Lumileds LUXEON S Delivers Punch & Colour Quality at 1300 Lumens
The company hopes the LUXEON S will be the major replacement for halogen and CDM bulbs, offering better light, longer life, and higher efficacy.
Philips Lumileds is debuting its LUXEON S LEDs at the Strategies in Light and Euroshopconferences this week.
At EuroShop, LUXEON S will be shown in Fortimo solutions from Philips long with other products targeted at the retail and hospitality lighting segments.
Designed with retail spot and down lighting in mind, LUXEON S enables simple, effective, and efficient lighting. Retail lighting is intended to highlight the most important products, make merchandise stand out and shine, and create an environment that entices and comforts shoppers. The LUXEON S supports all these objectives and reduces energy consumption and costs.
“LUXEON S breaks new ground not just for Lumileds but for the entire LED industry,” said Frank Harder, VP Marketing LUXEON Product Lines. “The design of this product from the Thin Film Flip Chip and Lumiramic phosphor to the tight alignment between the 9 LED die in the package contribute to the colour performance, industry leading flux density, and punch unique to LUXEON S. In addition, by hot testing at 85C and achieving Freedom From Binning, we continue to move closer to the lighting industry in language and expectations for LUXEON performance.”
Lumileds claims the colour quality and beam uniformity from LUXEON S is unsurpassed by any other comparable LED available today. It’s the firm’s first Freedom From Binning LED, meaning that there are no colour bin selections to be made.
With a correlated colour temperature of 3000K and a CRI >80, all LUXEON S emitters are targeted to the black body curve and populate an area within a 3 step MacAdam Ellipse. The result is improved uniformity and consistency within the light beam and between emitters.
The 1300 “hot” lumens LUXEON S delivers come from a very small optical source that enables a 10° beam from a compact reflector less than 50 mm in diameter. In a retail spot or down light the result is tight, sharp beams that deliver Punch (high centre beam intensity with beam uniformity and a crisp single shadow), that highlights and gives depth to objects that are being illuminated.
LUXEON S is available immediately for prototyping and development from Philips Lumileds and Future
