Figure 7. Color consistency (¼ ANSI)
Figure 7 shows color targets for the different color temperatures of the
Fortimo LED HBMt Gen3. These are specied in the operating conditions
Tc = 85° C, ∆T (Tcase-Tmax.amb≤50˚ C). In the application a color shift
is possible if the case temperature is signicantly different than specied.
Light distribution
The Fortimo LED High Brightness Module (HBMt) Gen 3 System provides
lambertian light distribution, making it suitable for a variety of applications, e.g.
street lighting, area lighting, urban lighting and architectural ood lighting. The light
distribution can be best controlled using a specular/near-specular reector.
Universal mounting position
The mounting direction of the Fortimo LED module is universal. For applications
where a narrow batwing-like distribution is required, we recommend the modules
be used in pairs to make optimal use of the module beam.
Optical les
Optical les in IES format, including Ray-sets, can be downloaded from
the Fortimo LED HBMt webpage (http://www.lighting.philips.com/us_en/connect/
LED_modules/fortimo-HBMt.wpd).
The photometric les can be used to check the system’s far-eld intensity
distribution. The initial reector or luminaire design can be carried out using a
lambertian emitter to gain simulation speed. The nal design should always be
veried using a simulation executed with a Ray-set for the module.
Spectral light distribution
Color consistency (SDCM)
The target specication of the Fortimo LED HBMt Gen3 System for color
consistency is within ANSI C78.377. This specication is similar to that of
conventional discharge lamps used in outdoor lighting. The ANSI C78.377 has an
approximate value of 7 SDCM, or Standard Deviation of Color Matching. This value
refers to the size of an ellipse around the black body locus.
Starting characteristics
After ignition or re-ignition of the driver the module will immediately produce the
intended amount of light.
Lifetime characteristics
Fortimo LED HBMt Gen3 System has expected lifetime of 50,000 oeprating hours
with 90% survivals. Table 17 provides typical lumen output at end of life.
