Luminus LEDs power new tactical flashlights

Some high brightness flashlights are built with around single LED from Luminus.

The JetBeam RRT-3 has a maximum output of 1200 lumens, providing an effective range of 700+ yards.

The flashlights utilize Luminus’s SST-50 "big-chip" LED, a high-lumen-output, single-chip package. With an input power of 5
watts, the LED has an efficacy in excess of 100 lm/W, color temperatures ranging from 3,000K-6,500K, and L70 lumen maintenance of 60,000 hours.

50 big-chip LEDs are superior to traditional high intensity discharge lamp solutions being used in today’s reflection systems.

Luminus says that the LEDs are also ideal for retail and residential track lighting, PAR/ MR replacement lamps, high bay/low bay commercial and industrial lighting, and outdoor area lighting including roadway and acorn fixtures.     www.bgocled.com

LED street lights improve visibility at UK highway junction

 

Philips recently collaborated with the UK Highways Agency to install LED streetlights at a critical access road to improve visibility while reducing required maintenance.
The UK Highways Agency and their main vehicle for highway management, AOne+, worked with Philips to provide the access road at Junction 22 of the M6 highway with high-quality white light with the potential to reduce and prevent road accidents.
Maintenance of the luminaires is drastically reduced based on the estimated lifetime of 60,000 hours.
Neal Symmons of the Highways Agency said: “Public authorities across the UK are increasingly looking to lower their energy and maintenance bills by investing in the most efficient technology. However, public safety remains our highest priority. Philips has provided us with a lighting solution that not only helps to reduce energy consumption and maintenance costs, but provides superior lighting quality that helps to enhance safety and security on the roads.”
The project uses Philips' carbon-neutral peedStar luminaire to provide uniform light distribution with a smooth transition from primary to secondary areas. The LEDGINE Greenline upgradeable platform is compatible with most commercially available lighting controls.  www.bgocled.com
