YEG Opto, the opto electronics division of Young Electronics Group, is pleased to announce their new partnership with Samsung to distribute their range of Medium and High Power LEDs in the UK and Ireland.

Building on their already successful LED manufacturing business, Samsung offer a growing range of medium and high power LEDs for general lighting, street lighting and signage applications. Samsung are transferring their LED manufacturing expertise into the lighting business by utilising their established global facilities (from chip making to the final package) and overall LED know how which have been developed from LEDs for TVs, mobile phones and laptop computers.

Samsung’s mid power LED range (> 60mA) covers the complete white spectrum from cold to warm white within a tight binning scheme. The performance of the LEDs is furthermore characterised by an excellent thermal resistance and a high lumen output. In early 2009 Samsung released their first 1 Watt chip (90lm) and are going to expand and enhance their high power range significantly in 2010.

YEG Opto specialises in the supply, integration and distribution of LED products and associated components to OEMs and CEMs.  Together with their manufacturing partners and group resources, YEG Opto offer a complete package from design-in support to the supply of world leading LED products and associated technologies including Lighting and Indicator LEDs, Drivers and Controllers, Secondary Optics, Thermal Solutions, Sub Assembly Services and Logistics.
