Lumileds adds new high power Horticulture and stadium LEDs
Introduces SunPlus HPE deep-red LED and HL2Z un-domed CSP single-sided LED
Lumileds has announced two new LEDs. The first is the Luxeon SunPlus HPE, a high power, deep-red (660nm) LED designed specifically for the horticulture lighting industry. The second is the Luxeon HL2Z, an un-domed, CSP, single-sided, high-power LED for stadium lighting that delivers more than 315 lumens and more than 160 lumens per Watt from a compact 2.3mm square package that is just 0.36mm high.
Luxeon SunPlus HPE is is said to achieve the highest PPF and PPE from its industry standard 3.5mm square ceramic package. The new deep-red LED is part of the SunPlus horticulture portfolio that covers a broad range of wavelengths and colors, including white, purple, and lime, in a variety of mid-power, high-power, and CoB packages which offers flexibility to growers to create a specific Lighting mix required for various types of crops to give growers the edge.
“Much of the horticulture market is adopting solutions that use a mix of white and deep-red LEDs,” said LP Liew, senior product marketing Manager at Lumileds. “The new Luxeon SunPlus delivers top notch performance. And it’s available with extremely short lead-times. At the end of the day, it’s the highest performing LED and its shipping.”
Luxeon SunPlus HPE has the robustness to stand up to harsh horticulture environments and deliver the longevity expected of all Luxeon LEDs. It pairs exceptionally well with our High efficacy Luxeon SunPlus 3030 and 5050 LEDs, the two most commonly deployed white LEDs. This white and deep-red horticulture combination can significantly drive down the system cost and reduce operating costs due to the solution’s superior efficacy.
The Luxeon SunPlus HPE with its industry standard package has various off-the-shelf optical solutions available to enable designers to select the right viewing angles to achieve the appropriate intensity of Light for the crops. Luxeon SunPlus is a single portfolio engineered to address the full breadth of horticulture lighting applications.
HL2Z Stadium Lighting
The Luxeon HL2Z has already been adopted by M3 Innovation, whose MAKO Sports Lighting Solution (pictured above) uses the Luxeon HL2Z to deliver 150,000 lumens from each of its modules designed to illuminate athletic fields, parks, stadium fields and other outdoor facilities. “With Luxeon HL2Z we were able to completely re-think what can be achieved in a sports lighting solution, the power, optical control, and design possibilities are what made the MAKO disruptive in the market” said Joe Casper, executive officer at M3 Innovation.
“Customers that are engineering street lights, stadium lights and other high luminance directional applications benefit from an un-domed source as it makes it easier to increase optical efficiency and to realize narrow beam angles and complex light distributions,” said Alvin Yeoh, product manager. “With Luxeon HL2Z, everything from array configuration design to DLC qualification is simplified and system costs can be lower by 20 percent or more.
In addition to the available LM80 data, rayset data and visual inspection prove the excellence of Luxeon HL2Z’s colour consistency across the beam enabling it to support high quality illumination indoors or outdoors. Luxeon HL2Z is specified for R9≥ 40 for 70CRI, R9 ≥ 0 for its 80CRI, and R9 ≥ 50 for 90CRI parts meaning that solutions with Luxeon HL2Z can qualify for DLC Standard or Premium listing.
