Providing a smaller and more efficient replacement for the xenon lights used in small digital cameras and camera phones, the FCW211Z Series LED photoflash lamp delivers up to 100 candelas at 2 A and can provide a flash with a light energy of 26.49 lux/s. In addition to being smaller at 3.5 x 3.0 x 0.75-mm, the SMT device also has an operating lifetime up to twice that of xenon lamps.

Another major advantage to LED flash over xenon is the ability to take pictures faster with shorter intervals as an LED does not require a charge capacitor to operate as a xenon bulb.
