Compact Power LED Said to Deliver Cost-Effective Lighting for Appliances  

 
 


SAN JOSE, Calif.—Philips Lumileds recently announced the latest addition to its LUXEON power LED portfolio, LUXEON c, which is said to address the lighting industry’s need for smaller, more powerful, and long-lasting LEDs in applications such as refrigerators, freezers, and washing machines. According to the company, LUXEON c enables more efficient, cost-effective, and environmentally benign lighting for the “tens of millions of appliances, tools, and portable applications that typically use a 10W to 40W conventional light bulb.” Implementing LUXEON c, which has a small form factor (2.04 mm x 1.64 mm x 0.7 mm) and typical forward voltage of 2.95 V, can reduce operating costs and energy consumption, the company says.

“There are hundreds—if not thousands—of different lighting applications, each with their own light source requirements,” said Frank Harder, vice president of product marketing, in a statement released by Philips Lumileds (www.philipslumileds.com). “We have two objectives. First, to provide a path for our customers to move to a solution that makes sense for their business, and second, to enable them to rethink their design, take full advantage of the size and power of our LUXEON LEDs, and deliver a solution that adds value when compared to the original bulb-based solutions.”

LUXEON c is available from Future Lighting Solutions (www.futurelightingsolutions.com), which also offers engineering and “complementary infrastructure resources to assist customers with rapid development and market introduction of solutions using LUXEON c.”
