Sunbrite Introduces New Chip Strip LEDs(TM) For Low-Maintenance, High-Intensity Signage Applications



PALATINE, IL--The Sunbrite Group of Lumex, Inc. is announcing new ChipStripLEDs(TM), modular, stackable light sources for signage, decorative lighting, and channel letter illumination. These low-profile, high-intensity units contain state-of-the-art LEDs, and provide multiple advantages over conventional incandescent or neon lighting in both indoor and outdoor lighting applications. They also facilitate the creation of completely new lighting concepts for architectural, theater, and decorative illumination designs.

Unlike the neon and incandescent light sources they replace, Sunbrite's ChipStripLEDs are solid-state devices with an operating life in excess of 100,000 hours. This reduces the need for periodic replacement or maintenance. ChipStripLEDs don't generate the high heat levels associated with incandescent bulbs, and they eliminate the bulky high-voltage power sources required by neon. They consume less power then either incandescent or neon lighting.

Sunbrite ChipStripLEDs provide a brightness level comparable to neon and they are available in a full range of colors including green, yellow, blue, red, and white. This new lighting technology uses LEDs with a 120° viewing angle, reducing the number of LEDs required to maintain a uniform light emission level. The result is a further reduction in power consumption.

Each unit contains four high-intensity LEDs mounted in a plastic housing measuring 83mm x 16.7mm (3.27-inch x 0.66-inch), and is equipped with standard spade lugs on both ends. Operating voltage is 12 VDC.

The units are designed for easy stacking, to create a wide range of signs and lighting.

Production quantities of Sunbrite's new ChipStripLEDs are available in 8 weeks. Pricing begins at $12.50 each, in quantities of 1,000, and depends on color specified and quantity ordered.
