Based LEDs SELECTOR GUIDE
With the technological advancements in Light Emitting Diodes
(LEDs) brightness can now rival the incandescent lamp when
used in similar packages. These advancements have allowed
for a new type of product called the Based LED - an LED with
the fit and functionality of an incandescent light bulb.
Dialight's line of based LEDs were designed with flexibility and
efficiency in mind.
Longer life - up to 100,000 hrs
Energy savings - 90% less power required

LED Configuration:
Single Chip - The single chip design consists of a single ultra-bright LED of the latest LED technology, AlInGaP or InGaN, which is
mounted onto an incandescent base. Even though there is only one LED, this high intensity product can provide equivalent light output of the
bulb it replaces. This design has a slightly narrower viewing angle than either the multi-chip or cluster, yet is one of the most cost-effective
designs available.
Cluster - The cluster uses multiple discrete SMD or 3 mm T1 LEDs mounted into the appropriate incandescent base. The viewing angle
of the cluster is 120°, however the use of multiple LEDs increases the overall light output. The overall design provides flexibility where the lat-
est in LED technology, AlInGaP and InGaN, can be employed.
Multi-chip - The multi-chip device incorporates 6 LED die-mounted on a specially designed ceramic header which is then placed onto a
traditional incandescent base. It's unique construction enables versatility; not only can the die be mounted on this header but additional com-
ponents can be added. Typical viewing angle of the multi-chip is 120°.
Polarity
LEDs are diodes which allow current to flow in only one direction. In order to utilize them with an alternating power source (AC), or if you
are unfamiliar with the polarity of your circuit, a rectifying circuit must be used. Dialight's non-polarized based LEDs incorporate a full wave
rectifier and all the necessary components to allow proper operation in any circuit providing the correct voltage is used.
Maximizing Light Output
In order to maximize the light output from a based LED, it is important to match the color of the lens cap to the emitting color of the LED.
Unlike the incandescent lamp that emits light over the full spectrum, LEDs are monochromatic (emit one color). Since a lens cap is a filter, if
not matched properly the overall light output may be substantially reduced.
