1.8RD

1.8RD (Radial Discharge), also known as edgelighting, is one of the most common types of LED indication used in the industry. It is used to enhance the aesthetic appeal of a product and is typically found in indicators, switches, buttons, and other visual interface components. As such, it is considered to be one of the most effective visual communication tools available.

1.8RD LEDs are typically composed of a lens with a flat, radial face, which is mounted on a printed circuit board (PCB). The lens surface contains a series of concentric circles that work together to create a soft, uniform lighting effect when illuminated. The light source is typically a single high-power LED, usually with a concentrated beam of light that is directed towards the lens surface. This allows for the light to be evenly distributed across the entire lens surface.

The working principle of a 1.8RD LED is fairly simple. When the LED chip is powered, it emits a concentrated light that is focused onto the lens surface. The shapes of the concentric circles act as blinding and scattering patterns, diffusing the light evenly across the entire lens surface while creating a soft, uniform visual effect. In addition, the lens surface often contains a reflector to further enhance the brightness and uniformity of the light.

1.8RD LEDs are often used in a variety of applications, including switches, buttons, indicators, indicator lights, and lighted panel faces. These applications require a high degree of brightness and uniformity in order to be effective. By using a 1.8RD LED, these applications benefit from the uniformity of the lens surface, which helps improve user experience and visibility. In addition, the long lifetime of 1.8RD LEDs further adds to its attractiveness by allowing for long-term operation with minimal maintenance.

The 1.8RD LED is a versatile, cost-effective way to provide visual feedback in a wide variety of applications. With its simple working principle and robust construction, it can provide uniform illumination when used in combination with other lighting technologies. Moreover, its long lifetime and low energy consumption makes it ideal for energy-conscious applications. As such, it is one of the most popular types of lighting solutions for a wide range of applications.
