PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
Round LEDs offer superior light output
for excellent readability in sunlight and
dependable performance. They provide
extremely stable light output over long
periods of time.
These lamps are made with an ad-
vanced optical-grade epoxy offering
superior high-temperature and high-
moisture-resistance performance in
lighting and illumination applications.
This product utilizes an epoxy contain-
ing a UV inhibitor. It therefore provides
a UV resistance and can be used in out-
door applications.
