LUXEON V Portable
®
Introduction
LUXEON
®
is a revolutionary, energy efficient and ultra compact new
light source, combining the lifetime and reliability advantages of Light
Emitting Diodes with the brightness of conventional lighting.
The LUXEON V Portable, part of the LUXEON V family, delivers white
luminous output 100 times brighter than standard small signal LEDs
and 4X that of a standard LUXEON.
LUXEON V Portable is designed for portable lighting products such
as flashlights, "miner" head mounted lights, emergency egress
lighting, and other battery operated applications. This device offers
ruggedness, low power consumptions, and lifetimes greater than
50X conventional flashlight sources—over 500 hours compared
to the typical 20 hour life for an incandescent bulb.
Features
Highest Flux LED in the world
—50X traditional "5mm" LEDs,
and 4X a standard LUXEON.
500+ hours operation compared
to just 20 hours for typical
incandescent flashlight bulbs.
Extreme Luminous Density—20X
the lm/mm
2
of a standard
through hole LED
More Energy Efficient than
Incandescent and most
Halogen lamps
Low voltage DC operated
Cool beam, safe to the touch
Instant light (less than 100 ns)
Fully dimmable
No UV
Superior ESD protection
Uniform angular color uniformity
superior to other solid state
sources, eliminating color halos
within the light beam
Benefits
Compact low voltage light
source for portable lighting
applications
Highly efficient source results in
longer battery life
Solid state technology eliminates
fragile filament resulting in
extremely rugged designs
Much longer life than conven
tional light bulbs enables sealed
for life designs
