DORADO's High Power Design Reduces Heat and Extends Lamp Life, Ideal for Multiple Applications

HONG KONG, October 18, 2004 - COTCO International Limited, a pioneer in the development and delivery of light emitting diode (LED) components and one of Asia's emerging technology leaders, today announced the launch of the DORADO, the most cost-effective, high-lumen one-watt LED on the market which features the smallest footprint in the industry.

The DORADO is ideal for a diverse range of applications including interior and exterior architectural lighting, entertainment, large signage, decorative lighting, and landscape lighting. Ease of installation, competitive cost and superb brightness makes it an essential product for architects, manufacturers and designers.

"With the DORADO, COTCO is introducing a new breed of high efficiency LED lighting that sets industry standards and moves to another level of sophistication," said Richard Sy, General Manager, COTCO International Ltd. "The DORADO's matchless durability, reliability, and flexibility allow it to meet the diverse needs of specifiers, designers, and end users."

The DORADO's peak performance is achieved through an exposed pad design that greatly improves thermal performance and results in excellent heat dissipation and longer lifespan while minimizing over-heat issues commonly encountered by users of high-power LEDs.

The product stands apart from other LED lights because it features a molded lens package design that offers unrivalled usage, consistency and reliability, greatly decreasing vibration and shock failures. The DORADO also enables greater adaptability as it is specifically designed for implementation to SMT assembly equipment infrastructure.

Users are no longer required to purchase additional equipment because the DORADO can solder reflow equipment and adapt to the existing production system.
