Flip Chip Opto introduces mid-power horticultural chip-on-board LEDs
LED lighting technology firm Flip Chip Opto Inc of Fremont, CA, USA has introduced mid-power solutions for the horticultural industry.
The Duet F series consists of 100W, 150W, 200W, 250W and 300W versions of the flip-chip chip-on-board (COB) LED. Offering five different photosynthetic photon flux density (PPFD) ratios under dedicated spectrums between 450nm royal blue and 600-700nm broadband red allows what is claimed to be unparalleled photosynthesis and corresponds to the various plant growth stages.
The structure of each COB is based on the patented DBR LED flip chip and uses the firm's in-house low-temperature bonding technologies (LTBT), boosting lighting efficacy and decreasing the thermal resistance between the LED chip junction and the module's metal substrate.
The Duet series features 1/3, 1/6, 1/8, 1/10 and 1/12 ratios in blue and red power consumptions. The PPFD outputs in various ratios allow horticultural applications that focus on different stages of the plant life as photosynthetic absorption rates vary throughout the life cycle. The three selections of red peak spectrum (627nm, 640nm, 650nm) enable growers to choose their preferred broadband. Additionally, it can be substituted in spectrums ranging from correlated color temperatures (CCTs) of 2700–5700K and color rendering index (CRI) of 60-98.
