LED maker Philips Lumileds of San Jose, CA, USA has launched the LUXEON 3535L family of mid-power LEDs, offering what is claimed to be the highest luminous efficacy available for the category on the market: 165 lumens per watt (165lm/W) at cool-white and 150lm/W at warm-white correlated color temperatures (CCTs).
The LUXEON 3535L line supports ENERGY STAR certification requirements for color quality and a lumen maintenance lifetime of 35,000 hours at test conditions as high as 105°C and 150mA.
“Our LUXEON 3535L mid-power LED offers luminaire and lamp manufacturers unique flexibility by combining industry-leading efficacy of 165lm/W with a wide range of CCTs and CRIs [color rendering indexes] to help them achieve the right light quality for their application,” claims Khim Lee, director of mid-power products. “With the industry’s leading lumen maintenance, the LUXEON 3535L helps luminaire and lamp manufacturers bring a quality product to market that meets the application needs of their customers,” he adds.
To provide lamp and luminaire manufacturers with maximum flexibility, LUXEON 3535L mid-power LEDs are available across a full range of CCT (2700–6500K) and CRI (70, 80 and 90 CRI) combinations. The 3535L is already being widely used in retrofit A19 bulbs, TLEDs, and several office, indoor area lighting and retail applications, the firm adds.
