The new LEDs enables various lighting applications not previously possible with traditional LEDs, and as a result fixture manufacturers are now able to target 10,000 lumens and higher applications with as few as two PhlatLight LED packages.

“The CSM-360-W has a lumen output range that provides industry-leading efficiency and delivers a new level of performance not previously realized in a single LED package,” said Chad Stalker, Director of Product Marketing and Business Development for the Lighting Business Group at Luminus Devices. “In addition to the PhlatLight LED benefits of simplified fixture design with fewer LEDs and corresponding optics and drivers, the CSM-360-W also provides a package platform making it possible to service and upgrade the LED itself instead of replacing the whole fixture.”

The CSM-360-W is new in several ways. It consists of four separate monolithic chips, each with a light-emitting surface of nine square millimeters in size, closely packed in a single Chip-on-Board package. The CSM-360-W produces over 3,600 lumens at high efficacy and over 6,000 lumens at high output.

The CSM-360 White Series PhlatLight LED will be available for sampling in late May, 2009 and with production volume shipments starting in July, 2009.

Luminus will be demonstrating the new CSM-360-W at LFI, May 5 to May 7, 2009 in booth #2983 at the Jacob Javits Convention Center.

Luminus Devices is a US-based developer and manufacturer of high performance solid-state light sources, PhlatLight LEDs.
