Directional Lighting Gets Smaller and Brighter Than Ever Before

SUNNYVALE, Calif., May 13, 2019, Luminus Devices is expanding their Gen4 LED COB portfolio with

two new Pico-COBs with high-output and very small light emitting surfaces (LES) that enable spot lights

with compact form factors, narrow beam angles, and high center beam candle power. Small, 6mm LES

COBs are typically limited to approximately 9 degree viewing angles. Luminus’ new Pico-COBs enable

fixtures with viewing angles as narrow as 3 to 5 degrees and produce high flux density, or punch, that is

so important for high quality-of-light directional lighting applications such as retail, museum, residential,

and hospitality lighting. The CXM-3 has an LES of 3.5 mm and produces up to 675 lumens of 90 CRI

minimum warm 3000K light, which makes it an ideal replacement for a 50W halogen spot. The CXM-4

has an LES of 4.5 mm and generates up to 1255 lumens, and as with all Luminus COBs, they are

specified and 100% factory tested at a junction temperature of 85°C, to ensure performance and

consistency which meets the users’ expectations in real-world application conditions.

“Our Pico-COBs with Gen4 technology really get luminaire designers excited because they can

leverage our higher max case temperatures and max drive currents to create innovative new designs

with smaller form factors,” said Tom Jory, VP of Illumination Marketing at Luminus Devices. “This

means lighting designers can specify luminaires with our Pico-COBs and create

unique dramatic effects with longer throws and narrower beams produced by tiny

fixtures incorporating sleek designs that are hidden in the architecture.”
