High Output LED Module Introduced by Luminus and T-Opto

Luminus Devices, Inc., and T-Opto, has announced the introduction of the SoloLux high output LED module, a high efficacy sub-system for high lumen general lighting applications that typically utilize a 175W metal halide source. SoloLux is designed for indoor and outdoor installations requiring many thousands of lumens such as parking area, roadway, canopy, high bay and high ceiling down lights. The patent-pending module produces up to 6,500 lumens from a single source, which reduces fixture cost and complexity when compared against alternate solutions that use arrays of low power LEDs.

“SoloLux sets a new standard for LED modules by providing the lighting community with a single source, field upgradeable solution with real optical punch,” said Jim Hunter, Vice President and General Manager for Global Commercial Markets at Luminus Devices. “The module is based on Luminus Big Chip LED technology, which provides our lighting customers with the opportunity to develop creative and differentiated high performance fixtures. We are seeing real innovation in the marketplace with the technology, such as indirect lighting fixtures that are low glare and eliminate multisource shadowing.”

Michael Handerhan, General Manager of T-Opto, adds “Field upgradeability is a real key to the strategy behind the SoloLux. As LED performance continues to improve, fixture performance can be upgraded by replacing the chip-on-board LED with a standard screw driver. The benefits to our customers in accelerating time to market are obvious, as the SoloLux comes with integrated heat sinking and an electrical interface to standard ballasts. In addition, we have created reference designs for our customers, including custom optics, for targeted applications such as outdoor area lighting and high bay.”
