LED Engin, an Osram business, has unveiled the LZ7 Plus, the world’s first 50W seven-die LED emitter. The new LED emitter is designed to meet the trends of stage lighting fixtures.

Osram has agreed to acquire U.S.-based LED Engin Inc. in San Jose, California. The company has approximately 30 employees and annual sales of around USD 10 million. LED Engin specializes in ultra-bright, ultra-compact solid state lighting solutions for variety of specialty markets including entertainment lighting, ultraviolet, horticulture, tunable white and medical lighting applications. Its products mainly incorporate LED chips from Osram Opto Semiconductors.

At LIGHTFAIR International 2017 (LFI 2017), LED Engin, Inc. will showcase its expanding and increasingly versatile LuxiTune family of linear dynamic light engines at Booth 1557. Additions to the family include new form factors for tuneable white light sources that extend the high performance and excellent light quality of LuxiTune’s industry-leading products, from directional to area lighting applications.

Combining a compact form factor with the latest platform features, the LuxiTune 2.3 tunable white light engine announced by LED Engin, Inc., a leader in high flux density LED products, targets the same track-lighting and small down-lighting applications as its Gen 2.0 products, while delivering the added performance and controllability benefits that were introduced with Gen 3.0. These advances, which include smooth deep dimming to 0.5%, no e-flicker and no visible flicker, also extend to additional control interfaces for DALI, DMX-RDM and Bluetooth Low-Energy (BLE) through daughter cards, that customers can chose to wire into their fixtures.

LED Engin, a manufacturer of high flux density LED products, announces the market’s most comprehensive range of high-power color and white LED emitters for horticultural lighting. Alongside the typical colors used in horticultural applications (Blue 450nm, Deep Red 660nm and Far Red 740nm), the company is adding custom solutions that include 3 new direct colors (Violet 415nm, Royal Blue 436nm and Cyan 500nm), a phosphor-converted green and full white CCT options (2200K-6500K). Together with the already vast selection of standard LED emitters spanning from UV 365nm to Infrared 940nm and unrivaled packaging technology, this means all types of purpose-built lighting solutions can be easily created to deliver optimized spectra for improved crop productivity.

At LIGHTFAIR International (LFI 2016), LED Engin, Inc. will demonstrate its LuxiTune™ linear dynamic light engine – the world’s first Bluetooth® low energy (BLE) mesh-controlled tuneable white solution for linear luminaires. Adding a comprehensive BLE interface enables end users to wirelessly configure, control and manage linear luminaires to produce dynamic, coherent and fully tuneable lighting schemes seamlessly.

LED Engin, Inc. announces the world’s first 7-color, high power LED to be produced on a single emitter. The compact LZ7-04MU00 emitter enables the design of stage or architectural lighting that produces sophisticated effects over the full color spectrum. Its RGBW die are complemented by phosphor-converted (PC) amber, cyan and violet to provide richer, wide-ranging color effects. PC amber delivers the same saturation as regular amber but with 5 times the flux at temperature, cyan fills the spectrum gap between blue and green, and violet enables black or crisp white lighting effects. Typical stage and studio applications include moving heads with zoom optics and round wash lights. In architectural lighting, the emitters enhance the performance of everything from static lights to linear wash lights.

LED Engin, Inc. announces a new world record in both flux and power density for high power, multi-color LED lighting with its latest LZP family of red, green, blue and cool white (RGBW) emitters. The 25-die, 80-watt emitters deliver 3800 lumens, the world’s highest luminous flux density from a 6.2mm x 6.2mm light emitting area on 12mm x 12mm emitter footprint. This has been achieved through an improved LZP package design that results in the industry’s lowest thermal resistance per package footprint of 0.5 °C/watt. As a result, the LZP now gives designers of entertainment and architectural lighting the freedom to create more powerful yet slimmer, very compact lamps in innovative new styles that appeal to customers. The emitter is the first of three new multi-color products in LED Engin’s development schedule announced in April. The others are the LZ7 7-color emitter and the ultra-high power LZ4 4-die RGBW, which can be driven up to 3 amps/die.

LED Engin, Inc., a leader in high lumen density LED products, introduced 365nm UV LED Gen 2 emitter that delivers up to 1000mW flux output at 2.8W power, which is the highest radiant flux available in the market from a single die package. The 365nm Gen 2 emitter produces its unprecedented irradiance from a compact 4.4mm x 4.4mm footprint, the industry's smallest high power UV LED package. It is designed with a narrow beam angle of just 70° that results in more flux in the beam and maximum power density (W/cm2) on target, at least four times higher than its...

LED Engin is claiming high quality light with a CRI of 97 from its ‘gallery white‘ LEDs. CRI is not a perfect measure of colour rendering. It is officially measured using eight pastel shades (called R1-R8) and it is not unknown for lighting LEDs and fluorescent lamps to have their spectrum tuned to deliver a high CRI number at the expense of visual fidelity with certain common colours. Not so with LED Engin’s latest range. "Accurate colour rendering is a critical factor in achieving the desired ambience in high-performance applica...

LED Engin, Inc., of San Jose, California USA, a announced immediate availability of LuxiTune, a compact, single emitter light engine that delivers directional light with halogen-style dimming.
