Lumileds launches CrispWhite Technology for retail settings

Philips Lumileds of San Jose, CA, USA has launched its proprietary CrispWhite Technology, which is claimed to make whites appear vivid and bright while colors appear saturated. LUXEON CoB (chip-on-board) arrays with CrispWhite Technology result in more attractive displays for retail downlights and spotlights, the firm adds.

Proper lighting is central to the perception and evaluation of goods, as it is a critical component of branding, highlighting and presenting merchandise and creating a space where shoppers want to visit, says Lumileds. With CrispWhite Technology, all colors, including white, show the best saturation, the firm claims. Also, unlike CDM (ceramic discharge metal halide) solutions, LUXEON CoB with CrispWhite Technology turns on instantly (an advantage for retail lighting applications).

“Shop owners have told us that CDM sources do a fine job of rendering warm colors but they would like to save energy and take advantage of the longer lifetime of LEDs,” says product line director Eric Senders. Like CDMs, the new CrispWhite LEDs maintain high color rendering index (CRI) and bring out the white color in merchandise by utilizing a second peak in the blue spectrum, creating the optimal illumination for retail displays, it is claimed.

LUXEON CoB with CrispWhite Technology is available in multiple lumen packages, from 800 lumens for MR16 and PAR lamps, all the way up to 7000 lumens to replace 70W and 100W CDM solutions.
