Durham, N.H.—Cree Inc. has announced the first commercially available water-resistant, surface-mount, high-brightness LEDs for outdoor video screens.
This RGB (red-green-blue) LED has an IPx5 rating, indicating that the LED is protected against low-pressure jets of water from all directions.
The ScreenMaster CLV6A-FKB features a black face for improved contrast in full-color video screens, decorative lighting and amusement applications. It has a unique encapsulation resin with UV-inhibitors, minimizing the effects of long-term exposure to direct sunlight. According to Cree, this improves the stability of the light-output over the life of the LED. It also features a unique matched horizontal radiation pattern, enhancing color mixing and pixel-to-pixel color consistency.
The CLV6A-FKB is commercially available now, and samples can be requested through a Cree representative.
