OMC LED's

OMC LED\'s

The following is a direct quote from the OMC (UK) website:

"Now available at the same cost as conventional high efficiency LED's.
Up to 10 times the brightness or down to 1/10th of the drive current from the same device.
Superior uniformity and better reliability than AlGaAs ultra bright devices.
Standard colours available, plus ultra bright white and ultra bright blue.
These are genuine next generation LED products which incorporate micron plus LED semiconductors that start to give a useable light output at around ½mA drive current and the same light output at around 2-5mA as conventional high efficiency types give at 20mA!"

Does anyone have any information about these LED's? Do they perform as advertised? What are they?

Re: OMC LED\'s

I can't directly answer your questions, but I did find this sentence near the end of their long on words but short on details description of the product:

The company is at pains to emphasise that the white & blue devices compare very favourably in respect of performance, with the best Japanese brands, but at lower cost.

<font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial">Sounds like they're saying they are roughly as bright as Nichia but cheaper. Sounds like Cree dice?
