May 2, 2003—LEDtronics reports that its StripLED ConnectableLED Modules are ideal for configuring lighting solutions for channel and reverse-channel lettering, signs, and displays, as well as under-the-counter and architectural applications. StripLEDs eliminate many of the shortcomings of neon or fluorescent lamps such as heat, broken tubes, and ballast failures.
Each StripLED module contains four super-bright, wide-angle LEDtronics SpiderLEDs; one 3-inch double-ended connector harness for easy daisy-chain assembly; and a pre-applied strip of 3M double-sided foam tape for “peel-and-stick” placement.
LEDs are wired in parallel and function independently. If one LED fails, the remaining LEDs continue to operate. In addition to channel-letter applications, StripLED may be used in buildings, amusement parks, theaters, stairways, emergency exit pathway lighting, etc.
Solid-state design renders LEDs impervious to shock, vibration, frequent switching, and environmental extremes, says LEDtronics. With an average life span of 100,000-plus hours (11 years), LED lamps operate more than 20 times longer than equivalent incandescent lamps. Savings from reduced maintenance costs and downtime quickly return the capital investment expenditure. LED lamps produce almost no heat and require 80%—90% less operating power than equivalent incandescents, so they are friendly to the environment as well as to the operating budget.
