Furthermore, LED lighting is not limited to traditional applications and is driving progress in many sectors. Dynamic arrays and animation solutions are being used in industrial and smart home devices to provide visual information. In the sports and health sectors, LEDs play a crucial role in the optical monitoring of vital signs in smartwatches and other wearable devices. As a result, the use of LEDs has become widespread, and for many projects, they are an essential electronic component.

Among the new featured LEDs available through Mouser are the following:

The LUXEON 2835 commercial medium-wattage LEDs are designed for indoor commercial lighting solutions, ideal for applications where the main development metrics are lumens per watt and lumens per cost. The LUXEON 2835 range offers best-in-class flux, color uniformity, robustness, and reliability for indoor commercial lighting, while its industry-standard size allows for easy replacement. With a wide range of correlated color temperatures (CCTs) and color rendering indices (CRIs) available, the 2835 line is ideal for applications such as light panels/soft lights, linear lighting applications, and diffusers. All 2835 LEDs are RoHS compliant and offer illumination with a wide 160° total beam angle.

Thanks to their compact size and versatile design, Kingbright's APBA2006 bi-color right-angle SMD LEDs are suitable for a wide range of applications, including backlighting, status indicators, household appliances, and smart wearable devices such as medical devices. These SMD LEDs feature low power consumption, high-intensity bi-color output, and a robust design, with an operating temperature range of -40 to +85°C and a humidity sensitivity level of 3. These bi-color right-angle SMD LEDs are available in five different color combinations, are halogen-free, RoHS compliant, and offer a wide 140° viewing angle from the side emitters.

The MULTILED® SFH 7018x from ams OSRAM is designed to be compatible with the rapidly growing digital diagnostic and smart health wearable devices. Featuring a state-of-the-art three-in-one multi-emitter, the SFH 7018x enables accurate and reliable monitoring of heart rate and oxygen saturation levels at green, red, and infrared wavelengths. The sophisticated two-cavity design minimizes interference between the green, red, and infrared chips, and allows for optimal placement of the light sources relative to their respective photodiodes. Two RoHS-compliant variants are available, with the SFH 7018A optimized for low forward voltage at high current.

The Texas Instruments LP5813 4×3 matrix RGB LED driver is a synchronous drive RGB controller with independent animation engine control. The LP5813 is designed for LED animation and indication in devices ranging from portable and wearable electronics to smart devices and industrial HMIs. The integrated synchronous drive converter ensures high efficiency and consistent LED brightness across a wide operating voltage range, supporting forward LED voltages from 3 to 5.5 V in 0.1 V increments. The standalone animation engine can reduce the load on the controller in real time. Each LED can be individually programmed to create vivid and dynamic lighting effects, with the option to synchronize these effects across multiple devices.
