Intematix Corp., a
leading innovator in phosphors, LED components and solid state lighting modules
today announced the release of a new series of high-efficiency power LEDs. The
new Cetus "E-series" products boast efficacies of up to 100 lumens
per watt (lm/w) for the cool white versions, and 97 lm/w for warm white, and
will facilitate wider adoption of LEDs in general and outdoor lighting. All
models feature Intematix' advanced phosphor technology, providing a high-efficacy
and low-cost combination that addresses key needs of luminaire designers.
The standard CRI version of the E-series offers a combination of high-lumen
output and cost-effectiveness that is particularly attractive to outdoor lighting
manufacturers, all of whom are striving for LED luminaires that are both attractively
priced and efficient in operation. The higher CRI models, due in June, extend
the range to include interior and architectural general lighting applications.
Available standard CRI models include:
- The C6060E high-flux model rated at 700mA drive current, achieving 190lm
typical in cool white, 185lm typical in warm white per LED.
- The C5050E 1W LED with maximum cost-effectiveness, delivering 100lm typical
in cool white and 97lm in warm white. Its 10V forward-voltage (Vf) specification
is ideal for direct drive 12V applications such as landscape lighting.
- The C7676E, a 1W to 2W, 100lm/W LED with a 51Vf specification simplifies
110/220V direct drive applications.
According to Intematix' Director of Marketing, Ilkan Cokgor, "Wide
area and outdoor lighting are applications where LEDs outperform the incumbent
technologies in lifetime, maintainability and energy costs, while generating
much higher quality light. The continuing challenge has been the initial acquisition
costs of current outdoor luminaires, which has negatively impacted payback periods.
Intematix' Cetus E-series sets a new benchmark for lumens per dollar,
which will enable our customers to lower their costs and enhance ROI for their
end-users."
Intematix' high-quality chip-on-ceramic LEDs are characterized by excellent
heat management and luminous efficiency enabled by Intematix' well-recognized
patent-backed phosphor technologies. The Cetus E-series LEDs are available in
5000K and 4000K cool white, or 3000K and 2700K warm white. Standard CRI versions
of all models are available now, while versions with CRIs greater than 80 are
scheduled for production availability in June of this year.
"The ability to offer high efficiency, cost effectiveness, and a range
of colour temperatures carries little market impact without being able to back
that up with product consistency," commented Intematix' Chief Technical
Officer, Dr. Yi-Qun Li. "While the full Cetus line uses ANSI standard
bins, our specific binning process assures customers will receive superior colour
and brightness uniformity both within a shipment and from shipment-to-shipment."
Intematix' complete line of packaged LED lamps, modules and integrated
light-engines will be on display in booth number 3109 at this year's Light
Fair International, being held May 5-7 at New York's Javits Convention
Center.
