US-based LED lighting producer Luminus has released its new horticulture COB LEDs which are designed for enhancing the growth of cannabis with special spectrums.

As LED lighting technologies continue to advance, the demand for efficient thermal solutions has increased drastically. In addition, high power LEDs have triggered manufacturers to redesign heat sinks to make them more compact and have better heat dissipation. To better understand the development trends of thermal solutions, LEDinside interviewed Koen Vangorp, General Manager of Taiwan-based MechaTronix, at the 2017 Taiwan International Lighting Show (TILS). 

New worlds of LED lighting are revealing themselves, worlds we couldn’t dream about just a few years ago…When Citizen created the “Monster” COB package CLU550, able of creating over 50.000 lumen of light output, it wasn’t so sure yet if anyone would be able to cool it down to temperatures which would lead to the life time this kind of industrial applications would require.

More lumens, hot and cold Sharp Devices Europe (SDE) has launched a new range of COB LEDs with outputs ranging from 600 to 6000 lumens. Available in the popular Mini and Mega ZENIGATA footprints, the new HD6 and BF6 series LEDs from Sharp are some of the most efficient on the market, achieving up to 153 lm/W.

Luminus, Inc., a global manufacturer of high-performance LEDs, announced today a new third generation family of chip on board (COB) arrays with record-breaking efficacy and quality of light.  This new product family boasts typical performance of 150 lumens per Watt efficacy in 3000K, 80+ CRI, Tj = 85°C for use in a multitude of indoor applications and 170 lumens per Watt at 6500K, 70CRI, 85C fo r outdoor applications. 

Luminus, a global manufacturer of high-performance LEDs, announced today a new family of 3 volt 3030 midpower LEDs offering  a wide range of options including 200 lumens per Watt, 95+ CRI, and "candle-warm" 2200K.  Luminus has been building a reputation as the market leader in high quality-of-light with their chip-on-board (COB) arrays and midpower products, and this new MP-3030-1100 series contributes further to that effort.  There are a total of 18 different CCT/CRI combinations to choose from in this family, including cool white 70 CRI products capable of delivering up to 200 lumens per watt in outdoor applications and AccuWhite™ 95 CRI minimum (97 typical) warm white for luxury retail applications.

XNOVA COB LEDs released to mass production; industry best CRI up to 98 with AccuWhite technology Billerica, MA (February 25, 2014) - Luminus Devices Inc., a global manufacturer of high-performance LEDs, announced today that its flagship XNOVA white Chip-On-Board (COB) products reached full mass production while setting another benchmark with industry-leading efficacy for both cool and warm white. Typical performance was measured at up to 145 lm/W at 5000K, and 132 lm/W for 3000K at room temperature. Hot lumens per Watt at 85C, a more representa...
