Luminus Devices, a provider of Big Chip LEDs has declared that its advanced CBT-90 white LED now features uniform level light output for lighting applications like entertainment and medical lighting that used to employ 300W Xenon and 175W metal halide lamps, previously.
The CBT-90 having a single 3 x 3 mm chip built on top of a metal core PCB, is capable of generating over 2,200 lm at its top end input current, besides having an improved brightness of over 25%. The Global Director of Product Marketing for the Lighting Business Group at Luminus Devices, Chuck DeMilo says that the performance of this novel CBT-90 surpasses all the other LEDs. The clarity and lumen density of the Luminus CBT-90 is unique in the marketplace, and is suitable for its customers who employ specialty lighting applications. For the first time, clients developing endoscopy light boxes include an LED, which produces system-level light intensity that competes with the gold standard for endoscopy, the 300W Xenon lamp.
The entertainment lighting history is similar to wash and spot fixtures switching from specialty discharge lamps with high intensity like 175W metal halide to the CBT-90. DeMilo further says that this novel CBT-90 anticipates featuring the firm’s leading Big Chip technology, which will provide opportunities for adopting LEDs in other lighting applications.
