Lumileds LUXEON CX Plus CoB Gen 2 High-Efficacy Integrated LED Arrays

Introduction

The Lumileds LUXEON CX Plus CoB Gen 2 represents a strategic performance upgrade for luminaire manufacturers who require a balance of high radiant flux and industry-leading efficacy in a standardized integrated array. Engineered to deliver a significant boost in lumens-per-watt (lm/W) compared to its predecessor, the Gen 2 series provides a reliable path to meeting the latest energy efficiency labels, such as DLC® Premium v5.1 and ErP Class B.

For LED module manufacturers and contract manufacturers (EMS), the CX Plus CoB Gen 2 ensures a low-risk design-in process. By maintaining the industry-standard mechanical footprints, fixture manufacturers can boost system brightness without the expensive overhead of re-tooling reflectors, TIR lenses, or CoB holders. Built on a robust metal-core substrate, these arrays offer the thermal stability needed for 24/7 commercial and industrial operation.

Key Product Features

• Optimized Efficacy Tier: The Gen 2 architecture provides up to a 15% increase in efficacy, allowing for reduced power consumption or higher lumen packages from the same mechanical envelope.
• Hot-Color Targeting at 85 °C: Unlike lower-tier CoBs binned at 25 °C, Lumileds bins this series at actual operating temperatures. This ensures that the chromaticity you specify during the design phase matches the real-world thermal equilibrium of the finished lamp.
• Simplified Mechanical Integration: Available in standard sizes (1202, 1204, 1205, 1208, and 1211), the series is directly compatible with a vast ecosystem of third-party holders from brands like BJB, Molex, and TE Connectivity.
• Superior Thermal Path Reliability: Featuring a junction-to-case thermal resistance that is among the lowest in its class, the CX Plus CoB Gen 2 facilitates rapid heat transfer, protecting the L70/L90 lifespan in high-bay and outdoor fixtures.
• Exceptional Color Uniformity: Available in 2-step and 3-step MacAdam ellipse options, ensuring zero visible color variance across large-scale project installations, a critical requirement for architectural lighting tenders.

The LUXEON CX Plus CoB Gen 2 series is the preferred light source for:

• Premium Retail Spotlights: Utilizing 90 CRI options with tight beam control (6mm/9mm LES) to showcase merchandise with high center-beam candlepower (CBCP).
• Hospitality Downlighting: Consistent 2700K and 3000K warm-white sources for hotel lobbies and premium restaurants where color uniformity is paramount.
• Industrial High-Bay & Low-Bay: High-efficacy 4000K/5000K light engines for warehouse fixtures requiring long-term maintenance cycles and stability in high-ambient heat.
• Architectural Accent Lighting: Durable emitters for facade washes and monuments where beam quality and color-over-angle performance are non-negotiable.
