Lumileds has announced Luxeon M, aimed at outdoor lighting, writes Steve Bush.
With an 8mm2 emission area producing 900 lm at 700mA (Tj=85°C Vf=12V) from its 8W package, application in high-bay lighting is also expected.
It will be released in three different colour temperatures: 3,000K,
4,000K, and 5,700K each with specified minimum colour rendering index (CRI) of 70.
All the major LED suppliers have released additional lighting-class LEDs over the past few months, particularly at the high-power end for light bulb and downlighter replacement.
Bridgelux and Molex have teamed up to make a LED lighting product, branding it Helieon.
"The Helieon Sustainable Light Module combines solid state lighting technology from Bridgelux with interconnect technology from Molex, delivering to interior and exterior luminair manufacturers effortless installation, interchangeability and upgradeability," claimed Molex.
Aimed at luminair manufacturers, it is a separable source and socket system, allowing different LEDs to be plugged into a standard socket.
We report today that Osram is producing what it claims is the first LED-based replacement for a 40W bulb.

Ian Bryant
Ian Bryant is Business Development Manager LED Division at Carclo Technical Plastics. He has worked on and off at Carclo (Formerly Combined Optical Industrial) since leaving school. He has worked through the company from Toolmaking to starting the company on the road of LED optics business some 6-7 years ago, starting with a standard range and more in line with the business of custom optics. In between all this he has worked in engineering and as a works Director for a hydraulics company but kept getting pulled back to the optics industrial. We are able to offer the full solution from idea to parts so have a very good understanding on what is needed. You will see some posts from our design team also under my name.
