AC-LED technology that reduces Correlated Color Temperature (CCT)

AC-LED technology that reduces CCT with standard dimmers and AC voltage sources

Lynk Labs Inc. has demonstrated a newly-patented AC-LED circuit and drive scheme which it describes as “Warm-on-dim.” This will allow the company to provide AC-LED light engines and COB (chip-on-board) packages which, when dimmed with standard dimmers, provide a similar quality of light to incandescent lamps. Like incandescent lamps, the Correlated Color Temperature (CCT) decreases when the light intensity is dimmed.

“The new warm-on-dim technology is the combination of new drive methods and AC-LED circuit topologies developed by Lynk to fill a growing need in the market,” said Bob Kottritsch, vice president EMEA at Lynk Labs.

The new technology utilizes a simple, new AC-LED drive scheme and LED circuit structure that requires limited components. The technology demonstrated at the assembly level, and will next be implemented into COBs, according to Lynk.

“Assembly-level implementations will be available under our SnapBrite product line in early Q2 with plans to have COB-level Tesla AC-LED packages by late Q2,” said Kottritsch.
