Welcome to Lumenate
Dear readers, welcome
to the first edition of
Lumenate magazine.
Since we launched
Future Lighting Solutions
seven years ago, the
humble LED has gone
from being a simple
indicator lamp to what is
recognised as the next
generation lighting source.
The technology has
developed at an amazing
rate. When Future Lighting
Solutions first launched,
the typical performance of a LUXEON LED was 13.9
lumens at 350mA, today we are already talking about
high-power LEDs that will produce 80 lumens at 350mA
and as much as 200 lumens with higher drive currents.
But, as we all know, effective design is not simply about
statements of Lumens per watt but more about LED
reliability and the ability to truly determine the lifetime
performance of LEDs under different operating conditions.
Last month we saw Philips Lumileds Lighting launch a
new reliability analysis tool. Finally, we can now produce a
graphical representation which helps us to understand and
evaluate the impact of temperature and drive current on
lumen maintenance and failure rates of LEDs.
Through this analysis we can clearly see dramatic
reliability performance differences between LEDs from
different manufacturers allowing designers and engineers
to make more fully informed decisions.
With all these great developments taking place we
thought it would be valuable to produce a magazine
dedicated to LED lighting solutions as a way of sharing
technology breakthroughs with our customers. Lumenate
will not only cover LED technology, but also the other critical
elements of power, thermal and optical management which
are essential to achieving the optimal usable light.
Lumenate will be published four times a year and include
technical articles, product information and industry news as
well as articles from our Certified Solution Partners. These
will cover a wide range of segments and applications
suitable for solid-state lighting.
This is the first edition of Lumenate and we welcome
your input and feedback. If you would like to share your
comments with us please contact:
[e-mail]
and we will be happy to discuss your ideas.
