Luminus Devices' SBM-160 Color Mixing Big Chip LED™ Premiered at PLASA 2011
Luminus Devices, Inc., the industry leader in Big Chip LEDs, announced that its newest color-mixing LED chip has premiered at PLASA 2011 as the light engine of four i-Pix fixtures from the popular BB series of LED entertainment lights: the BB1, BB2, BB4 & BB7.
Features:
• Extremely high optical output:
up to 270 Red lumens
up to 640 Green lumens
up to 120 Blue lumens
up to 550 White lumens
• High thermal conductivity package - junction to heat sink thermal resistance as low as 1.48 ºC/W per die
• Photonic lattice technology for very high surface brightness and uniform emission
• Four big chips with emitting area of up to 4 mm2 each
• Environmentally friendly: RoHS compliant
• Variable drive currents: less than 1 A through 4 A
• Available in RGBW combination
i-Pix Digital Light, a leading LED entertainment lighting fixture manufacturer headquartered in the United Kingdom, is demonstrating the upgraded fixtures at this year’s PLASA show. “Luminus’ SBM-160 has enabled i-Pix to hot-rod its complete BB fixture series, which now emits four times the light output for the same power consumption,” i-Pix founder and director Chris Ewington says. “We are already known for our innovative LED digital lighting products, and are excited that we can now offer such a substantial increase in brightness while keeping power consumption at the same level as the previous generation of BB fixtures.”
"By offering a surface mount RGBW package with exceptional output from a small emitting area, we've enabled i-Pix to deliver a substantial output boost across an entire product line with minimal changes in their platform,” says Don McDaniel, Ph.D., Director of Global Entertainment for Luminus. “The SBM-160 extends the success of the revolutionary CBM-380 into the realm of smaller luminaires while continuing to provide the lumen punch we're known for.”
“When we began working with i-Pix, we kept their underlying mission of LED innovation that delivers strong ecological benefits in mind. Plus, we all were working to make i-Pix’s product upgrade a game-changer within their space,” says Bruce Lynch, Director of Lighting, EMEA at EBV Elektronik. “As i-Pix’s chosen distributor, we became excited about being able to provide a light engine solution along with application support that would result in such a significant increase in output. Offering high value, cutting-edge technology opto-semiconductor solutions is what EBV LightSpeed is all about.”
The newest generation of Luminus-powered i-Pix BB series fixtures was on display in i-Pix’s booth #2-P18 at PLASA 2011, the leading international tradeshow for event, installation and entertainment technology.
