Recently, Sharp has announced 50W Mega Zeni LED models featuring an efficiency of up to 100lm/W, a luminous flux of up to 4700lm and a (typical) CRI value of up to 93. It’s one of the first industrial LED solutions to replace traditional 50W HID lamps.

According to Sharp, the devices are designed to maintain the same compact dimensions and high CRI values but with greater luminous fluxes. Sharp says they have a luminous efficiency of between 3590 and 4770lm, a light output of up to 100lm/W in standard operating mode and a service life of 40,000 hours at an operating temperature of up to 90°C.

The modules have been developed for a forward voltage of 50V and a forward current of 950mA, but can also be operated with a standard power source of 1050mA.
 
Additional features include R9 values of more than 85 with CRI values of more than 90, MacAdam three step Ellipse binning, as well as good colour consistency and colour stability values over time under realistic operating conditions (hot lumen).The Mega Zeni measures 24 x 20 x 1.8mm and the colour temperature of the white led lighting components ranges from 2700 to 4000 Kelvin.

The arrays can be available in illumination of both streets and objects, as well as for indoor applications that include spot lighting and recessed ceiling light fixtures.
