Luminus launches LD10 LED light engine for high-intensity spot lighting

At the Light + Building 2012 exhibition in Frankfurt, Germany (15-20 April), Luminus Devices Inc of Billerica, MA, USA, which manufactures PhlatLight (photonic lattice) LEDs for illumination applications, has announced the availability of its new LD10 LED light engine.

Designed for both indoor and outdoor lighting applications, the LD10 is available at 800 and 900 ‘hot’ lumen output levels, color temperatures of 3000K and 4000K, and a color rendering index (CRI) of more than 80. The light engine incorporates Luminus’ ‘Big Chip’ LED technology, which enables high-lumen fixtures with what is claimed to be industry-leading center-beam intensity. For spot lighting applications, the LD10 can deliver 17,000 candela into a 9-degree beam using off-the-shelf optics.

On-board electronics provide power, dimming and protection feedback to the LED. The LD10 accepts a 24VDC power input and a 0-10V dimming signal. In addition, it has thermal feedback protection circuitry that ensures longevity and reliability.

“The LD10 reduces the engineering design cycle for our customers, and enables them to accelerate time to market for their lighting fixtures,” says Chuck DeMilo, global director of product marketing. “It delivers the optical punch that our customers need, and the thermal protection circuitry gives them peace of mind,” he adds.

Luminus is exhibiting the new LD10 LED light engine in Hall 4.2, Stand G02 at Light + Building in Messe Frankfurt.
