Luminus adds SFT-12R and SFT-25R to round LED range for premium outdoor lighting
Luminus Devices Inc of Sunnyvale, CA, USA — which designs and makes LEDs and solid-state technology (SST) light sources for illumination markets — has launched its patented SFT-12R and SFT-25R round LED technologies, setting what are claimed to be new benchmarks in optical performance for directional lighting applications.
The SFT series features a patented LED emitter with round light-emitting surfaces (LES) in a flat top package, delivering optical efficiency that requires up to 2.5 times less fixture flux compared with conventional LED solutions. This translates to significant reductions in power consumption while maintaining superior illumination quality.
“Our patented round LED emitter design represents a fundamental shift in LED technology,” claims senior business line director Yves Bertic. “The SFT-12R and SFT-25R are designed to be incredibly effective at directing light precisely where it’s needed, dramatically reducing glare, and improving safety in outdoor environments.”
Key advances are cited as:
- the innovative flat top package enables optimal proximity between the optics and LED;
- advanced phosphor-on-chip technology ensures superior color uniformity across radiation angles;
- a vertical chip architecture maximizes the candela/lumen K-factor for enhanced precision;
- a small LED emitter design with high current capabilities delivers exceptional lumen density; and
- a round LES distributes light more evenly, reducing hotspots and shadows and resulting in more uniform illumination.
The technology is claimed to demonstrate particular excellence in demanding applications such as stadium lighting, street illumination, and stage/studio environments, where precise beam control and color consistency are crucial.
Target applications include: stadium and sports lighting; street and roadway illumination; stage and studio lighting; off-road and portable lighting solutions; and professional work lighting. The new product line is now available through Luminus’ authorized distributors.
Luminus is exhibiting in booth #1118 at the LEDucation event in New York City (18–19 March).
