Luminus’ Big Chip LEDs Light Up US Primetime TV
The firm’s LEDs are used in luminaires which light up NBC’s ‘America’s Got Talent’. Kieran Healy, lighting designer for the program commented “The entertainment industry now has remarkable, next-generation lighting. It truly exceeds all my expectations.”
Luminus Devices, developer and manufacturer of big-chip LEDs, says that its CBM-380-RGBW product used inside VARI LITE VLX Wash Luminaires are lighting the stage for NBC’s hit television program ‘America’s Got Talent.’
“As a designer I am constantly evaluating new products to improve my shows and LEDs are the future in many industries, including entertainment. Unfortunately, my experience until now with LED lighting demonstrated it was not ready for primetime TV,” said Kieran Healy, lighting designer for America’s Got Talent. “However, by incorporating the Luminus big-chip LEDs into the VLX Wash Luminaire, the entertainment industry now has remarkable, next-generation lighting. It truly exceeds all my expectations.”

At the heart of the VLX Wash Luminaire are seven CBM-380-RGBW LEDs. This system delivers a total light output of 14,000 white lumens with an LED lifetime of over 10,000 hours at maximum output.
“Luminus is proud of the work we’ve done with Philips Vari-Lite in developing the light engine for the VLX Wash and we’re excited to see the fixture lighting the set on one of TV’s most popular programs. It’s gratifying to see the continued validation of the ground breaking design from leading lighting designers and industry awards,” said Don McDaniel, director, global entertainment, Luminus. “VLX Wash Luminaires with Luminus’ big-chip LEDs provide Healy and other lighting designers with color uniformity and beam control not previously available with solid state lighting technology.”
Healy added, “I love the beautiful range of rich color that the VLX produces with the LEDs from Luminus. It has a great flat field which is very important for TV.”
Big-chip Luminus LEDs enable new general illumination applications in lighting markets such as architectural, entertainment, retail, residential, roadways, industrial high-bay, digital displays, signage and UV for industrial processing.
Luminus Devices develops and manufactures high performance solid-state light sources – Big Chip LEDs - for a variety of lighting applications. Its headquarters and primary manufacturing facilities are located in Billerica, Massachusetts, U.S.A.
Lumileds Leads LEDs Into Mass Production on 150 mm
Each 150 mm wafer produces four times the number of LEDs as the current 3-inch wafers. The transition to a larger wafer size is critical to provide the increasing volume of LEDs required by the lighting industry and ensuring a supportable and secure supply chain.
Philips Lumileds is the first power LED manufacturer in mass production on 150 mm wafers and is now producing millions of GaN based LEDs weekly on the larger substrates.
