LuxiTune™ Generation 3.0 developed by LED Engin, Inc., a leader in high flux density LED products, has been named Best Light Source Product of 2015 at the Lux Awards, Europe's flagship lighting industry awards competition. This is the seventh major international award received by LuxiTune since the single emitter light engine delivering ground-breaking white light tunability was first introduced into the market.
LuxiTune Generation 3.0 features a 1100 or 2200 lumen emitter option, each delivering smooth halogen-style dimming from 1600K to 3000K and Correlated Color Temperature (CCT) tuning between 2100K and 4300K. Both tuning curves track the black body curve closely and brightness is adjustable from 100% to less than 0.5%. With the complementary secondary optic, luminous efficacy is an industry-leading 63 lumens/W at steady-state temperature and Color Rendering Index (CRI) is 90 at full intensity.
LuxiTune supports 0-10V, DMX 512, DMX RDM, Dali and ZigBee HA controls. The light engine delivers flicker free, and exceptionally smooth and continuous dimming with all digital and analog controllers. It also provides flicker-free video capturing. Self-learning mode with the 0-10V dimmers eliminates known issues in installations with multiple lamps on one dimmer due to varying voltage drops on long and short cables. It also eliminates dead travel (adjusting the dimmer setting without a corresponding change in light level). DMX RDM control may be used to commission the LuxiTune module with select pre-programmed modes, such as selecting between Warm Dimming or Color Tuning modes.
President and CEO of LED Engin, David Tahmassebi, commented, "It is a huge compliment for LED Engin to win the Lux Awards 2015. LuxiTune's reputation among lighting designers and fixture manufacturers continues to grow as a result of such success. A key differentiator centres on how LuxiTune delivers exceptional CCT tuning along the black body curve without the hue changes presented by competing tuning solutions. Our development team and sales partners have been pivotal to making this innovative product address the needs of our customers."
