Luminus Devices, Inc., a global manufacturer of high-performance LEDs and solid-state light sources, announced its superior alternative to metal halide, the Gen 2 XH Series chipon-board (COB) LED array. With substantial increases in light output and density, as well as color rendering, Luminus’ Gen 2 XH Series directly addresses the requirements of lighting designers and retailers for punch and the ability to create dramatic scenes.

“The punch and light quality necessary to create dramatic visuals are now available from an LED package,” said David Davito, Senior Director of Global Product Marketing, Illumination.“Our Gen 2 XH will finally enable retail users to eliminate metal halide across the board. Along with our‘below the black body’ Sensus COBs, our customers can now create a full portfolio of retail lighting solutions.”
