36 lm is delivered at 65mA drive current and 202 lm/W (4,000K 80CRI), or 220 lm driven at 480mA.

“It is suited to where fixture efficacy greater than 150 lm/W is paramount and LED count must be minimised,” said Wu.

2835 HE is lumen maintenance tested (LM-80) to 12,000 hours, “ensuring lumen maintenance of 72,000 hours in the field on L70, TM-21 basis”, claimed the firm.

A range of colour temperatures with CRIs from 70 to 90.

It is a drop-in replacement for 2835 LED packages (2.8 x 3.5mm) or, according to the firm, can replace 5630 (5.6 x 3.0mm) or 3030 (3.0 x 3.0mm) mid power sockets with similar optical requirements.
