Luminus Inc., a global manufacturer of high-performance LEDs, introduces a third-generation family of chip-on-board (COB) arrays. This product family boasts typical performance of 150 lumens per watt efficacy in 3000K, 80+ CRI, Tj = 85 C for use in a multitude of indoor applications and 170 lumens per watt at 6500K, 70CRI, 85C for outdoor applications. With this third-generation launch, Luminus has eclipsed its major competitors who have recently announced their own new generations of COBs with notably lower performance. These new COBs deliver up to 20 percent higher efficacy than previous second-generation products by leveraging the company’s high-performance packaging technology and premium chips manufactured by Luminus’ parent company, San’an. With volume production starting in May, Luminus will offer its full range of CCT and CRI combinations, including 95+ CRI Accuwhite and Sensus below black body products.
The third generation COB family is available in a wide range of CCT and CRI combinations, and light-emitting surface diameters, including 9, 11, 14, 18, 22, and 27 millimeters. As with all Luminus COB products, the third-generation line is 100 percent specified and tested at 85 C to guarantee hot performance in indoor and outdoor applications.
