Lumileds boosts LUXEON CoB Core Range efficacy and flux by 10%

Lumileds has introduced the next-generation LUXEON CoB Core Range as it continues to roll out chip-on-board (CoB) LEDs with higher efficacy and flux combinations. With the Gen 2 products, the LUXEON CoB Core Range now delivers an average of 10% higher efficacy and 10% higher flux with a lower voltage and the same footprint, targeting lighting designers in particular.

"We are seeing tremendous demand in the retail and hospitality markets, where our award-winning CrispWhite Technology really shines," says LUXEON CoB product family director Eric Senders. "These applications require not just the best quality of light, but the cost effectiveness that goes with an LED solution with up to 150lm/W efficacy," he adds.

For example, designers who implemented the LUXEON CoB 1208, which has a light-emitting surface (LES) of 15mm, are upgrading lumen output from 3600 to 4000 lumens with a 10% higher efficiency. Alternatively, if the same output is maintained, efficacy can be boosted from 115lm/W to 140lm/W with the Gen 2 LEDs.

Lumileds is offering the LUXEON CoB Core Range (Gen 2) LEDs in multiple lumen packages from less than 1000 lumens for MR16 and PAR lamps, up to 7600 lumens for 100W CDM (ceramic discharge metal halide) replacements. Color options include the 2200K for a candlelight ambiance and very efficient 90 CRI (color rendering index) parts for high quality of light.

For ease of upgrade, the LUXEON CoB Core Range (Gen 2) products are fully compatible with Lumileds first generation of CoBs. Also, the firm's ecosystem of compatible drivers, optics and holders helps to speed the time-to-market of all directional lamps.
