Completes its line-up of COB packages, to deliver a greater range of wattages

SEOUL, Korea – November 4, 2014 – Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd., a world leader in advanced component solutions, today introduced new chip-on-board (COB) LED package products, the LC006B and LC008B, with six and eight watts of power respectively. The new packages join five others in Samsung’s popular LC series (LC013B, LC019B, LC026B, LC033B and LC040B), to complete its COB package line-up.

“With the introduction of our new under-10 watt COB packages, we are signaling our intent to aggressively target the indoor LED lighting market,” said Bangwon Oh, senior vice president, strategic marketing team, LED Business, Samsung Electronics. “Samsung will continue to advance its LED technology and business objectives by providing lighting manufacturers with the best in LED lighting components, delivering exceptionally high-quality LED package and engine products and services that reliably meet customer needs,” he added. “We remain dedicated to increasing our breadth of market solutions, to further grow our LED lighting component business.”

A chip-on-board LED package provides a single light source that combines multiple LED chips to achieve higher light intensity and uniformity, while simplifying luminaire design.

The LC006B and LC008B offer high-efficacy levels of 140lm/W and 142lm/W at 5000K CCT, respectively. The new packages will support a wide range of CCT (Correlated Color Temperature) specifications from 2700K to 5000K with a CRI (Color Rendering Index) over 80. They also feature a compact package size with an 8mm LES (Light Emitting Surface) and a package structure that can be easily connected with holders or screw mounts for greater installation convenience.

Samsung’s LC series has gained widespread attention for delivering high luminance from a small LES, as well as low heat resistance and outstanding light efficacy. The LC packages also feature high color uniformity with 3-step MacAdam ellipses and consistently superior light quality.

Samsung COB LED lighting solutions now can be used in a significantly wider range of applications, including downlight for home lighting, flood light for industrial lighting, and spotlight and downlight for commercial lighting.
