LED Engin’s new 7mm LED emitter boosts output by 250% to 1300 lumens

In addition to the standard CRI 80 product, the LZ9-series is the first LuxiGen series to be introduced with a CRI 90 option for applications that demand the highest levels of color rendering. CCT binning of 3 MacAdam Ellipses is also available as a standard option for uniform color emitter to emitter.



With 1350 lumens at 3000K and 1600 lumens at 6500K color temperatures, the LZ9 emitter incorporates 9 die in a compact, 3 x 3 series-parallel configuration, package and, like the rest of the LuxiGen platform, uses a patented multi-layer ceramic substrate engineered to minimize stress on the die. The substrate has low thermal resistance to lower the junction temperature of the die for consistent performance over the service life of the product. The LZ9 emitter and TIR lens combination leads the industry in terms of ‘lux efficacy’ or lux/Watt performance, a term that is more accurate than lumens/Watt to describe the usable light delivered in downlighting applications.



“The LuxiGen LZ9 emitter fills a gap in our product offering in the often-demanded 1000 lumen range for complete systems which are commonly used to replace 50W and 75W halogen sources,” says Uwe Thomas, VP of Product Management. “With the addition of the LZ9, LED Engin continues its focus on maximizing Lux on Target and lux efficacy at all power levels, giving our customers the freedom and flexibility to design for a range of applications.”
