Philips Lumileds intros ultra compact LUXEON c

SAN JOSE, USA: Addressing the lighting industry’s need for smaller, more powerful, and long-lasting LEDs for applications like refrigerators, freezers, and washing machines, Philips Lumileds today is introducing LUXEON c, the company’s latest addition to its LUXEON power LED portfolio.

LUXEON c enables more efficient, cost effective, environmentally friendly lighting solutions for the tens of millions of appliances, tools, and portable applications that typically use a 10W to 40W conventional light bulb. For owners and users of these applications, implementing LUXEON c can reduce operating costs, energy consumption, and deliver a better experience for the owner.

Frank Harder, Vice President of Product Marketing, said: “There are hundreds if not thousands of different lighting applications each with their own light source requirements. We have two objectives. First, to provide a path for our customers to move to a solution that makes sense for their business, and second, to enable them to rethink their design, take full advantage of the size and power of our LUXEON LEDs, and deliver a solution that adds value when compared to the original bulb-based solutions.”

LUXEON c summary specifications are:
* Small form factor, 2.04 mm x 1.64 mm x 0.7 mm.
* Typical 82 lumens per watt and 85 lumens of light output.
* Typical forward voltage of 2.95 V.
* ANSI aligned binning CCT 5000K to 5700K.
* 70 percent lumen maintenance at 20,000 hours.
