No color bins, no flux bins, no Vf bins

Philips Lumileds introduced LUXEON K this week, its illumination grade array that charts a new direction for downlights and retrofit bulbs so that solutions can come to market more quickly and at a price that drives market adoption. LUXEON K arrays provide thousands of lumens of light output and will be available in three different CCTs with a typical CRI of 85, and with five configurations of 4-24 emitters per array, in early Q2 of this year.
"LUXEON K extends our portfolio of illumination grade LEDs engineered to optimize end-user satisfaction of specific applications," said Rahul Bammi, VP Marketing at Philips Lumileds. "For downlights and retrofit bulbs, LUXEON K provides a unique approach that delivers the highest, most consistent quality of light in an easy-to-implement array. Our hot testing and specification at 85 deg C, and freedom from color, flux, and Vf binning, makes LUXEON K the simplest of LEDs to specify and use."
