LED design engineers in building high Color

This new RGB SPNovaLED offers a long lifetime due to its silicone encapsulation and low thermal resistance of the housing. The dimensions are equal to the other SPNova LEDs, while the viewing angle was designed to 125° to ensure superior color mixing among the colors.The new RGB SPNova LED is suitable for a variety of applications such as full color display board, signage, decorative lighting, channel light and architecture lighting, outperforming similar competition devices in almost every significant area.Future Lighting Solutions today announced new capabilities to support LED design engineers in building high Color Rendering Index (CRI) tunable white applications that are optimized for light output and efficacy. The company has developed patent-pending intellectual property, now available for customer licensing, that provides the knowledge, tools and technologies to optimally select three or more LEDs, as well as their respective drive current and dimming ratios, to meet high CRI design specifications.

For example, the company can demonstrate at the lighting system level how to tune the color temperature from 2800K to 4800K while maintaining a CRI of 90 and above. Several general lighting, medical lighting, and retail display lighting customers are currently taking advantage of these capabilities to develop new high CRI applications.Future Lighting Solutions has already used its proprietary platform to develop several prototype systems leveraging the latest LED drivers, microcontrollers and color mixing optics. The company has also invested significant engineering resources to minimize the implementation cost, time and required PCB board space.

These efforts are now being extended with the development of innovative solutions for tuning and maintaining the target color temperatures by leveraging powerline communication, wireless, and sensing (capacitive, ambient light, temperature, proximity, motion detection) technologies.The test report indicates that the total lighting lumen of Apollo series 180W LED streetlight is 9800lm with power factor 0.97, which makes this product one of the most efficient LED street lighting systems in the world.
