Everlight introduces new fog light LED

The III-nitride based LEDs enable energy savings and environmental protection
Everlight Electronics has put its three decades of experience in optoelectronics in developing LED components into the new Argus series fog light source.



Everlight's single-chip Argus LED packages for fog light are based on Everlight's Shwo D high-power LED

This product is capable of providing a clear forward visibility when driving in dense fog or heavy downpour. Combined with the colour temperature of sunlight (5600K), the LED front fog light increases the driver’s ability to perceive contrasts.

The Argus series combined fog light and daytime running light module will be showcased in the 2014 Guangzhou International Lighting Exhibition.

Similar to general lighting, car lighting has a long history from the earliest kerosene lamps to halogen light to the most popular HIDs of today. Alongside with the popular applications in lighting, LED is making its way into car products.

As the “eye” of a car, car lights are the most important contributors to driving safety and evolved from satisfying night time lighting needs to taking care of driving safety 24/7.

The LED head lamps and adaptive front lighting system, such as those installed on Audi A7, A8 and BMW M3, M4, as well as commonly seen LED brake lights and indicator lights not only show the unequalled ability of LEDs in energy saving and environmental protection, but also suggest that the use of LEDs improves the selling point and value of products themselves.

This year, Everlight is rolling out new high-power Argus single-chip LED fog light sources. In addition to the traditional 3.5 x 3.5mm package, the Argus comes with 2.5 x 2.5 and even 1.5 x 1.5 single-chip packages to make the LED fog light modules more compact.

Therefore, the light energy using the diffusion area in a reflective design is not lowered, and thus, the light efficiency and in turn the flexibility of space design are greatly improved. In the Argus single-chip series, the lens and chipset are put through rigorous optical reflection tests to improve colour temperature and uniform halo effect.

Regarding brightness performance, the single-chip module running on 1W produces a lighting effect as high as 150lm. Everlight will target rigorous requirements of zero defects like in car manufacturing as well as a global team of professionals to build a milestone for car lighting market.

The quality of Everlight’s car LED components is certified to TS16949, and the LEDs themselves are AEC_Q101 certified. They are at the top of rank in stability, efficiency and cost/performance ratio, which makes Everlight an indispensible link in the supply chain of major international car manufacturers. The practical experience in the OE market has been highly recognised among major international firms.

Argus is said to meet the demands and technical criteria of the highest quality in the market  particularly for the high temperature and harsh environment in the headlight assemblies.

Everlight Argus headlamp LED

Low thermal resistance and high heat dissipation rate with outstanding cost/performance ratio Everlight’s high-power Argus series of LED headlight modules feature low thermal resistance and a high heat dissipation rate.

The overall package size is reduced to allow flexible space for the component manufacturers to design their headlight products. During the car LED design stage, Everlight works with several car lighting manufacturers for the demands and concepts of car LED products in the product design.

From heat dissipation to optical design, Everlight has developed double-chip, 4-chip, 5-chip and 6-chip designs based on top-notch cooperation of optical and heat dissipating technologies.

The latest Argus products are a line of high-performance headlight LED modules based on ceramic substrates featuring high heat dissipation rate up to 170W/mK, far better than those provided by conventional ceramic substrates. A single chip running at 1A provides up to 1200lm.

With a properly designed heat dissipating mechanism, a single chip provides highly stable performance even at 1.2A. The single-chip Tj design that has passed the 150°C high-temperature test is perfect for the harsh, extremely hot environment in a headlight assembly. For the optical element technology,

Everlight was able to control the multi-chip intervals within 0.08mm thanks to meticulous  manufacturing process and innovated technology, allowing much simpler optical design and highly refined cut-off lines.

All of these improve clients’ flexibility in style and space design and added values, bring out the strength of Everlight’s products in lighting efficiency and flexible applications of products, and meet clients’ demands for high standard and complete service.

The quality of Everlight’s car LED components is certified for TS16949, and the LEDs themselves are AEC_Q101 certified. They are claimed to be top in stability,efficiency and cost/performance ratio.
