LUXEON K LEDs for downlighting
The arrays are engineered to support rapid development of downlight and retrofit bulb solutions where quality of light and efficacy are essential
Philips Lumileds LUXEON K's illumination grade array charts a new direction for downlights and retrofit bulbs.
The firm says they make solutions able to come to market more quickly and at a price that drives market adoption.
LUXEON K arrays
LUXEON K arrays provide thousands of lumens of light output and will be available in three different CCTs with a typical CRI of 85, and with five configurations of 4-24 emitters per array, in early Q2 of this year.
“LUXEON K extends our portfolio of illumination grade LEDs engineered to optimise end-user satisfaction of specific applications,” said Rahul Bammi, VP Marketing at Philips Lumileds. “For downlights and retrofit bulbs, LUXEON K provides a unique approach that delivers the highest, most consistent quality of light in an easy-to-implement array. Our hot testing and specification at 85°C, and freedom from colour, flux, and Vf binning, makes LUXEON K the simplest of LEDs to specify and use.”
With a CCT of 2700K, 3000K and 4000K, the LUXEON K has a guaranteed minimum CRI of 80 and is typically 85. The typical flux at 700 mA is 620 to 4455 lumens. At 350 mA, Tj at 85°C and 3000K CCT, the LED emits over 100 lumens per Watt.
With hot testing and specification at 85°C, the modules have freedom from binning in a single 3-step MacAdam Ellipse colour space. The LEDs have no flux bins and no Vf bins.
Companies interested in LUXEON K can receive updates on availability, sampling, and specifications by sending an email to Philips Lumileds LUXEON@Philips.com or by contacting Future Lighting Solutions, LUXEON@futurelightingsolutions.com. The new LUXEON LED will be exhibited at Philips Lumileds booth, #619, at Strategies in Light opening February 7 in Santa Clara, California.
