White LEDs offers up to 8x intensity of others

Firstsight Vision can now offer the new high-intensity SW2 series of RoHS-compliant white LEDs from CCS Inc, with up to 8x increase in intensity compared to standard white LEDs. These new LEDs are extremely competitively priced, giving an outstanding price/ performance ratio. The new SW2 series offers both front and back lighting and is available in 7 configurations with 36 different models for use in a host of applications and are ideally suited to colour imaging. Variants include ring lights, bar systems and flat panels. They can be used to replace high-intensity fluorescent or halogen lights or to replace existing white LEDs where higher intensity is required. The SW2 series can be used in two modes. Using the standard power supply, an intensity increase of up to 2x compared to conventional sources can be achieved. However the SW2 series can also be used in conjunction with a PTU2 pulsed power supply. In this mode, intensity increases of up to 4x compared to the basic SW2 (up to 8x compared to standard white LEDs) operation are possible.
