Luminus Inc., a global manufacturer of high-performance LEDs, introduces a family of 3-volt 3030 mid-power LEDs offering a wide range of options, including 200 lumens per watt, 95+ CRI, and “candle-warm” 2200K. Luminus has been building a reputation as a provider of high-quality light with its chip-on-board (COB) arrays and mid-power products, and this MP-3030-1100 series contributes further to that effort. There are a total of 18 different CCT/CRI combinations to choose from in this family, including cool white 70 CRI products capable of delivering up to 200 lumens per watt in outdoor applications and AccuWhite 95 CRI minimum (97 typical) warm white for luxury retail applications.
Another feature of the Luminus MP-3030-1100 family is “hot color targeting,” which means that the LEDs are engineered to produce light with chromaticity tightly centered in the ANSI bin under normal operating conditions of 85 C. In contrast, competitors’ LEDs, which are usually color targeted at 25 C tend to drift away from the ANSI bin in the field, where operating temperatures are much higher. Luminus 3030 LEDs are tested at 150mA nominal forward current and can be driven as hard as 240mA to provide optimal lumens per dollar. The 5700K, 70 CRI product delivers as many as 200 lumens per watt at 65mA for those customers who want to maximize system efficacy.
