firms, the Aeroblades luminaire series takes a bold approach to architectural street, area and security lighting. They by enable beautiful LED implementation while optimising thermal management, light control, efficiency, longevity and payback.
“While everybody else was creating standard shoeboxes and other conventional designs, we were approached with a revolutionary technology that allowed us to throw out all preconceptions of how urban luminaires should appear,” says Keith Bradshaw, director, Speirs + Major. “The result is the Aeroblades luminaire, designed for the best LED performance and the form followed.” The Aeroblades series boasts a unique modular design that allows the state-of-the-art light engine to bring unprecedented versatility and precision to outdoor applications. Aeroblades luminaires can be fine-tuned with NanoOptic technology optical control and the number of luminaire blades to meet specific illumination needs in smaller increments than either traditional designs or competitive LED products. Bradshaw adds, “Cree Aeroblades luminaires redefine our understanding of what an LED outdoor luminaire should look like and how it should perform. What we have achieved could only be done with LEDs and Cree’s innovative technology.” Breakthrough engineering includes an innovative thermal management system that enables higher lumen output and provides significant boosts to lifetime, efficacy and colour consistency. All luminaires have the option of 0-10V dimming, are designed to meet a minimum L70 (lumen maintenance) of 80,000 hours and feature a five-year warranty. The extremely versatile and modular design of the Aeroblades series enables customers to custom-design luminaires to best fit their application. Aeroblades luminaires will initially be available in more than 300 combinations, including: two, four or six blade versions, 20 optical distributions, four colour temperatures (3000K, 3500K, 4000K and 5700K), four drive currents, two pole mount and wall mount versions and seven DeltaGuard paint finishes. The Aeroblades series is sold through Cree lighting sales channels with sample quantities targeted for availability in calendar Q2, and full availability targeted to begin in Q3 of 2012.
Philips Lumileds 5630 LED
“The lighting industry’s performance expectations of mid-power LEDs is well below the expectations for power LEDs,” says Rahul Bammi, VP Marketing at Philips Lumileds.
“We believe that distributed light solutions like those found in offices should deliver quality of light, colour stability and useable lifetimes similar to what our LUXEON LEDs deliver. Most importantly, lighting designers and technical specifiers should have the confidence that the light source inside will perform as intended. We are certain that the new Lumileds 5630 emitters will outperform other options over their lifetime.”
Lumileds has utilised its know-how, including proprietary phosphor technology, to create its first illumination mid-power LED.
“We believe that many of the mid-power solutions being implemented today will see unplanned and unexpected colour shift over time and we think the industry needs better LEDs,” concludes Bammi.
Philips Lumileds other mid-power products include SuperFlux, SnapLED and SignalSure LEDs, which are widely used LEDs for automotive exterior lighting.
Lumileds mid-power LEDs
for lighting raise the bar The firm says the guaranteed minimum CRI, specified R9, and leading performance over time bring newfound confidence to solutions with white mid-power LEDs Philips Lumileds has launched its first white, mid-power LED.
In doing so, the company believes it has raised expectations for mid-power reliability, performance over time and temperature, and colour maintenance.
Intended for office and other distributed LED lighting solutions, Philips Lumileds uniquely specifies CCT, CRI, and R9 for each of its new mid-power emitters.
Cree reveals brightest ever LMH2 LED modules
The new 2000 and 3000 lm modules are aimed at eliminating the need for compact fluorescents in commercial lighting Cree extends its high-performance LMH2 module family with new 2000 and 3000 lumen output options.
