New LED Design for Automotive Safety Applications

Nova Electronics Chooses OSRAM LED Technology for Warning Signals

Nova Electronics uses the OSRAM Opto Semiconductors' LED technology for Nova's new, innovative LED warning signals. The new warning signals represent a breakthrough in emergency warning light design due to the thin packaging, extreme light output and best mounting capabilities.

The new Nova SLWIC3 contains 56 wide-angle, high-intensity OSRAM Power TOPLEDs in a novel split-array arrangement. The high-performance LEDs are brighter than the average strobe light and have 100,000 hours of rated lifetime. These powerful LEDs enable Nova's warning signal to alert drivers to hazards in any weather conditions.

"Nova's SL Series of LED warning signals, based on OSRAM's Power TOPLED devices, has proven to be a very effective and robust design", said Steve Hanley, president, Nova Electronics.

"The OSRAM Power TOPLED is key to the success of the product line due to space constraints and intensity requirements - the Power TOPLED streamlines our manufacturing process."

The surface-mounted, high-intensity LEDs are packaged in an extremely thin (.343"), waterproof enclosure (6.4455" x 2.20") and can be mounted to any surface or retrofitted to existing applications. This technology alleviates the need to alter vehicle bodies and enables these lights to be mounted in previously difficult areas. Installation requires only three wires, saving time and reducing labor cost.

Nova Electronics designs and manufactures high-quality LED, strobe and halogen warning signals and systems for the Fire, Police, Automotive, Construction and School Bus industries. They offer a complete line of LED and strobe warning signals, power supplies and a broad range of LED and strobe remote heads.
