Lumileds launches LUXEON M for outdoor and industrial LED lighting

LED maker Philips Lumileds of San Jose, CA, USA has launched the LUXEON M, an illumination-grade LED designed specifically to simplify solution design, reduce costs, and provide the optic control and quality of light required by outdoor lighting applications as well as high-bay and low-bay lighting solutions.

“LUXEON M performance fundamentally lowers the cost and design complexity for a wide range of applications in the outdoor and industrial markets and equips lighting fixture designers with a source that allows them to meet the ever increasing demands of customers and regulators,” says VP of marketing Rahul Bammi.

LUXEON M is being released with three different correlated color temperatures (CCTs) of 3000K, 4000K and 5700K, each with a specified minimum color rendering index (CRI) of 70. Each part is hot tested and specified at 85°C and delivers ‘Freedom From Binning’.

Initial specifications for LUXEON M include:
- luminous flux of more than 900 lumens at 700mA and 85°C junction temperature;
- luminous efficacy greater than 120lm/W at 350mA and 85°C junction temperature; and
- a 12V/8W package on AIN substrate.

Using its latest die and phosphor technologies, Lumileds reckons that LUXEON M will deliver the industry’s best lumen/$ that can be realized using low-cost, readily available drivers, optics and boards for design simplicity.

The new LUXEON LED will be exhibited at Lumileds’ booth 619 at the Strategies in Light 2012 event in Santa Clara, CA, USA (7-9 February). LUXEON M LEDs will be broadly available in second-quarter 2012.
