Philips’ New High-Voltage LED Line Delivers a 27% Increase in Lumens per Watt in a Smaller, Unique Package

Designed for small-socket applications, new LUXEON H50-2 from Philips Lumileds enables new form factors and drives down lighting costs Philips Lumileds introduces the new LUXEON H50-2 LED, one of the industry’s highest performing, high-voltage LEDs. With a typical efficacy of more than 80 lumens per watt, the LUXEON H50-2 improves on the efficacy of the existing LUXEON H 50V LED by 27%. Moreover, it offers I 0% more lumens per watt and 30% percent higher luminous flux than leading competitive products, as well as lumen maintenance that exceeds rigorous ENERGY STAR® requirements. Designed for space-constrained, retrofit bulbs such as the popular A19, the LUXEON H50-2 has a small size and high- voltage architecture that enables more form factors and lowers costs through the use of cost-efficient drivers.

Unlike other high-voltage LED products, every LUXEON H50-2 LED ¡s hot tested at 85 degrees Celsius to guarantee performance at operating conditions, and ¡s color binned into three and five SDCM to ensure consistency among LED packages. In addition to A- line retrofits, the LUXEON H50-2 can drive down the costs of other space-constrained lamps such as candelabra and GUIO lamps. For specialty applications such as undercabinet, track and poultry lighting, LUXEON H50-2 has a smaller form factor that allows for even more streamlined solutions.

“We continually work with our customers to help them address the challenges they are facing in their market through the introduction of innovative new LED packages such as the LUXEON H50-2,” said Viji Krishnamurthy, Product Manager at Philips Lumileds. “This new LED package works with simple, highly efficient drivers, enabling lighting designers to create unique form factors at lower costs, while still offering LUXEON performance and quality.”
