Uniform Dimming and Reduced Costs and Complexity with LUXEON 2835 Commercial Deep Dimming
Visual uniformity to 1% dimming and simplified driver selection reduce costs and improve linear application performance.
Published by LED professional ·
Lumileds has released its latest LED engineered for deep dimming applications, the LUXEON 2835 Commercial Deep Dimming. The new 2835 LED offers the industry’s most consistent dimming performance down to 1% dimming. With a Vf range of just 0.05 split into two Vf bins of 0.025, customers no longer need to engage in complex binning processes, costly driver compatibility design, or burdensome testing.
The new LUXEON 2835 Commercial Deep Dimming LEDs are designed for LED-to-LED flux uniformity across the entire dimming curve – down to 1% – that is required to achieve consistent visual performance. From full intensity – 38.6lm@65mA – to 1% intensity at 0.65mA, every LED will provide the same flux performance in the application. Lumileds advances allow for a forward voltage variance of just 0.05V which simplifies driver design and compatibility. End users benefit from Lumileds’ innovation because uniform 1% light levels can be achieved without undesirable light flicker.
“Our Innovation and effort to resolve inconsistent flux performance issues at the LED level eliminates the need for luminaire manufacturers to develop workarounds at the manufacturing level, said Mei Yi, Director of Product Marketing at Lumileds. With LUXEON 2835 Commercial Deep Dimming, luminaire manufacturers no longer need to add components or manage LED selection from the bins they receive. Both workarounds add cost, complexity, and time to the manufacturing process. Now, we provide consistent flux performance across the dimming range directly at the LED level.”
LUXEON 2835 Commercial Deep Dimming LEDs are split into two forward voltage bins, each with a range of just 0.025V allowing for the most consistent dimming performance and a significantly simpler design effort.
LUXEON 2835 Commercial Deep Dimming is available in CCTs 2700K – 6500K, CRIs of 70, 80, and 90, and with an efficacy range of 178lm/W to 231lm/W. LUXEON 2835 Commercial Deep Dimming, as well as standard LUXEON 2835 Commercial, LUXEON 2835 Architectural, and LUXEON 2835 Color Line, are available through Lumileds’ distribution network.
