Lumileds launches LUXEON CoB Compact Range for cost-effective single source, retrofit and directional lamps

Philips Lumileds of San Jose, CA, USA has launched the LUXEON CoB Compact Range, its most cost-effective line of chip-on-board (CoB) LED arrays, enabling cost-competitive solutions for PAR, GU10 and MR16 lamps. Also, the same optic can be used for both a 35W-equivalent and a 50W-equivalent GU10 or MR16 lamp, reducing system cost and development effort for the lamp manufacturer.

"The LUXEON CoB Compact Range is designed to deliver unsurpassed center-beam candle power (CBCP), making it the ideal choice for designers of PAR lamps and other compact directional lamps," reckons product manager Ahmed Eweida. The range of 5W, 7W and 9W CoBs produce luminous flux of between 600lm and 1100lm at luminous efficacy of 110lm/W, making 100lm/W GU10, MR16, PAR 16 and PAR30 equivalents a reality.

The combination of high efficacy, high flux and a small LES (light-emitting surface) of 6.5mm enables high punch at low beam angles, says Lumileds. In a GU10 lamp, the LUXEON CoB 109 achieves 70,000 candelas and 1500 lumens with a 10˚ beam angle. The CoB Compact Range 109 will also be available with CrispWhite Technology.

Lumileds says that lighting designers are using CoB Compact Range arrays to produce their most cost-competitive retrofit and directional lamps for retail, home and hospitality applications. The firm adds that it has worked with several key partners, for the CoB family, to release compatible drivers, optics and holders to help speed the time-to-market of all lamps.
