Philips Lumileds Increases Performanceof the LUXEON Rebel Color LED Portfolio

Philips Lumileds announced today that it has increased the light output specifications and top performance bins for virtually every color of LUXEON Rebel LED manufactured. In addition, significantly lower forward voltage for red and red-orange emitters results in very high efficacy LEDs which is critical as lighting engineers strive to reduce luminaire energy consumption.

The demand for colored power LEDs continues to grow, “said Frank Harder, VP Marketing LUXEON Product Lines at Philips Lumileds. “Across the globe, applications for city beautification, architectural lighting, entertainment, traffic, and signaling, are increasingly in demand. Our position as a manufacturer of all colors allows us to support our customers with a portfolio that’s efficient, delivers high light output, is extremely reliable, and is cost effective in lumens per Watt and lumens per dollar for a wide variety of solutions.”
