Lumileds boosts LUXEON 5050 Round LED performance
Lumileds LLC of San Jose, CA, USA has again improved the performance of its LUXEON 5050 Round and is characterizing the LED for use in the horticulture industry. For illumination applications, 70-CRI lumen performance increases by as much as 5lm. In the case of a minimum 15,000 lumen streetlight, this equates to a 10% reduction in LEDs and significant cost savings.
“High efficacy, high light output and corrosion resistance that outperforms others are key,” says product & marketing manager Mei Yi. “We’ve continued to invest in this LED platform and, as a result, our customers can continue to optimize their solutions and support sustainability while improving lighting.”
The use of white light in horticulture applications continues to increase. The combination of efficacy, light output and corrosion robustness makes LUXEON 5050 a suitable fit in this segment, reckons Lumileds. The LEDs now deliver what is claimed to be top-rated μmol/J and PPF (μmol/s) performance and long lifetime with correlated color temperatures (CCTs) ranging from 2200K to 6500K and color rendering indexes (CRIs) of 70, 80 and 90 to better support the horticulture industry. Further, the LUXEON 5050 Round offers hot-color targeting to ensure that the LEDs are within color target at application conditions of 85°C.
All LUXEON 5050 products are available now through Lumileds’ distribution network.
