Extend the service life of your LEDs
Long-term storage of LED chips in dry storage cabinets requires the utmost care and technical precision. Chips 4 Light offers specially developed storage solutions that reliably reduce moisture, oxidation, and aging to a minimum—ideal for customers with long-term needs, longer development cycles, or series production with regular call-off requirements.
Controlled storage conditions:
- Our dry storage cabinets maintain a constant humidity level of less than 1%—ideal for long-term storage and maximum protection against oxidation.
- Residue-free repackaging:
Before storage, we sort Blue Foil chips into waffle packs—this keeps the backs clean, bondable, and ready for die bonding. - On-demand retrieval:
Customers can retrieve their stored chips on a project-specific and flexible basis – ideal for just-in-time processes without investing in their own storage technology. - Long-term supply security:
Whether for medical, industrial, or lighting applications, we ensure your chip availability for years to come, structured and individually tailored to your requirements.

At Chips 4 Light, we have the equipment to precisely sort the required quantity in the required specification on film, gel or waffle pack with our LED chip sorters. - Long-term storage
In our dry storage cabinet we store LED chips professionally in gel- or waffle-pack for a longer period of time to support the project runtimes of our customers.
Frequently asked questions
Chips 4 Light prefers to use waffle pack packaging for the long-term storage of LED chips. This type of packaging has proven to be particularly suitable for storing sensitive optoelectronic components such as LED chips. The chips are placed in precisely manufactured plastic trays with integrated pockets, which enable uniform positioning and safe handling. In combination with a dry storage cabinet that maintains a humidity level of less than 1%, this creates optimal conditions for sustainably preventing moisture and the resulting damage or defects.
Improper storage methods significantly increase the risk of contamination, e.g., from adhesive residues on the back. Under these technical conditions, the LED chips retain their longevity, electrical properties, and full efficiency in light output—even over many years. This makes this solution ideal for the development of long-lasting applications or for use in module-based systems with high quality standards. The prepared storage in wafer packaging also supports subsequent automated assembly or further processing—a clear economic advantage.
Chips 4 Light ensures the long-term storability of LED chips through a comprehensive and precisely coordinated storage concept. In specially developed dry storage cabinets, humidity is kept below 1% and constantly monitored – a proven measure for protecting sensitive components. In addition, the chips are repackaged before storage to keep them completely protected from contamination and adhesive residues. This ensures that even assembled chips remain stable in storage throughout the entire duration of a project.
For projects with regular requirements, Chips 4 Light offers individual storage quotas that are available on demand – a practical unit for flexible production processes. Storage immediately after delivery from the manufacturer is possible without any problems and is particularly recommended for series production. This allows LED chips to be stored efficiently and securely in a central warehouse. Ideal for customers with high quality standards and long-term planning.
With Chips 4 Light, stored LED chips can be retrieved flexibly on demand – entirely according to the customer's needs. No fixed call-off schedule is required. Instead, project-related stock quotas are set up, from which customers can retrieve their components at any time – ideal for series production, development phases, or modular assemblies.
This flexible organization allows different batches to be used at different times, for example when different sizes, specifications, or chip types are required in a project. Combination with services such as die sorting, measurement, or bonding is also possible – ensuring a seamless transition between withdrawal and further processing.
A particular advantage is that even under demanding conditions in terms of temperature, environmental conditions, or light intensity, the chips remain available in consistently high quality. Whether for prototypes, lighting series, or special lamp applications, Chips 4 Light's on-demand warehousing adapts precisely to the project structure used and offers maximum supply security.

Yes, storage at Chips 4 Light is specially designed for long-term projects with multiple call-off batches. Customers benefit from structured and traceable storage of their LED chips, which is managed on a project-by-project basis – ideal for series production or development cycles with recurring material requirements.
Precise documentation ensures that every size, batch, and package can be accurately identified and retrieved. Whether different specifications of an LED chip or exactly identical components are required over a period of years, the system guarantees consistent availability in consistent quality.
This is a decisive advantage for long-planned applications with sensitive components, e.g., in medical technology, industry, or electronics. Especially for product series with defined light parameters or thermal stability, chips can be purchased multiple times from stock and used in devices in the same way. This is how we ensure a reliable supply of your desired light source, regardless of time or technological changes.
Yes, stored LED chips can be processed directly at Chips 4 Light at any time – quickly, precisely, and without additional logistical effort. Thanks to integrated processes, our services are immediately available.
The relatively short response time enables efficient adaptation to production requirements – for example, when assembling individual light sources, test samples, or small series. The stored, available chip is transferred directly to the corresponding processing step – whether on a circuit board, module, or heat sink. The use of special packaging types (e.g., waffle packs instead of blue foil) ensures that the back of the LED remains permanently clean and bondable – a decisive advantage in further processing.
This means that even products with low tolerances or special semiconductor properties can be processed reliably – such as LED chips with defined heat dissipation for luminaires, lamps, or high-performance light modules.
If you are looking for uncompromising quality, technical precision, and maximum process reliability for the long-term storage of LED chips, Chips 4 Light is the right choice for you. Our specially designed dry storage cabinets with less than 1% humidity create ideal conditions for the long-term preservation of sensitive opto-semiconductors—without any risk of moisture, oxidation, or material aging.
Our optional repackaging service in waffle packs helps to reliably prevent adhesive residue and ensures that your LED chips are ready for processing at any time. Whether for series production, research, or long-term projects, with us you retain full control – and your components remain available at all times.
As an ISO 9001-certified company with many years of experience, we offer not only storage, but also measurement, sorting, bonding for prototype quantities, and delivery from a single source. For you, this means less effort, more planning security, and a partnership that thinks ahead. Chips 4 Light – your first choice for professional long-term storage of LED chips.
