Samsung launches high-performance H-series LED linear modules for indoor lighting applications

Samsung Electronics Co Ltd has launched H-series Gen 3, a new line-up of LED linear modules with high luminous efficacy that enables easy replacement of fluorescent lights with LED lamps.

The H-series Gen 3 provides light efficacy of up to 187 lumen per watt (lm/W) at 4000K, which allows LED luminaires using the modules to achieve light efficacy above 140lm/W, delivering an optic efficiency level of about 86% and LED driver efficiency of about 88%.

Currently, Samsung offers several linear LED module line-ups: the V-series for cost-effective applications; the M-, S- and F-series for standard LED lighting segments; and now the H-series for high-performance LED products.

The H-series Gen 3 uses the LM561C, the mid-power LED package with the highest efficacy in its LM561-series line-up. It hence achieves 18-26% higher efficacy than the firm's M-series Gen 2 modules. This makes the H-series Gen 3 line-up well suited to meet DLC Premium standards (technical requirements for LED lighting solutions suggested by the DesignLights Consortium). DLC standards are well recognized in the North American region as a preferred means of evaluating LED lighting products in terms of performance and quality.

The H-series comes in three sizes: 1120mm (4ft), 560mm (2ft), and 280mm/275mm (1ft). As the premium version of the firm's M-series and S-series line-ups, the H-series has the same form factors as those modules while providing performance that is said to more than satisfy the high demands of the USA and EU luminaire markets.

The M-series has been certified by UL (a product quality certification standards organization in the USA), while the S-series has been certified by CE and ENEC (similar standards bodies in the EU). Sharing the form factors and quality certifications of Samsung's M- and S-series, the H-series allows lighting manufacturers to select their LED modules according to the specific operating conditions of their applications.
