president of Seoul Semiconductor, said, “We have developed the high-efficiency, low-price Z4 series with the goal of increasing our market share in the world’s most demanding 1W LED
Samples of the Z4 series are available now and mass production will begin in May.
