Today Philips Lumileds introduces LUXEON TX emitters, which deliver high luminous flux and maximum efficacy for a variety of directional and omnidirectional lighting applications. “These emitters are truly transformative in that they enable customers to achieve performance metrics — such as a true 50W equivalent MR16 lamp at 2700K that meets ERP/DIM2 requirements — which LEDs simply could not meet previously,” said Kathleen Hartnett, Product Line Director for Emitters at Philips Lumileds.

“We use the term ‘extreme efficacy’ because of the remarkable performance customers can expect from these emitters,” said Hartnett. “For instance, outdoor fixture manufacturers who need 4000K at 70 CRI are taking advantage of the LUXEON TX 360 lm output 1.0A and 85˚C to decrease overall system cost, but have the ability to drive the same part 350mA to deliver 155 lm/W LED efficacy and enable streetlights with a system efficacy of more than 120lm/W.

The LUXEON TX platform is available in a range of CCTs and CRIs to satisfy the most exacting requirements of downlights, high bay and low bay lighting, indoor area lighting, outdoor lighting and replacement lamps. In addition, for improved design flexibility, Philips Lumileds has added a minimum 85 CRI option so designers can further differentiate their product lines.

“Designers have typically had to choose between the lower efficacy associated with a 90 CRI LED or the poorer color rendering associated with an 80 CRI LED. Now LUXEON TX 85 CRI emitters bridge that gap by providing high CRI with increased efficacy in a full CCT range from 2700K to 5000K.”

For applications that require a minimum 90 CRI, LUXEON TX delivers up to 100 lm/W warm white light (3000K CCT, 90 CRI and 700 mA at 85˚C).This level of efficacy at 90 CRI enables superior performance for luminaires that must adhere to increasingly stringent lighting standards such as the CEC’s California Quality LED Lamp Specification.

LUXEON TX

LUXEON TX emitters are illumination grade LEDs designed to deliver high efficacy with high flux density to enable directional and high-lumen applications. With Freedom from Binning and extreme performance, LUXEON TX emitters ensure system color point accuracy and provide lamp and luminaire designers with the flexibility to optimize for the highest possible efficacy or for low system cost, in vast Correlated Color Temperature (CCT) ranges at 70 CRI from 3000K to 6500K, at 80 and 85 CRI from 2700K to 5000K, and at 90 CRI from 2700K to 3000K.

About Philips Lumileds

Philips-LumiLEDs-logo

Philips Lumileds Lighting Company is the manufacturer of a wide range of high-power/high-efficiency light-emitting diodes (LEDs). It is now a fully owned division of Philips Lighting. LumiLeds Lighting B.V. was formed in November 1999 as a joint venture between Philips Lighting and Agilent Technologies, a spin-off of Hewlett-Packard. At the time of formation, it was an equal partnership with each company owning a 50% share in Lumileds Lighting.[1] In August 2005, Philips acquired a controlling stake in Lumileds when it purchased Agilent’s 47% share of the company for $950 million USD. This resulted in Philips owning 96.5% of the company with the remaining 3.5% owned by employees. In December 2006/January 2007, Philips acquired the remaining 3.5% of the company, making Lumileds a fully owned subsidiary of Philips Lighting.
