Epistar Announces 100, 120, and 150 lm/W Chipsets for Warm White Lighting Market
Following EPISTAR LAB’s recent 216 lm/W record-breaking achievement, Epistar introduces three LED chipset products with 100, 120, and 150 lm/W package efficiency, respectively. The three chipsets are named Standard Set, Premium Set, and Deluxe Set; all feature with CRI >85 and 2700-3000K CCT.
Standard Set: 100 lm/W package efficiency
Chip Platform | Chip Type | Recommended Operation Current | Recommended Package Type |
Low Voltage | V10S – blue(B) AX12 – red (R) | 30mA/chip | 0.27W; 27lm Three chips in one package 3528 PLCC |
Targeting the final system efficiency greater than 65 lm/W, the Standard Set emphasizes its superior lm/$ number and competent efficiency for 40W bulb and T8 tube replacement.
Premium Set: 120 lm/W package efficiency
Chip Platform | Chip Type | Recommended Operation Current | Recommended Package Type |
Low Voltage | V11A - blue AX14 – red | 30mA/chip | 0.26W ; 31lm Three chips in one package 3528 PLCC |
High Voltage | HV45B -blue HA40 - red | 20mA/chip | 3W ; 360lm Four chips in one package 5050/ 6565 Ceramic 7090 PLCC |
Aiming at the final system efficiency greater than 80 lm/W, the Premium Set emphasizes its impressive package efficiency with affordable cost for 60W bulb and high performance T5 tube repleacement.
Deluxe Set: 150 lm/W package efficiency
Chip Platform | Chip Type | Recommended Operation Current | Recommended Package Type |
High Voltage | FV60 - blue HA40 –red | 20mA/chip | 2.7W; 405lm Four chips in one package 5050/ 6565 Ceramic 7090 PLCC |
Pointing towards the final system efficiency greater than 100 lm/W, the Deluxe Set emphasizes its unmatchable efficiency with fair cost for 75W up bulb replacement, high performance PAR, and downlight market.
Epistar continues its efforts in SSL technology advancement combined with its excellent manufacturing capability to commercialize LED lighting. While dedicating itself to ever higher lm/W number, Epistar also commits to delivering competitive lm/$ value to its customers.
About the Out-of-the-LAB record:
With its outstanding efficacy, higher CRI, and competitive lm/$, the solution of direct red platform is widely used in warm white application. Recently, EPISTAR LAB has successfully achieved the warm white efficacy of 216 lm/W at an operating current of 5 mA and CRI of 87 Ra at CCT of 2700K. Under a typical driving current of 15mA (or about 1 W operation equivalent), the luminous efficacy of 197 lm/W was achieved.
EPISTAR LAB’s new record adopts several technologies in high voltage chips, such as the novel substrate transfer process, lower MQW light absorption, fine structure for increasing the photon extraction efficiency, improvement on the current spreading uniformity, and improved MQW structure with excellent IQE and lower forward voltage. The superior performance warm white HV chipset is suitable for retrofit, professional lighting, and luminaires applications. EPISTAR will continue developing more advanced technologies to enhance product performances and work closely with our downstream customers to provide better LED lighting solutions to the market.
