Lamina Ceramics Sets Another Brightness Record
Lamina Ceramics (Westhampton, NJ, USA) announced last month that it had developed an ultra-high lumen LED white light engine 14 times brighter than any previously demonstrated white light LED array. The 28,000 lumen solid-state device is 5 inches square and is powered by 1400W. It is more than twice as bright as the record-setting RGB (red-green-blue) light engine that the company unveiled just over four months ago.
"Lamina is the established provider of high lumen LED sources, and this development positions us as the only provider of ultra-high lumen LED light engines," said Taylor Adair, President and CEO, in February. "Just over three months ago, 10,000 lumen light engines were thought to be impossible to manufacture because of heat build-up. Our proprietary technology enabled us to break that barrier. Lamina's latest LED light engine is approaching the 30,000 lumen mark."
The new light engine - branded Aterion(tm) White - is comprised of 1,120 LEDs with a 5,500?K colour-corrected temperature (CCT) and a colour rendition index (CRI) of 80. The highly energy efficient array radiates no heat in its light beam and features instant-on, instant re-strike and fully dimmable capabilities.
