Luminus Devices Introduces Two New White PhlatLight LED Products for Lighting Applications
Luminus Devices, Inc., today announced the introduction of the CSM-360-W PhlatLight® LED, designed specifically for general lighting applications, and the SST-50 White PhlatLight® LED, the first 5.5W monolithic large-chip LED in a surface-mount (SMT) package.
CSM-360 White PhlatLight LED:
Luminus Devices, Inc., today announced the introduction of the CSM-360-W PhlatLight® LED, the newest in a series of white LEDs designed specifically for general lighting applications. The CSM-360-W combines the benefits of large monolithic chips in a multi-chip configuration to deliver a Chip-on-Board LED package capable of delivering 6,000 lumens. This new class of LEDs enables a variety of lighting applications not previously possible with traditional LEDs, and as a result fixture manufacturers are now able to target 10,000 lumens and higher applications with as few as two PhlatLight LED packages.
“The CSM-360-W has a lumen output range that provides industry-leading efficiency and delivers a new level of performance not previously realized in a single LED package,” said Chad Stalker, Director of Product Marketing and Business Development for the Lighting Business Group at Luminus Devices. “In addition to the PhlatLight LED benefits of simplified fixture design with fewer LEDs and corresponding optics and drivers, the CSM-360-W also provides a package platform making it possible to service and upgrade the LED itself instead of replacing the whole fixture.”
The CSM-360-W is unique in several ways. It consists of four separate monolithic chips, each with a light-emitting surface of nine square millimeters in size, closely packed in a single Chip-on-Board package. The CSM-360-W produces over 3,600 lumens at high efficacy and over 6,000 lumens at high output. PhlatLight LEDs are mercury-free, highly reliable and provide a lifetime of 60,000 hours with lumen maintenance of greater than 70 percent.
The CSM-360 White Series PhlatLight LED will be available for sampling in late May, 2009 and with production volume shipments starting in July, 2009.
SST-50 White PhlatLight LED:
Luminus Devices, Inc., today announced the introduction of the SST-50 White PhlatLight® LED, the first 5.5W monolithic large-chip LED in a surface-mount (SMT) package. The SST-50 is designed to integrate directly with existing LED lay-outs and enable the next level of performance required by fixture designers to deliver LED-based solutions for mainstream applications in the general, architectural and portable lighting markets.
“In a direct response to the growing needs of lighting fixture designers, the SST-50-W PhlatLight LED offers a drop-in compatible SMT LED to existing, lower-power emitters,” said Chad Stalker, Director of Product Marketing and Business Development for the Lighting Business Group at Luminus Devices. “It enables lighting fixture designers and manufacturers to simplify designs by reducing the number of LEDs in the system while maintaining high performance levels. Additionally, fixture manufacturers can easily increase light output of existing designs by a factor of two by simply replacing the current LEDs with the new, higher-output SST-50-W PhlatLight LED.”
The light-emitting surface of the SST-50-W white PhlatLight LED is a single, monolithic chip that is five square millimeters in size. The SST-50-W produces 550 lumens at 5.5W (100 LPW at 6500K CCT) and upwards of 1,250 lumens at its maximum rated drive current. Available in an SMT package, the SST-50-W integrates seamlessly with standard SMT manufacturing process and equipment. PhlatLight LEDs are mercury-free, highly reliable and provide a lifetime of 60,000 hours with lumen maintenance of greater than 70 percent. The SST-50-W is ideally suited for a variety of applications including portable lighting and general lighting as well as architectural lighting where high performance and high efficacy in a standard package is needed.
The SST-50 is available for sampling now with volume shipments starting in July. Luminus will be demonstrating the new SST-50-W and the new CSM-360-W at LFI, May 5-7 in booth #2983 at the Jacob Javits Convention Center.
