		Panel Mount LED Assemblies offer color adjustment capability. Dec 30, 2009 Intended for commercial and industrial machinery, 3-lead common cathode, bi-color PM5-3 Series provides multi-color status indication and multiple configuration choices, including stripped wires and 0.100 in. pitch 3-pin connector. White diffused lens appearance offers wide viewing angle and uniform indication.

		Bivar launches new 3 lead, Bi-Color panel mount LED assembly for LED indication in commercial and industrial machinery Dec 16, 20/09 The first in a line of bi-color LED assemblies, the new PM5-3 series extends Bivar's existing panel mount assembly product line, and features input driven color adjustment capabilities to address the growing demand for enhanced LED indication in a wide variety of commercial and industrial machinery.

		Flexible Light Pipe System Oct 22, 2009 Bivar has announced a 2-mm core plastic optical fiber flexible light pipe system. It offers a variety of lens cap indicators and LED adapters that provide good viewing angles, light diffusion and intensity. The LED indication upgrade is suitable for outdoor and rugged applications that require greater brightness and light transfer capacity, a sturdy design and more flexibility.

		Lighting and concept designers: New, bendable LED tube is a technology waiting for an application Oct 8, 2009 …"Design engineers love the concept of this product," said Mike Finn, Bivar's vice president of sales and marketing. "We are enabling them to place their printed circuit board assembly a significant distance away from the required light output while empowering them to be creative in their designs. With our new series, design engineers are not confined by the limitations of a rigid light pipe solution; they can easily redesign a product and adjust the light source accordingly by simply changing the length to meet the new specifications of their product."

		New Flexible Light Pipe System From Bivar Enhances Indication for Rugged Applications Oct 7, 2009 By: Kerry Ko Bivar announced the first offering in the new Bivar plastic optical fiber (POF) Light Pipe System series, a 2mm core flexible light pipe solution. The new flexible light pipe system offers a variety of lens cap indicators and LED adaptors that provide exceptional viewing angles, light diffusion and intensity. The new light pipe system from Bivar is an ideal LED indication upgrade solution for outdoor and rugged applications, which require greater brightness and light transfer capacity, sturdy design and more flexibility.

		Orca LED offers highest light output Apr 9, 2009 The Orca LEDs from Bivar feature the optimum flux and intensity that offers the highest light output available. The LED is suitable for use in vehicle brake lights, decorative interior or exterior lighting, specialty stage lighting, or a multicolored signage. It offers four viewing angles at 45, 80, 160 degrees, and 30 x 45-degree oval projection, giving a wide variety of choices and versatility in design of creative lighting products. Because of its four-pin lead-frame design, it has the ruggedness to withstand the ultimate of any abrasive surroundings.

		LEDs Boost Efficiency And Intensity Feb 5, 2009 The ORCA series Super Flux LEDs for use on standard printed-circuit boards replaces the MAKO product family and enhances its capabilities with greater luminous intensity, higher power efficiency, and additional lens configurations while maintaining a standard 7.6-mm square form factor. The components are available in standard colors of red, green, blue, yellow, and white and also includes three bi-color combinations and RGB. The red and yellow ORCAs are compatible with SAE and ECE color requirements.

		Super Flux LEDs Target Automotive PCBs Feb 4, 2009 Replacing the MAKO product family, Bivar’s ORCA Series super flux LEDs are designed for use on standard printed circuit boards (PCBs) for the automotive industry. The 7.6-mm² devices offer dome, oval, and flat lens geometries to provide viewing angles of 30°, 45°, 80°, and 160°. The components shine in red, green, blue, yellow, and white and include 3 bi-color combinations and RGB. The units endure for up to 100,000 hours, are compatible with SAE and ECE color requirements, and operate in LED signage and signal, industrial illumination, and decorative and specialty market applications.
