Lumileds launches LUXEON R for outdoor and industrial lighting 

Philips Lumileds of San Jose, CA, USA has launched the LUXEON R LED, designed for outdoor and industrial lighting applications such as streetlights, high-bay lights, wall packs and bollards.

LUXEON R is an illumination-grade LED, and is hence hot tested and specified (at a junction temperature of 85°C) so that its performance at operating conditions is well understood. It also offers ‘Freedom From Binning’ to ensure uniformity from solution to solution. Furthermore, the LUXEON R is footprint compatible with the LUXEON Rebel and LUXEON Rebel ES, while delivering more light output, higher efficacy and better quality of light. With a minimum color rendering index (CRI) of 70 and correlated color temperatures (CCTs) of 3000K, 4000K, 5000K, 5700K and 6500K, the new LED meets the most stringent standards required by municipalities, utilities, and property owners, says Lumileds. Minimum luminous flux is160-200 lumens. The minimum forward voltage is 2.5V.

LUXEON R represents the continued evolution of Lumileds’ chip, phosphor, and packaging technologies, says VP of marketing Rahul Bammi. “For our customers and ultimate end-users, our innovations are lowering the cost of providing ever improving lighting in parking lots and roadways,” he adds.

LUXEON R has already been implemented in Lumec’s SoulCity, a modern family of outdoor lighting solutions that blends uniformity in design and optimum style with the performance and energy efficiency of LED technology.

The LUXEON R LED is immediately available from Future Lighting Solutions and will be shown at the LIGHTFAIR International (LFI 2012) exhibition (9–11 May) in both the Philips stand #208 and the Future Lighting Solutions stand 1621.
