PRLog - Jul 22, 2013 - INDIANAPOLIS -- THE NEW REVOLUTIONARY ORPHEK V5 MATRIX LED CHIP
The new and revolutionary Version 5 matrix LED chip is now available for the new DIF 100 series of LED Pendants. Years of laboratory experiments conducted by Orphek has led to the development of the ultra efficient V5 multi-chip. Each and every LED in this LED matrix was carefully designed and tuned to provide the best light for coral color and extremely fast growth.
Orphek’s major goal in this new LED project was to increase the lumens per watt in the lower spectrum range which appears darker to the human eye’s receptors. This lower spectrum range is also the range that chlorophyll A depends on to provide the necessary nutrients that corals need to survive and grow. Without chlorophyll A, corals will not survive.
A word about lumens; a light source emitting a power of one watt of light has a luminous flux of 683 lumens. This of course depends on the wavelength lumens are measured at. The 683 figure would be the result if the wavelength were 555nm. Green LEDs have the highest lumens per watt because they are in the 555nm wavelength range. Although the lumens rating are high, this wavelength serves no useful for growing corals. Orphek uses no green LEDs in their LED Pendants.
Orphek goal was to increase the Lm/watt in the 410-430 range by 15 times which provides more than enough intensity in this spectrum range for chlorophyll A which is very important for corals to survive and grow. The spectrum in this range does not appear bright to the human eye and if too many LEDs in this range are used, the aquarium will appear dark. With Orphek’s new white UV/violet LED, this is not the case, the intensity will not decrease.
The new Orphek LED matrix chip will also provide spectacular coloration of your corals with the increased intensity level in the lower spectrum. Common off the shelf UV/Violet diodes provide about .2 to 4 lumens per watt. With the new Orphek Version 5 LED matrix chip we have increased the intensity by up to 60 lumens per watt. This advanced innovation allows us to use more UV/Violet diodes to raise the intensity shown in the above spectrum without the downside of having a dull blue looking display while still providing the demanding light requirements needed for Chlorophyll A to flourish.
The new and revolutionary Version 5 LED matrix chip will be available in several customized Kelvin temperatures; 16K, 18K, 20K, or any Kelvin temperature ranging from 3K to 25K.
Version 5 is another milestone in Orphek’s ongoing superior LED technology which continually offers improvements in the LED process and in the spectrum corals best respond to. Version 5 also adds a few cyan 490nm LEDs for further enhancement of coral fluorescence.
Orphek can also provide a customized V5 LED matrix chip to meet any customer’s application needs. On request, Orphek will provide to each customer, a unique spectrograph of the V5 Version they have chose.
In tandem with the design and development of the V5 super chip, Orphek has also designed and developed the V5 Super Actinic Chip.
This specialized chip is a member of the Version 5 improvements and was developed by Orphek to complement older metal halide lighting technology. The Orphek Super Actinic Chip, installed in our DIF Pendants, will eliminate the need for fluorescent lighting technology presently used with metal halide systems to provide actinic light. The Orphek Super Actinic Chip provides excellent actinic range while reducing power usage, heat, and yearly lamp replacement of other lighting technologies used for this purpose. It will further enhance the shimmer effect which fluorescent lamps do not provide.
The Super Actinic Chip can also be used in association with Orphek Daylight LED Pendants in large systems to increase the intensity of actinic light entering the aquarium.
