El Segundo,CA - May 15, 2006

A warm-white midget flange LED lamp, designed to retrofit and replace incandescent light bulbs, is now available from DDP. The T1 3Z4 LED is seen as ideal for indicators used for backlighting switches, pushbutton rockers and panel builders in harsh conditions including off-highway, transportation, military / aerospace and industrial applications. "Because of the fragile nature of incandescent light bulbs, robust LEDs are preferred in harsh environment applications for their durability," said Tony Toniolo, DDP president. "Solid-state lighting provides other advantages such as maintenance and power savings, as well as performance enhancements like reliability, longer life span, and consistent colour and brightness levels. The warm and white colours of our LEDs mirror the brightness of traditional incandescent lighting." The LEDs ensure a clean white light without any colour mixture, a requirement for many applications that demand specific colour and brightness levels such as railroad stations and trains as well as military / aerospace applications, says the company. The subminiature T1 3Z4 size midget flange based LED features an industry standard mount and is available in 6V, 12V, 14V, 24V, and 28V versions. It also works with a variety of colour lenses. They are available in either standard or custom assemblies.
