Megaman LED's and EuP Directive
Megaman's new range of mains voltage integral LED reflectors have been upgraded to comply with the new EuP Directive which dictates that these lamps should have a rated life of 30,000 hours, an increase from 20,000. To achieve this, the components in the LED's have been enhanced and now look set to become the new benchmark for the industry, also offering a significant leap forward in light output and thermal management. They have overcome the temperature issues of other LEDs by incorporating an innovative vertical array of LEDs mounted back to back to generate as much of a point source as possible, thus increasing efficiency and light output. Based on over 10 years of R&D, these ground-breaking lamps offer a direct one-for-one replacement for halogen lamps in terms of colour temperature and intensity, with energy savings of up to 80%.
Using the company's patented LED design and TCH (Thermal Conductive Highway) technology, these LEDs offer a colour tolerance of just 100K shift in colour temperature – compared to an average of 800K for most other LEDs. They make use of a very light heat sink so will not tilt when installed in track spots. The Thermal management of LED's has always been the most important factor to consider during the design process, Megaman LED reflectors are different offering outstanding heat dissipation – in fact the LED chip can be touched during operation without danger of burning.
