Philips Lumileds Ramps Up Efficacy and Flux in Latest High-Power LED

The new LUXEON Q from Philips Lumileds delivers superior performance in a high-power emitter that serves as a direct drop-in replacement for products that use the standard 3535 surface mount package. LUXEON Q is the first high-power LED based on LUXEON Flip Chip die, Philips Lumileds high performance Chip Scale Package (CSP) device architecture.

Efficacy for the LUXEON Q emitter is 135 lm/W at 5700K 70 CRI and 115 lm/W at 3000K 80 CRI (@85˚C and 350 mA). Kathleen Hartnett, Product Line Director for LUXEON Emitters notes, “Our LED is especially competitive when it’s driven harder. For instance, at 1 Ampere, a flux of more than 300 lm at an efficacy of 102 lm/W at 85˚C is achieved in neutral white at 4000K. The high efficacy at high drive current of the LUXEON Q emitter is achieved as a result of the industry leading wall plug and conversion efficiency of Philips Lumileds next-generation CSP architecture.”

The LUXEON Q takes advantage of a fully developed ecosystem for 3535 components, including a wide range of optics, to speed the time-to-market for omnidirectional indoor and outdoor luminaires. Applications include high bay and low bay luminaires, downlights, outdoor wall packs, replacement lamps and specialty luminaires. “Customers are starting with a familiar LED package and can quickly build their products from there using readily available optics and other compatible components,” says Hartnett.

The LUXEON Q emitter line is available in CCTs of 2700K, 3000K, and 3500K at 80 CRI and CCTs of 4000K and 5700K at 70 CRI.

Philips Hue Brightens the Mood at London Design Festival

Philips Hue, has been installed at the Photon Project’s Photon Pod at the London Design Festival. The all-glass pod is a prototype for the Photon Project that will collect invaluable data and insights on the links between light, and health and wellbeing over a planned four-year period. The Photon Project is a scientific study initiated by glass engineering company Cantifix, and Oxford University, to explore in detail the effects of light on the biological clock – which in turn affects the health, wellbeing, mood and behavior of each of us.

Attendees at the London Design Festival are able to experience "life under glass" with the Phonton Project.

The stunning glass pod installation showcased at London Design Festival invites the public to experience ‘life under glass’ and take part in a series of simulations that measure levels of alertness or relaxation in different light settings – illustrating the future research plans. Within the Photon Pod, visitors can also interact with Philips Hue providing a personal light experience. Tuneable white light from Hue can be controlled via a simple app to instantly match the mood and moment, and through pre-settings light can be set to help concentrate, relax or energize. The Photon Project and its founders at Cantifix share the belief that the results of the research can potentially contribute to improving the lives of millions, through new standards and light-related solutions for all sorts of buildings.

Sean Carney, Philips Chief Design Officer, will attend the Photon Project’s symposium at the London Design Festival and speak about the future possibilities of light. Sean comments: “With Philips Hue, we are only beginning to understand the endless creative possibilities digital lighting will bring. As we acquire new insight into the physiological and psychological effects of light, programmable digital light sources such as Hue will allow us to apply light in ever more meaningful ways. Whether supporting our bodies’ own natural balance by simulating daylight or achieving something much deeper, promoting feelings of wellness.”

Relax App Screen

Speaking at the launch of the Photon Project, Brent Richards, architect and designer responsible for the concept and implementation of the Photon Project and unique design of the Photon Pod says: “Understanding how people feel in different light settings means applying designed light in ways that harmonize with natural light and benefit people when they’re at home, at work – and anywhere else, at any time. Philips Hue is much more than a lamp with mood settings – it is the tip of the iceberg of what we can do with more dynamic lighting, as the Photon Project will show.”
