Re: ANN: LED Luminosity Breakthrough

Good morning.

By way of explanation I'd like to clear up some points that seem to have 
flummoxed some dear readers.

1. It is not a power saving device. When I state that it has low power 
consumption, I'm detailing the hybrid circuit (module) and not it's output.

2. When I state that it interconnects a 'nominal' 9 volt supply with a 
'nominal' 5 volt LED, I mean that these are the entry points for use of the 
circuit. Some LED's are 3 volts in which case 5 to 6 volts would be 
suitable for application. A 6 volt LED could be powered with a 10 to 12 
volt supply. If the device were to be used in a truck or a bus with 24 
volts supply then one would want to add a voltage divider (say 2 resistors 
at 150 ohms, wattage dependant on the size of the array being powered) at 
the input side. The tables supplied on the datasheets indicate "nominal" 
input and output voltage limits for each model...ie LAM9 or LAM9P, the "P" 
standing for power.

3. The components used in the hybrid are rated far higher than I have 
provided for in the datasheets for safety sake. Therefore sinking more 
current than is specified would not damage the module.

4. The hybrid module is designed with Cadsoft Eagle circuit CAD software - 
in essence, this is what is 'for sale'.

5. Scoping the output of the module will provide a clue as to how it works.

6. Lux increases, nM stays the same +- 10%

Any other questions you may have will be gladly answered provided that I do 
not give the game away.

I have a question for you. Should I post more details with links in other 
boards within these groups, such as the B/S/T section?

Thank you for your continuing indulgence.
