The MEL (Micro Effects Light) is a series of simple low cost LED light sources
with a built in DC barrel type connector. The 2.1 x 5.5mm barrel connector is
very common for many low voltage DC power applications simplifying the building
of a micro effects lighting system in a modular fashion. The MEL operates from
9 – 12 volts DC which allows a simple effects system operating from a 9 volt
battery possible. More complex systems with numerous micro effects lights are
possible from a 12 volt DC power source. Lighting systems can range from a
single MEL to over 100 MELs depending on the complexity of a lighting project.
The MEL is optimized for high light output at 9 volts DC with a nominal power
of 0.18 watts operating at 20ma ref. With an input of 12 volts, a power
consumption of 0.34 watts is typical, operating at 28ma ref. With input higher
than 12 volts there is a diminishing light output due to thermal loading of the
LED. The MEL is dimmable by either PWM (Pulse Width Modulation) type dimmers or
with variable voltage input from 7 – 12 volts DC. The MEL can be made with pure
fully saturated LED colors and with phosphor converted colors for a wide color
gamut. The LED lens is water clear with a 30 degree output angle for a narrow
beam.
The MEL may be operated from a 9 volt battery for portable applications. When
using a 9 volt battery it is recommended that the number of MELs does not
exceed six in order to limit the load current to about 120ma for battery life.
The MEL is equipped with a barrel connector type DC power jack to mate with a
plug of the same type. The MEL uses a positive center power connection.
The axial body of the MEL LED is of a small size and molded in black ABS
resin. The MEL body overall length is 1.42” (36mm) and the diameter is 0.48”
12.2mm) nominal.
