How to choose high-performance LED diodes for industrial, decorative, or specialized applications? Discover what makes Refond stand out – technology, precision, and design flexibility all in one.
High-Performance Refond LED Diodes – Quality and Technology in Practice. Interview with the Product Manager
Refond Optoelectronics is a leading LED manufacturer, present on the market since 2000. The company delivers solutions for general, industrial, decorative, and specialized lighting – including UV, IR, and Mini LED. Refond is known for quality, a broad product range, and flexible design options. This makes it a strong partner for advanced lighting projects.
We talk to Natalia Kleist – Product Manager at our company – about what distinguishes Refond and how to make the most of its potential.
Why choose Refond LED diodes?
What makes Refond’s LED solutions stand out from the competition?
Natalia Kleist: Above all – a wide range of practical features and solid quality. Refond offers a broad selection – from low-brightness decorative LEDs to high-performance 5W components for industry, such as the EMC5050.
Refond LEDs offer luminous efficacy of up to 250 lm/W, placing the brand among the market leaders. The portfolio includes a full color temperature range – from warm to cool white – and various color rendering indexes (CRI), including very high values like 95. Refond also provides SDCM5 binning with additional kit options, ensuring color consistency close to SDCM3 – ideal where uniformity is essential.
How to select the right LED for your project?
Selecting LED sources is not just about catalog specs. What do you focus on when planning an application?
I always take a holistic approach – from supply voltage and current to the operating environment and aesthetic aspects. Refond offers great flexibility – the available solutions range from 3V to 30V, making them suitable for both simple modules and complex lighting systems.
Operation optimization is also important – the same unit can operate with different efficiency depending on the current used.
In applications requiring high light quality, key factors include proper color temperature (CCT), CRI, and color consistency (binning and SDCM).
Construction matters too – Refond offers ceramic, EMC, and PCT packages, selected based on conditions like humidity, sulfur exposure, UV radiation, and high temperature.
Refond vs. the competition
How does Refond compare to top global brands?
Refond performs very well compared to leading brands – especially in terms of price-to-performance ratio. Refond products match the quality and efficiency of market leaders but cost 20–30% less.
Refond’s portfolio is constantly expanding – including Flip Chip, Mini/Micro LED, UV, RGB, horticulture solutions, and deep dimming models. Additionally, the manufacturer allows customization – from BIN selection, voltage, and CRI to package type and tailored binning on request.
What does KSF technology bring to LED diodes?
What makes Refond’s KSF implementation unique?
KSF (Potassium Fluorosilicate) technology is based on an advanced type of red phosphor that significantly improves light quality and efficiency. It emits in the visible spectrum (~631 nm), minimizing energy losses caused by infrared emission.
The result? Up to several percent more visible light without compromising color accuracy.
The narrow emission band doesn’t interfere with phosphor conversion, boosting overall efficiency. Refond offers versions with very high CRI and excellent R9 and R12 values – ideal for medical, photographic, or retail lighting.
Color stability is another strength – low color drift (Δx/Δy) ensures consistent performance even when dimmed. Additional protections such as core-shell structures and special coatings make Refond KSF LEDs highly durable – even in demanding conditions.
Who are Refond solutions best suited for?
Who should consider Refond for their projects?
Refond is the ideal choice for lighting designers seeking modern, flexible, and reliable LED solutions – combining high quality and affordability without compromise. It’s perfect for projects requiring precision, consistency, and customizable parameters. As an experienced distributor, we’ve seen growing interest in this brand – and we understand why.
