We redesigned our aLED-modules based on customer and market feedback. Here is a brief explanation on what is different compared to previous version. And why I think you should consider using aLED modules.
Figure 1. New aLED Modules with examples of different connector locations.
Better efficacy (159-191 lm/W)
We upgraded the SMD LEDs used in the modules to better suit our customers’ needs. aLED modules now have efficacy from 159 lm/W to 190 lm/W. Efficacy depends on the color temperature and you can see the efficacy by CCT here:
- 2700K (174 lm/W)
- 3000K (177 lm/W)
- 4000K (185 lm/W)
- 5000K (191 lm/W)
Better placement of LEDs
We have changed the design of our aLED module. LEDs are now placed on the center line of the module so the installation of optics is easier.
aLED modules dimensions have also changed. New modules are now either 279.2 mm or 558.4 mm in length and 20 mm or 40 mm in width.
Different options for connectors
It is now possible to order aLED modules with connectors either on the frontside or on the backside. Traditionally the connectors have been on the frontside, but these new backside connectors allow you to hide the wires behind the module and inside the profile.
For longer luminaires, there is a possibility to use backline, so you won’t need long wires. Short wires to connect multiple modules together will be enough (figure 2).

Long lifetime
Thanks to the upgraded LED, the lifetime of aLED modules has also increased. You can see the lifetime prediction below. But to be brief: at maximum TC temperature (85°C) the lifetime (L70B50) is over 100.000 hours (figure 3).

Friendly to environment
On top of high efficacy and the possibility to save energy, aLED modules are also recyclable. You can recycle all parts of module, even the PCB.
In addition to all these changes aLED modules prices have also dropped to more competitive level.

In addition to these new models, all our previous module models are also still available.
