Lumileds boosts LUXEON 5050 LED’s flux and efficacy
With streetlights and high-bay fixtures requiring high flux and efficacy to meet the ever increasing demands for system efficiency and energy cost reduction for these applications, Lumileds LLC of San Jose, CA, USA says that its LUXEON 5050 LEDs has been upgraded in both flux and efficacy. Typical performance is now 675lm with 172lm/W in full bin shipments and higher performance is available.
“LUXEON 5050 LEDs are already installed in millions of fixtures worldwide, and this performance enhancement extends the energy efficiency and long-life benefits that cities and business require,” says product marketing manager Mei Yi. “Our manufacturing capabilities allow us to offer even higher typical performance – 684 lumens with our two lowest Vf bins – for customers that require extraordinary light output.”
With color stability and consistency also being critical factors in most outdoor and sports arena types of applications, LUXEON 5050 LEDs are hot-color tested to ensure the LEDs fall within the specified color bins at typical application conditions of 85°C. LUXEON 5050 with the round light-emitting surface (LES) is offered in color temperatures of 2200-6500K at 70, 80 and 90 color rendering index (CRI), and with 6V or 24V options. It is a suitable drop-in replacement for emitters with industry-standard 5.0mm x 5.0mm footprint.
