LED modules for outdoor lighting fixtures
10 August 2016
Opto-Electronics
New from Lumileds comes the Luxeon XR-TX module, incorporating 12 Luxeon TX high-efficacy LEDs to produce 3300 lumens and 140 lm/W at nominal drive conditions (current of 700 mA, 85°C board temperature and 4000 K/70 CRI colour. Boards can be driven at up to 1,05 A. In a convenient, rigid form factor, the modules are designed to be readily combined with third-party lens plates and drivers to rapidly design and bring to market LED streetlights, tunnel lights and high/low bay fixtures.
A further advantage to lighting manufacturers lies in the assembly process developed and used by Lumileds. Using a proprietary pick-and-place system, customers can be assured of very tight control of flux, forward voltage and colour specifications at the board level, compared to designing with individual LEDs, where accounting for variability is a greater challenge.
The XR-TX modules are available in a variety of colour temperatures ideal for streetlight and high/low bay applications: 4000 K, 5000 K and 5700 K with a minimum CRI of 70. Each module features a metal-core PCB for best-in-class thermal conduction, screw holes for ease of mounting to heatsinks, and convenient poke-in connectors for electrical inputs. Multiple modules (up to seven) may be daisy chained to achieve an assortment of system configurations and necessary flux levels.
