Lumileds mid power LEDs pass LM-80 decade milestone
The Lumileds LEDs have exceeded lumen maintenance requirements of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency’s ENERGY STAR program, qualification by the DesignLights Consortium (DLC), as well as other emerging specifications.
Projections based on TM-21-11 show that the devices will maintain 90% of their initial lumen output (L90) for a minimum of 60,000 hours at a 200 mA drive current and Ts temperature of 85˚C. Exceptional lifetimes were extrapolated at all test conditions. The performance means LUXEON 3535L LEDs can operate in an LED fixture for 13 years (assuming a calculation of 12 hours of usage per day, 365 days a year) while maintaining at least 90% of their initial brightness.
LUXEON 3535L mid power LEDs are suitable for a variety of indoor area lighting, high bay and low bay applications. Offered in a range of color temperature and CRI options, the standard format LEDs are suited for applications such as troffers, downlights, low bay and TLEDs. In addition, the LUXEON 3535L packages are offered at three performance and price levels – the LUXEON 3535LS, 3535L, and 3535L HE – giving fixture designers ultimate flexibility.
