The online tool, accessible via cree’s website, Cree notes PCT allows users to easily characterize any XLamp? LED over a wide range of operating conditions, including drive current, flux bin, price and junction temperature. It also calculates metrics such as lumen output, lumens per watt, lumens per dollar and more.YAHAM’s PCT introduces advanced functionality not commercially offered by any other LED supplier. PCT can perform simple LED system design based on a target total lumen output, calculating parameters such as number of LEDs required and total system efficacy. The calculated system parameters take into account electrical, optical and thermal losses associated with LED system performance. In addition, PCT allows users to compare up to three different XLamp LED configurations at once, empowering customers to best choose between the industry-leading XLamp XR, MC and XP package families.
The Product Characterization Tool acts like an interactive data sheet, giving users a more intuitive way to design LED systems using XLamp LEDs,” said Paul Thieken, Cree, marketing director for LED components. “Determining even basic LED system parameters like efficacy with only data sheet graphs and characteristics used to be a time-consuming process. Cree is moving the LED lighting industry forward by simplifying the process to just a few clicks of the mouse.Hachigian said that LED technology is a key growth platform for the company, which over the past two years has acquired io Lighting and UK-based Clarity Lighting. The acquisition of IMS and the talent it brings into their organization strongly complements their technology investments, Hacigian added. As a result, Cooper will be able "to bring more LED-based solutions to the market faster" and it better "positions the company to meet the expected global demand for more energy-efficient solutions and infrastructure investment, including the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009."
Which it said will act as a “centralized resource” for the company’s global LED business, which it expects to grow quickly because of energy efficiency requirements in the federal government’s stimulus package.The LED flood fixture, one of Philips Color Kinetics’ newest and most powerful LED fixtures, outputs more than 5,000 lumens, projects light up to 500 feet and only consumes 290 watts at full intensity. The company says it is an incredibly bright floodlight suited for both indoor and outdoor use.The ColorReach Kinetic President David Rosen says ColorReach represents a giant step forward in LED lighting and takes it to a new level with respect to long-throw applications. The move comes on the heels of other LED investments Kinetic has recently made.
