Dual In-Line Package (DIP) chips were used in some of the first general illumination LEDs. The chip is encased in hard plastic with 2 straight parallel connecting pins. The epoxy covering focuses the light produced to a beam angle of approximately 60˚ or 45˚. Although DIP chips are still used today, they have a much lower efficiency than the newer LED chips. Delivering approximately 4 lumens per LED, they individually pull between 0.05 and 0.08 watts to generate between 35 and 80 lumens per watt. DIP have suffered from inherent heat management problems
