Luminus’ Customer Martin Professional Wins 2010 Danish Industry Prize
The new MAC 350 Entour used in entertainment lighting features award-winning Luminus PhlatLight LEDs.
Luminus Devices, developer and manufacturer of big-chip PhlatLight LEDs, has announced that its CBT-90 white PhlatLight LEDs are powering Martin Professional’s new MAC 350 Entour luminaire.
The MAC 350 Entour is the entertainment lighting industry’s first LED alternative to traditional high intensity discharge (HID)-based profile fixtures. It exceeds traditional 300 watt HID fixtures in brightness and comes equipped with seven CBT-90 white big-chip LEDs and has a total light output of 8,000 lumens and a lifespan of more than 25,000 hours. These light levels were previously achieved only with high energy discharge lamps.
“We are extremely happy to win the prestigious Danish Industry Award and the unparalleled levels of brightness and energy-efficiency in PhlatLight LEDs give Martin Professional the ability to develop new, more cost-effective entertainment industry based lights that are ideal for a host of temporary and permanent environments,” said Christian Engsted, CEO of Martin Professional. “We look forward to developing a wide range of next-generation products utilizing Luminus’ big-chip LEDs.”
The MAC 350 Entour is well suited for touring and event environments, and permanent venues such as theatres, TV and broadcast studios, sporting arenas, education facilities, night clubs, ballrooms and cruise ships, where high-brightness and performance is needed. Until now, profile lights have used traditional HID lamps that are costly to replace, contain mercury and have a life span of only 3,000 hours, necessitating frequent replacement.
“Congratulations to Martin Professional on winning a top industry award for its new MAC 350 Entour. They are a great company with great products and we are honored to be part of their lighting solutions,” said Keith T.S. Ward, president and CEO, Luminus Devices. “Luminus’ big-chip LEDs offer unmatched brightness, lower overall cost and its 8,000 lumens of total output are the highest in the industry today.”
Luminus Devices develops and manufactures high performance solid-state light sources – PhlatLight LEDs - for a variety of lighting applications. Its headquarters and primary manufacturing facilities are located in Billerica, Massachusetts, U.S.A.
