Mouser Electronics, Inc. announced it has become the distributor of the industry’s first starboard light engines from Bivar, a leading specialty provider of LED indication products.

Bivar L2 Starboard Light Engines with Cree XLamp LEDs are the first light engines available in the industry to offer Cree's XLamp LEDs on a starboard. All products in this new family are optimized for high output, high color rendering index (CRI) and uniformity, making them ideal for directional lighting applications in both indoor and outdoor environments.

The L2 family features Cree's XLamp design, which provides efficient, environmentally-friendly LED lighting and high light output in a small form factor. Additionally, the L2 family has a unique case temperature test point for engineers to confirm the effectiveness of their thermal management, while maximizing the luminous output with the junction temperature under control. Optional pin headers allow for quick hook-up, thus eliminating the delicate soldering process.
