Two new PhlatLight LED modules for entertainment and architectural uses are introduced by Luminus Devices Inc. in Billerica, USA. And the products has been planned to enter the markets from 2H09.
Claimed as the first multi-color LEDs by the company with individually controllable color channels, the new modules based on PhlatLight (Photonic Lattice) LED large-chip architecture can produce over 2500 lumen of total light output from a optical area of merely 6mm x 8mm.
The PhlatLight LED large-chip architecture is an important breakthrough for solid-state lighting in the entertainment and architectural applications, says Dave Sciabica, general manager of Luminus Devices' Lighting Business Group. “For the first time, fixture manufacturers can provide lighting designers intense high-quality, well-mixed digital light without the annoying color shadows that result from using hundreds of lumen-starved LEDs in over-sized fixtures.”
The CBM-380-RGBW provides no less than 2500 lumen light output from a light-emitting surface area of 38mm2. It is suitable to be used in applications requiring a broad color gamut and superior color rendering with individual monolithic red, green, blue and white die. And the color shadowing and color mixing can be eliminated as the 6mm x 8mm optical source window makes possible the use of simple optics.
With a total emitting surface area of 29mm2, the CBM-290-RGB produces 1500 lumens from a 6mm x 8mm optical source. It has individual large red, green, and blue die, suitable for applications that require dynamic color changing and homogeneous color mixing. Like CBM-380-RGBW, it also eliminates the color shadowing typically seen with multi-color, multi-LED arrays. The CBM-290-RGB has the same form factor as the CBM-380-RGBW, allowing for an array of tiled, replaceable modules and scalable system output.
Both modules are simple to service and upgrade even after the fixture has been installed, claimed the company. These new modules with high single-source output can increase system reliability when compared to using hundreds of smaller LEDs, and faster design and manufacturing cycles can be realized as a result.
