New Products Apr 13, 2015 by Jeff Shepard

FuturoLighting, s.r.o. has introduced a smart AC LED module operating directly from 230-Vac power. The new module integrates an ac driver with a power factor above 0.97 offering ON/OFF and dimming functionality with stand-by consumption below 0.5W. The module was designed in several versions covering basic, triac dimmable, analogue dimmable and smart functionality. Dimensions of the module are 100 x 100 mm with height of 5 mm for basic and 25 mm for smart version. It is considered to be the first integrated approach of an ac driver together with movement sensor and smart behavior. From a practical standpoint, these modules are electrically similar to an incandescent bulb (resistive load).

Smart version offers control functionality with adjustable delay time, where stand-by level can be adjusted from 0 to 80% through programming interface directly on the module. One specialty of this solution is integrated dimming behavior that makes light change during switching ON and OFF of the module visual smooth. Smart module has implemented ambient sensor for recognition of day/night and its threshold level can be easily adjusted through programming interface as well.

This new Smart AC LED module can be populated from various LED brands. Current design accepts Osram Duris E5, Samsung LM561, LiteON 5630, LG and other similar foot print mid power LEDs. It must be noticed that used ac conversion principle is not flicker free and is mostly suitable for cost sensitive applications where Class I is acceptable. This module can be customized according to customer requirements. Design files of the ac LED module as well as measurement reports are available for sale in design package.
