Lumileds launches LUXEON 2835 Line of 12 colored mid-power LEDs

LED maker Lumileds LLC of San Jose, CA, USA has introduced the LUXEON 2835 Color Line, a mid-power line of 12 colors that achieves what is claimed to be the best performance in its class.

The flux and efficacy of the phosphor-converted and direct-color LEDs are said to enable flawless color mixing for the rapidly growing markets of color-tunable lamps and architectural and entertainment lighting. Color mixing is achieved using the same technology that characterizes every Lumileds color LED offering. “The new LUXEON 2825 Line contains LEDs with matching focal lengths, which enables minimal halos and superior color mixing in all color applications,” says LUXEON Color Family product manager Anthone Chong.

The LUXEON 2835 Color Line includes Red, Green, Blue, Royal Blue, Cyan, Red-Orange, Deep Red, Far Red, PC Amber, Lime, Mint and White (3000K/80 CRI, 4000K/80 and 5700K/70), all specified at 120mA and 25°C. The unique LUXEON Lime LED enables the highest efficiency white lighting designs whereas the LUXEON Mint and Red-Orange LEDs can be combined to achieve the warm candle-light (2200K) ambiance desired by restaurants and other venues, says Lumileds. Examples of the performance include output of 77lm for LUXEON 2835 Lime and 48lm for the PC Amber LED (120mA drive current).

The firm says that system designers are finding the LUXEON 2835 Color LEDs simpler to integrate due to the same polarity for all colors in the product family. Some competing products switch the anode/cathode locations on the LED, complicating printed circuit board (PCB) layout and system design. “Matched polarity for all 12 colors simplifies the design process,” says Chong.
