Philips Lumileds Leads Industry with Performance Increases for the LUXEON Rebel Color LED Portfolio

Date Announced: 29 Sep 2010

Light Output Increases and Lower Forward Voltage Address Customer Needs for Higher Performance and Efficacy at 350 mA and 700 mA.

SAN JOSE, Calif., Sep 29, 2010 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- Philips Lumileds announced today that it has increased the light output specifications and top performance bins for virtually every color of LUXEON Rebel LED manufactured. In addition, significantly lower forward voltage for red and red-orange emitters results in very high efficacy LEDs which is critical as lighting engineers strive to reduce luminaire energy consumption.

"The demand for colored power LEDs continues to grow," said Frank Harder, VP Marketing LUXEON Product Lines at Philips Lumileds. "Across the globe, applications for city beautification, architectural lighting, entertainment, traffic, and signaling, are increasingly in demand. Our position as a manufacturer of all colors allows us to support our customers with a portfolio that's efficient, delivers high light output, is extremely reliable, and is cost effective in lumens per Watt and lumens per dollar for a wide variety of solutions."

The company's red and red-orange LUXEON Rebel LEDs now generate 40% more light and are 50% more efficient. Its blue LEDs have the best hot/cold factor which delivers superior in-application results and delivers leading lumens per Watt. Royal Blue, which is often used in remote phosphor applications and is the base for white LEDs, typically delivers 875 mW at 700 mA .
