NF2W757G-MT uses the standard 757 package with new patented technology to allow the user to smoothly transition CCT's from 6,500K to 2,700K. The significant innovation is its ability to accomplish color tuning under a small, single light emitting surface (LES), thus achieving superb color uniformity with high color quality; up to 90 CRI in the popular CCT's. The 2-in-1 tunable white 757 enables thinner, sleeker optical designs, eliminating the need for bulky mixing chambers.

In addition to remarkable color, NF2W757G-MT allows users to improve operational efficiency. With performance on par with the primary 757's shipping today, the industry's #1 mid power LED, CCT can now be selected with ease at the time of assembly, shipment or installation vs. carrying inventory of multiple CCT's. This can dramatically reduce inventory complexity, lead times and cost. NF2W757G-MT will be available in multiple binning options, including 3-step only, to further simplify the implementation.

Nichia's vision, innovative passion and technical ability has led to this ground-breaking LED development. The excitement within Nichia has truly been matched by the industry over these past 2 weeks. Nichia's unveiling at LpS in Austria was met with enthusiasm and excitement from manufacturers and designers gathering to learn more, as well as recognition from LpS. Nichia received the Best Sustainability Technology Award for 2-in-1 Tunable White LED with Single LES, a back to back awards honor for Nichia (Optisolis™ received LpS Best Lighting Technology in 2018). Feedback from around the world has also been just as strong, including comments such as "This is the most exciting thing from any LED Manufacturer since CSP!!!" and "game changer for sure". Mr. Rick Earlywine, Senior Vice President of Architectural and Downlighting Solutions at Acuity Brands Lighting stated, "Nichia's 2-in-1 LED enables us to deliver a new type of fixture with leading style, performance and color quality. We are excited to be able to launch the first ever product with this breakthrough technology in our new Renna Family. Additionally, we will recognize operational benefits with up to a 90% SKU reduction, while still delivering our full line-up and service promises to our customer."

Nichia's 2-in-1 is now in production, with samples and data available through local Nichia offices. Please contact your local Nichia representative to begin changing the game.

The aging eye and its influence on melanopic effects

Kevan Shaw, Lighting Consulting and Founder of KSLD. As the owner and operator of a pair of significantly aging eyes I have a considerable interest in how this effects my visual and non visual relationship with light. As a lighting designer who has been active for 50 years, I have had the idea that yellowing of the lens degrades visual performance significantly heavily promoted. Also, the idea that simply increasing illumination levels is a panacea that universally improves vision for the aged eye is the only solution.

Beyond tunable white: spectral control for circadian lighting in healthcare

Xavier Denis, Head of Technical Support and Technical Marketing at Nichia Europe. For readers working with Human Centric Lighting (HCL), the broad principles will be familiar. Light exposure impacts more than visual performance. Healthcare is an application where its timing, intensity and spectrum deserve particular attention.

Sunlight, UVB and vitamin D – Human Centric Lighting beyond melanopic stimulation

Ir. Rémy C. Broersma and Dr. Ir. Marcel P. Lucassen, Scientists at Signify Research Eindhoven UVB radiation initiates vital processes in our body, one of which is the production of vitamin D in the skin. It is well known that over-exposure to the sun may bring a risk. Less well known is that the same is true for insufficient sun exposure due to our indoor lifestyle. In Part 1 of this article, we first describe the scientific understanding behind vitamin D. In Part 2 we describe how artificial light can be enriched with a safe, low dose of UVB, to supplement natural vitamin D production in the skin. Not too much, not too little.
