LEDs ♦ news digest
These devices further expand the company’s V Series line of LED Chip on Board (COB) light sources. These products extend the technology and performance of Bridgelux’s Vero line of LED arrays, featuring high flux density in small light source size packages.
The V10 and V15 products are particularly well suited for commercial and residential lighting markets requiring high quality and tight beam control.
Since the launch of the V Series product line in September 2013 the technology has seen big adoption,shipping millions of units in seven months on the market, in more than twenty countries, representing a quarterly growth rate of 52 percent.
In addition to providing high quality light with high flux density, the Bridgelux V10 and V15 LED light source products offer a compelling total cost of ownership advantage over incandescent, halogen, and fluorescent technologies with greater energy efficiencies and a projected lifetime of over twenty years. The V10 and V15 products produce up to 118 nominal lumens per watt (lm/W).
Typical applications for the V10 and V15 light sources include down lights, track and spot lighting, and landscape lighting with V15 being an ideal replacement for 35W ceramic metal halide luminaires. Nominal lumen outputs range from 1,000 to 3,000 lumens for V10 and V15 respectively.
“Bridgelux is laser focused on paying close attention customer needs and anticipating market requirements,” says Brad Bullington, CEO of Bridgelux, “the V10 and V15 additions to the V Series product line demonstrate once again our responsiveness and commitment to expanding the growth of LED lighting across application segments.”
The V10 and V15 COB modules are available in variety of CCT and CRI options and are compatible with optics, drivers, and holders readily available from third party suppliers.
With more than 9,000 hours of LM80 test data and R9 values that exceed California Energy Commission requirements for luminaires and lamps, these new V Series arrays support Energy Star and other rebate programs. At the same time, they also include ANSI compliant 3-step binning, thereby reducing SKUs while bringing consistent high quality white-point light to this new segment.
Cree XLamp LED
performance boosted 38 percent
This is purported to be the first LED of its size that enables colour-consistent 50-Watt halogen performance
Cree has launched the XLamp XM-L2 EasyWhite LED, delivering more than 1,100 lumens of colour-consistent light from a 5mm x 5mm package.
XLamp XM-L2 EasyWhite LED
Built on Cree’s EasyWhite technology, which combines tight colour binning and intense light output from a single LED, the XM-L2 EasyWhite LED is optimised to replace halogen technology.
“The new XLamp XM-L2 EasyWhite LED offers greater optical control and an immediate performance boost to our existing designs using the XM-L EasyWhite LED,” explains Tom Tang, Chairman, Tons Lightology Inc. “Having a drop-in replacement eliminates the need to redesign existing products, which lowers costs and helps speed our time to market.”
Developed to be used as a single component in small form factor lighting designs, the XM-L2 EasyWhite LED is designed to emulate the appearance and match the colour consistency of halogen lamps.
Cree sas this LED offers 2-step and 4-step MacAdam ellipse bins to deliver one of the industry’s best colour consistencies, which is required for retail, residential, museum and hospitality applications.
“Cree continues to lead the way in optimising LEDs for optical performance and colour consistency,” says Paul Thieken, director of marketing, LED Components, Cree, Inc. “We were the first to introduce an LED optimised for 50-watt halogen performance with the XLamp MT-G EasyWhite LED. Now with the XM-L2 EasyWhite LED, Cree delivers the same amount of light with the best colour consistency in a package that’s 70 percent smaller, reducing the system cost for LEDs in halogen replacement applications.”
Characterised at 85°C, the XM-L2 EasyWhite LED is available with 80 and 90 minimum CRI options, colour temperatures ranging from 5000K to 2700K and forward voltage configurations of 6V or 12V.
Lighting manufacturers seeking ENERGY STAR qualification can take advantage of the XM-L2 EasyWhite LED’s “successor” status to the XM-L EasyWhite LED and use just 3,000 hours of LM-80 data - half of what is normally required - for ENERGY STAR qualification.
Product samples are available now and production quantities are available with standard lead times.
It enables a 38 percent gain in light output and efficacy as a drop-in upgrade to the first-generation XM-L EasyWhite LED.
