Lumileds announced that it has considerably improved the flux across its color LED family. Performance improvements to the flagship Luxeon C color line includes 20% higher lumen output in its Green and Cyan compared to the previous generation; the Red-Orange features a 12% flux increase, and the Red an 8 % flux increase. “As the demands on our customer’s fixtures become more challenging, we need to ensure our Color portfolio enables them to meet these demands. This increase in flux across several key colors will give our customers a significant boost in performance in existing designs as well as allow them to start from a higher level of performance in new designs,” said Jennifer Holland, Product Line Director.
Specifically engineered for color mixing through its standard focal length, the color line is suited for use in architectural, stage lighting, emergency vehicle lighting, and color tunable lamps and fixtures. All of the line’s LEDs are hot tested at 85°C to ensure excellent performance at application conditions. Its thermal resistance, the lowest in the industry at 2.8°C/W, also helps reduce heat sink cost—or allows LEDs to be driven harder for higher output than is achieved with a competitor’s LEDs.
Extending these performance upgrades to other lines within the Luxeon Color LED family, the company is also excited to announce 20 % flux improvements for the Green and Cyan colors on the Z color line and Rebel color line.
