Edmund Optics® Expands Off-the-Shelf Portfolio with SMT-Ready LumenFlow Surface-Mount Optics

Edmund Optics®, a leading global provider of optical and imaging technology solutions, has expanded its off-the-shelf product portfolio with LumenFlow Surface-Mount Optics, giving engineers easier access to SMT-compatible and heat-resistant LED optics for prototyping, evaluation, and PCB integration.

Available in both single-unit and reel quantities, the optics eliminate the large minimum order quantities often associated with SMT-compatible optical components, helping engineers move more quickly from evaluation to integration. Designed for standard pick-and-place assembly workflows, the optics feature integrated solder pads and tape-and-reel packaging for reliable PCB assembly and precise optic-to-LED alignment without secondary mounting hardware, adhesives, or manual alignment steps.

LumenFlow’s patented silicone compound optics deliver durable performance, precise beam shaping, and greater than 90% optical efficiency from UV-A through near-infrared wavelengths. Unlike conventional thermoplastic optics, the silicone-based optics maintain optical and mechanical performance under high-temperature reflow conditions, prolonged UV exposure, and harsh operating environments. This makes them particularly attractive for thermally demanding applications or near heat-generating sources.

With off-the-shelf availability, fast global delivery, and expert technical support, Edmund Optics® helps customers simplify optical development and accelerate integration of SMT-compatible optical technologies.
