LED sizes
Looks like we won't be getting LED lamps with a decent
light output - say 2000 or 3000 lumens or so - until the manufacturers learn how to make LED chips in larger sizes. Are there problems in doing this ? Jim Hawkins |

It's interesting, but their day white chips are only 100 lumen each, and the warm white ones only half that. And they appear only to fabricate them into strips of six chips. I think there's still some way to go before we get any 300 X 300 mm ceiling panels producing 2000 - 3000 lumens. Jim Hawkins |

Would an array of 60 chips @ 50 lm give you 3000 lm total? 60 chips is only an 8 x 8 matrix. 30 mm pitch will fit in a 300 mm square no problem... -- Cheers Dave. |

Dissipation probably. You would need a transparent conductive transparent
heat sinc? Brian -- From the Sofa of Brian Gaff Reply address is active "Jim Hawkins" wrote in message ...

I wonder how long they last and how efficient they are though.
Often the area that emits light is very small and getting enough that do not block each other in a reasonable package I think is still being experimented with.

Apologies anyone who got taken to the site's search/home page. It was actually an array (I missed that to begin with). But assembled as if a single element. Similar to the one Bill later posted. Not sure if true single-element designs would have any advantages? Obviously the manufacturing issues affect price (is it cheaper to make one huge LED or assemble several smaller - cheaper - ones?). But does it make any difference to an end user? -- Rod |
