LED maker Lumileds of San Jose, CA, USA has launched the LUXEON XR-3020, an ultra-slim module that serves as a building block for TLEDs or thin office and industrial fixtures.
As the latest addition to the Matrix Platform family of infinitely configurable LED boards, linear flex strips and modules, the slim (20mm) products are available with 24 LEDs on a 280mm thermally conductive board (~1ft) or 48 LEDs on a 560mm board (~2ft). The modules provide 1100lm or 2200lm, respectively, at 160lm/W luminous efficacy and 100mA drive current per LED, with a board temperature of 45°C.

"Common indoor area lighting applications such as troffers or TLEDs benefit from drop-in solutions that enable rapid luminaire assembly," says Matrix Platform product manager Andrew Cohen. The turnkey nature of LUXEON XR-3020 minimizes time to market and simplifies the supply chain by reducing optical and mechanical design efforts, says the firm. The LUXEON 3020 LEDs used on the modules can be driven at a maximum drive current of 240mA (the highest in the industry for mid-power LEDs, it is claimed) and have passed 50,000 hours of LM-80 testing. The modules also have a five-year warranty.
The XR-3020 is available in color temperatures of 3000-5000K at a color rendering index (CRI) of 80 and at 4000K at 90 CRI.
Up to 10 of the 280mm modules can be connected in series or 16 modules connected in parallel, utilizing the four poke-in connectors per board (driven at 200mA). For the 560mm modules, up to 10 modules can be connected in series or 8 modules connected in parallel (driven at 400mA). Each board is also capable of high-current operation (480mA and 960mA, respectively). The XR-3020 module uses a Super CEM3 PCB (composite epoxy material), enabling superior mechanical robustness and maximum heat dissipation.
Lumileds' Matrix Platform includes off-the-shelf and built-to-spec options, enabling a virtually limitless range of solutions for any lighting application, says the firm.
