A Newbie's curiosity: what LED emitter does it use?

Hello everyone!!!

I am from the Philippines where Amazon, eBay & other online stores are simply inaccessible or simply hard to reach. I’ve been googling around & viewing forums like CPF to satisfy my curiosity for lights, batteries, & the like, & after the somewhat restrictive atmosphere there, I decided to sign in to BLF.
Please excuse my ignorance, since this is the first time I have joined any forum. I mean, the question I am going to ask might have been posted or answered elsewhere here but I don’t know where to look & this bothers me.

Recently, some Energizer lights have been on sale here. One of them is the “upgraded” Energizer Professional Hard Case LED Task Light, which sells for Php734.00 (around 18 US$). The light comes with 2 Energizer Max AAs & boasts 125lm for its high output. The light says ” Made in China”, but I’m curious to know, what LED emitter does it use since it does not look like any of the CREEs I’ve seen, & thr package does not say anything about it?

What LED does it use? Could the good people here enlighten me? Thanks.

going to need a little more information or a link to the product as i can find 3 or 4 different lights under that name.

Could you post a picture?

I’ll see what I can do, as I’m only using an old symbian phone now to connect here. I have pictures but I don’t know how to post em here though.

I could only post here the walmart link of the item I’m referring to. Hope this helps guys:

This should answer your questions, looks to be Nichia bulbs and it is only 20lm not 125.
PDF Specs

I know the old version Nichia-3-LED version of this. That one was effectively 20lm only but as of 2013, Energizer updated the product to this one I have now. Unfortunately Energizer websites have not updated the factsheets pdfs yet, which leaves me so anxious as I could not find any other information about it except the one in the packaging. This updated version has one emitter as opposed to 3 (the old one has 3 Nichias). The emitter has round yellow phosphor center (not square or stripes), encased in what appears like a square copper-like metal, I also see 3 bond wires, I think.

got ya, if you find an image of the new version please post it.

As of now I see no option in my phone’s browser to upload pictures. Maybe tomorrow at work guys, all the computers I could use happens to be at school (my work). Gonna sleep now guys. Time here is 11:11pm. I really appreciate you’re trying to help me. Thanks a lot.

One last take. The one I have looks like this, with the packaging on:

good night…. :slight_smile:

you will need to host the image on a site like photobucket to post the image here.

Welcome!

The reference thread may be just what you need, but there are anonymous Chinese manufacturers in the low-end market as well.

I have here the scan of the packaging carton as well as snapshots of the light. I don’t know if I’ve done right here. I also tried my best to take a photo of the emitter which is a bit lousy….

looks like a XP-G2 to me.

I can’t tell for sure in the picture, but is the substrate (the tiny little square the LED sits on) silver or yellow?

If I understand you correctly Sir Legolas, the square where the yellow circle sits on, is somewhat “yellow”, almost “brass”…

Looks like a Samsung 3535.

I vote for a Samsung 3535 led (those are pretty good leds, the performance is not much under the XP-G2) :

you just beat me to that :-)


This is how it looks like to me as far as I was able to render it. I do not like to go as far as taking it apart. But it somewhat looks like the 3535.
