BEAMS-R v1 LED assembly


 
  $20.00

Availability:  2 - 3 Days

​​

Briefly
At the moment there aren’t even remote analogues of the BEAMS-R v1 LED assemblies which could be compared to them combining these main characteristics:
- the number of LED control channels. There are 7 in this assembly.
- the density of the installation of LEDs. This assembly contains 9 LEDs which optical centers do not extend beyond a circle with a diameter of 8 mm.
- the type of LEDs used. This assembly is the first one to use the ultra-compact Flip Chip LEDs developed by Lumileds. Luxeon C colour LEDs are widely used, which are especially designed for luminaires with adjustable spectrum. The latest TSLC2016 LEDs are also used.
- the thermal conductivity of the material of the printed circuit board (PCB). Thermal conductivity of the special Polytronics material is approximately 8 times higher than that of inexpensive metal plates

Lifetime of LED assembly until the amount of radiation reaches 70% of the original, hours** >100K

*To achieve the best price/performance ratio. Also, this mode of use is recommended when using a heat sink with passive cooling. 
**Being part of the BEAMS system, following the terms of usage and for the temperature of LED crystals no more than 70° C and current not more than 70% of maximum.

SPECIAL FEATURES:

  • Assembly is a true full-spectrum source of light
  • Small size
  • 9 powerful LEDs
  • 3 newest Luxeon C color LEDs
  • 4 newest Luxeon Flip Chip LEDs
  • 2 newest TSLC 2016M LEDs
  • 7 varieties of LEDs in 7 independent control channels, which provide for all spectrum formation needs for marine aquariums***
  • Assemblies are sufficient for the best colouring and visual perception of marine aquariums with corals and fish, the amount of radiation
  • Minimizing the appearance of colour spots in the aquarium due to the maximum density of the LEDs on the board
  • Plug-in connection of assemblies to drivers without soldering, with zero installation effort, greatly simplifying the assembly process
  • 100% output quality control of all LEDs and finished assemblies

Try to avoid tainting the LEDs, including with sebum. Wear gloves when installing the LED assembly.

How to install flexible ribbon cables into the ZIF connectors.
1.Open the connector retainer by pulling it out by its edge connector:

The effort required for this is very little, please do not use a lot of force to avoid breaking the lock

2. Place the flexible ribbon cable with its contacts facing up. Insert it into the ZIF connector until it stops. This is done with small effort.
Then, simultaneously press on the edges of the retainer, using the back of the ZIF connector until it stops.
Push the lock into the connector until it stops.


The required force is not big.  Please apply the same force to both edges of the retainer not allowing it to skew.

3. The properly closed lock of the ZIF connector looks like this:

Pay attention - the gap between the retainer edges and the body of the connector is completely absent.
