Product Information

Marktech Optoelectronics is excited to showcase its diverse array of CREE LED through-hole products designed to cater to the varied needs of modern industries. Our offerings are unparalleled from the standard round and oval CREE LED through-hole LEDs to specialized or multi-color (multi-wavelength) assemblies. With the proper combination of LEDs, older, less efficient light sources can be replaced with a more efficient, longer-life LED-based product. These upgrades and optimizations made possible using CREE LED products occur in general indoor and outdoor lighting applications and more signage, displays, spectroscopy, machine vision illumination, single-use medical devices, and other demanding applications.

Our LEDs come in white, warm white, and a vibrant palette of colors, including amber (DWL 591nm), blue (DWL 470nm), green (DWL 527nm), and red (DWL 624nm), ensuring adaptability to a plethora of applications. The viewing angles range from 15 to 115 degrees, with luminous intensities available from 780mcd up to 50,000 mcd.

Our CREE LED lamps boast superior high-temperature and moisture-resistance performance thanks to the advanced optical-grade epoxy used in their construction. This resilience is critical for outdoor signal and sign applications, where durability is paramount in direct sunlight and varying weather conditions. Specifically, the oval LEDs are designed for outdoor applications like variable-message and passenger-information signs, offering a wide viewing angle and exceptional readability in sunlight.
