Seoul Semiconductor, a LED manufacturer has declared the recognition of two of its Acrich2 AC-powered LED modules by the UL’s Component Recognition Program.
The modules are constructed with novel, high-voltage LEDs based on Seoul Semiconductor’s patented Acrich technology and utilizes a capacitor-free power-conditioning integrated circuit. Direct access to AC line voltages facilitates operation. Customers using the Acrich2 can now have their replacement lamps and luminaries listed in the UL, following the UL recognition. In addition, the products achieve the cUL Recognition Mark for Canada.
The modules were analyzed to comply with the Standard for Light Emitting Diode (LED) Equipment for Use in Lighting Products. The 8W, SMJEA3011220 module generates 500 lm approximately, while the 13W, SMJEA3012220 module produces 800 lm at a 120Vrms operating voltage. Both modules were specifically designed to be ideally used in replacement lamps and for other related applications.
According to the vice-president of Seoul Semiconductor, North America, Brian Wilcox, the Acrich2 modules allows market entry and rapid commercialization of luminaries and replacement lamps, thereby benefiting customers in lighting markets. With the UL recognition, the potential listing delays in certification process will be eliminated, thereby enabling the achievement of accredits or other certifications more easily.
Recently, the company has unveiled a variety of products related to individual devices in the Acrich2 array. The direct sales force and distributors of Seoul Semiconductor will commercialize the products to several customers worldwide.
