Dialight Lumidrives is committed to supplying customers with the best
possible LED technology and associated value adding products. This
technology driving our business is moving fast with month by month
improvements in efficiency and power density. In this catalog, we only
present products which are available to ship now, but in our
development program we have many new products and concepts. To
keep fully up to date with what innovation we can offer please visit our
web site www.dialight.com and select “Solid State Lighting”.
Dialight Lumidrives uses LEDs only from quality LED manufacturers
who provide accurate data and reliability criteria. We select the LED on
the basis of performance in a particular application e.g. flux, color
performance, uniformity, thermal characteristics and cost. The type of
LED used in a product may change to reflect the best total performance
offered in the LED market.
The human eye is very susceptible to variations in white
light, we recommend new users of white LEDs and users
with large projects to contact us to discuss the details of
the application. Dialight Lumidrives has extensive
application expertise in projects with 100,000s of individual
LEDs and has successfully managed LED selection in very
demanding applications.
Product Labeling and Binning

4500K
When LEDs are manufactured they are grouped or “binned” according
to luminous flux, color (nm or CCT) and voltage. This means that when
viewing LEDs from multiple bins, different colors or shades may be
noticeable. This affects LEDs from all manufacturers and the industry
is continuously researching and improving production methods to
reduce variability.

binning for our customers. Products produced by Lumidrives are
uniquely labeled to identify the type and bin of LED used, should a
replacement be required in the future.
