Compact LEDs provide pleasant and even lighting

Würth Elektronik expands its RGB LED series WL-SFTD SMT Full-colour Top LED with the 2828 package, featuring a dome lens and a 70-degree emission angle. This ensures targeted and even light distribution, minimising glare and maximising brightness. The durable LEDs are appropriate for demanding lighting and signalling applications and thanks to their IPx8 water protection, they are also suited to exposed outdoor conditions.

Combining a footprint of just 2.8mm × 2.8mm, a dome lens with an optimal 70-degree emission angle, efficient RGB colour control, and an elegant matte black housing provides an innovative solution for flexible, energy-efficient lighting. Thanks to the high contrast and premium dynamic colour display, the LEDs are excellent as pixels for video walls. With their matte black housing, they achieve up to 25% higher contrast than white PLCC LED housings.

The 70-degree emission angle of the dome lens enhances light directionality, resulting in up to 20% more even light distribution compared to conventional LEDs with a lower emission angle. Besides video walls and displays, the LEDs are also suited for architectural, pathway and street lighting. Their IPx8 water protection also makes them excellent for use in harsh environments, weatherproof installations, audio and DJ equipment, and smart home and electronic products.
