June 23, 2010... Avago Technologies of San Jose, California USA, announced that its 5mm high-brightness LED lamps support th European Standard EN 12966-1 for variable message traffic signs. The company's new LED products to support the variable message traffic sign requirements for 15 degree and 30 degree viewing angles are the HLMP-Ex1A/1B-xxxDV (15 degrees) and HLMP-Ex3A/3B-xxxDV (30 degrees). These 5 mm extra bright LEDs have minimum luminous intensity ratings of 12,000 mcd and 5,500 mcd respectively and are available in red and amber colors.

Different sign applications require different viewing angle of the LEDs. Signs installed on highways, for example, require bright LEDs with a narrow beam width, but in cities with a requirement for short distance legibility a wide beam width LED is usually required.

According to Avago, outdoor message signs must typically operate for over ten years in a harsh, corrosive, and exposed working environment. Avago’s new, robust 15 and 30 degree viewing angle lamps are manufactured for outdoor signal and sign applications.
