Lumileds Delivers 199lm/W for Outdoor and Industrial Lighting with New LUXEON 5050 HE Plus LEDs

Efficiency and energy sustainability are key drivers of LED selection for industrial and outdoor lighting applications. With its introduction of LUXEON 5050 HE Plus, Lumileds can deliver 199 lumens per Watt and 746 lumens of high-quality light output and reduce application power consumption by 18% or more in critical infrastructure applications common to cities and businesses around the world. Further, the lower energy consumption of LUXEON 5050 HE Plus supports the transition to low-carbon or no-carbon electricity supply. OEMs can achieve greater sustainability in their manufacturing process by reducing the physical material in both the heatsink and the system’s driver.

As global energy costs continue to increase, efficiency gains pay increasing dividends to end-users and communities that need to lower municipal costs, reduce energy consumption, and support sustainability goals. All these objectives can now be achieved while also addressing dark sky initiatives. With CCT options as low as 1800K and 70 or 80 CRI, LUXEON 5050 HE Plus is the clear choice for on and off-grid lighting solutions.

In addition to the leading efficacy and output combination, Lumileds has:

Lowered thermal resistance to an Rth of 1.1k/W so that smaller, less costly heatsinks can be used
Established narrower flux bin widths of 25lm to facilitate accurate system design
Hot-color targeted the LEDs at 85°C
Advanced the most robust package to support a maximum drive current of 1.2A
LUXEON 5050 HE Plus joins an already powerful portfolio that includes LUXEON 5050 Round, LUXEON 5050 Square, and LUXEON 5050 HE. Both the HE and HE Plus parts have a square light emitting surface. The performance advances available in the HE Plus versions is also available in Lumileds SunPlus 5050 LEDs for the horticulture industry.
