New Philips LED Chip is Smaller
Than Traditional LED
It’s summertime in
Arizona. And I have no fan in the room I’m
writing this, so I want to be quick.
Today (June 7) is National Chocolate Ice Cream Day, so I’m looking
forward to celebrating after this entry is complete.
It is also the day
that Philips introduced its newest – the LUXEON Z. The new addition to the Lumileds line of LED
bulbs is being billed as the industry’s smallest power LED with highest lumen
density. It’s 80% smaller than a
traditional power LED at just 2.2 square millimeters. It offers a high lumen output across a full
spectrum of colors from 440-670 nanometers (including white) to make it the
industry’s highest commercially available lumen density.
The LUXEON Z will
also allow for integrated approaches that break with current paradigms in
luminaire development. It whizzes past
the constraints of a typical 2x2 multi-chip package to provide designers the
ability to create specialty 2x2, 3x2, and even 6x1 mono- or multi-color
displays. Added to it is the ability to
mount up to 250 of the high-lumen LUXEON Z products in one square-inch to
achieve a whole new look and lumen density.
By simplifying
developments of products such as wall-washers, moving-head entertainment
spotlights and remote phosphor applications, the LUXEON Z also gives engineers
in the architectural, entertainment and specialty lighting arenas a modular
approach to product development. Also,
the non-encapsulated chips are more readily adaptable to custom optics –
eliminating the need for complex and inefficient secondary lenses.
Philips expects the
full line of semi-custom optics will be available in the near future.
