LEDs produce color spectrum close to natural sunlight
The LEDs offer low power consumption and long life in an array of lighting options, including fluorescent tubes, standing lights and compact handheld lamps which makes the devices an alternative to large, heat-producing xenon lamps in areas such as automotive paint inspection.
Kyocera’s LEDs claim to render a wider and more evenly distributed spectrum of light than conventional LEDs or fluorescent lighting to make a color rendering possible that approximates natural sunlight. The color rendering characteristics are essential for applications requiring accurate color reproduction, such as paint manufacturing, commercial printing and automotive color inspection.
The new LEDs are rated for 100,000 hours of service, equal to more than 11 years of continuous operation, with low power consumption. Additionally, Kyocera’s proprietary material technology has yielded a ceramic package with higher reflectivity than conventional materials, resulting in brighter light output.
Kyocera is making the LED modules available in multiple lighting options for diverse applications, including a handheld portable device for inspecting large objects such as cars; standing lights for inspection workstations; and fluorescent tubes for illuminating entire rooms or enclosed areas. Kyocera can supply LED modules individually or in finished products of the aforementioned configurations. The LEDs can also be supplied in battery-powered versions for enhanced portability.
Kyocera’s LEDs are designed for environments that demand the ultimate accuracy in color reproduction, and/or general aesthetics – ranging from fine-art museums and fashion retailing to hospital operating rooms and high-tech manufacturing.
