LumiLeds Lighting Produces 17 Lumen White LED; Products Available in Upcoming Luxeon Product Family.Business Editors/Technology Writers SAN JOSE San Jose, city, United States San Jose (sănəzā`, săn hōzā`), city (1990 pop. 782,248), seat of Santa Clara co., W central Calif.; founded 1777, inc. 1850. , Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Feb. 26, 2001 LumiLeds Lighting, the leader in high flux flux In metallurgy, any substance introduced in the smelting of ores to promote fluidity and to remove objectionable impurities in the form of slag. Limestone is commonly used for this purpose in smelting iron ores. , high powered LED (light emitting diode See LED. ) technology, today announced it has demonstrated a single white LED with output of seventeen lumens. This is four times more white light output than the best known white LED. This device operates at 350mA and 3.2Vf. This is a significant breakthrough as it is the first demonstrated single point white LED light source that is in the light output range required for general lighting -- such as map lights, airplane airplane, aeroplane, or aircraft, heavier-than-air vehicle, mechanically driven and fitted with fixed wings that support it in flight through the dynamic action of the air. reading lights and emergency lighting. A well-controlled single point light source allows lighting designers to design sleek, compact fixtures and couple the light to a single optic in the light fixture. This is not possible with traditional low power 5mm white LEDs, due to the multiple LEDs required, leading to a wasteful loss of light and a bulky bulk·y adj. bulk·i·er, bulk·i·est 1. Having considerable bulk; massive. 2. Of large size for its weight: a bulky knit. 3. Clumsy to manage; unwieldy. , clumsy design. LumiLeds Luxeon(TM) technology offers a unique platform for these breakthroughs -- combining light extraction techniques, cutting-edge LED technology, and high power capabilities.
