BivarOpto’s LK Series encompasses single-chip, 1W LEDs targeting safety, signaling, emergency, and general illumination (Picture). The 465- to 635-nm surface-mount devices, also available in white to 8000K, use a Cree XLamp die that includes an aluminum pc-board base for managing thermal issues. The lead-free encased metal-core module, which measures 20.3 mm sq, includes an integral lens; you ca also get a two-pin header-based connector for snap-in and ease of replacement. The LED operates from –30 to +100°C; maximum forward current is 400 mA. The LK Series modules are $4 (volume quantities).
