PCN No: 170

Date Issued: April 14, 2022

Notice Type: Product Discontinuation

Product Type: BLXXYY and CBXXYY

Change Notification Summary

Advanced Illumination (Ai) will be discontinuing the sale of BLXXYY and CBXXYY Backlights on October 13, 2024, and will be recommending the new BL2-XXYY Series as a replacement. The BL2-XXYY Series provides an improvement in light output, structural rigidity, emitting window uniformity, and efficiency, at no additional cost over the original BLXXYY and CBXXYY designs. However, note that the replacement BL2-XXYY mechanical design is approximately 1/4" larger in length and width for an equivalent emitting window size configuration. This difference in size should be considered during assembly mounting planning for replacements.

Please contact our sales department if you have any questions or concerns.
