Offered in industry standard footprints for drop-in replacement, the LUXEON CX Plus CoB achieves the highest system efficacy in spotlights and downlights

On March 7th, Lumileds introduced the LUXEON CX Plus CoB, an immediate, effortless upgrade to existing designs currently using legacy CoBs with a square footprint. LUXEON CX Plus CoB achieves excellent 120 lm/W system efficacy over a wide lumen package range of 500-7,000 lm. Key to this performance is the CoB’s metal core PCB substrate, which features 3X lower thermal resistance than competing solutions for superior efficiency and lumen maintenance.

The metal core PCB substrate of the LUXEON CX Plus CoBis also more flexible, ensuring the highest reliability in luminaire manufacturing. “With the LUXEON CX Plus CoB, luminaire makers have an immediate upgrade to higher efficiency while maintaining existing optics, clamps, and certification information. In addition, Lumileds metal core substrate is more flexible than ceramic solutions, so one can avoid the problem of chip-on-board cracking, which can occur during assembly,” said Ivan Tsoi, Product Manager for LUXEON CX Plus CoB.
