Samsung Introduces Second Generation Chip-on-Board LED Packages
Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd., a world leader in advanced component solutions, today announced its second generation of D-series chip-on-board (COB) LED packages. The second generation features the industry’s highest light efficacy in COB lineups and is suitable for directional lighting…
This new D-series Generation 2 offers efficacy at 160 lm/W (5000 K CCT, 80 CRI, 85°C) – a significant improvement from the Gen 1 efficacy level of 150 lm/W. The Gen 2 additions greatly enrich Samsung’s COB lineup by providing more extensive lighting source options for spot lighting and most other directional lighting. The D-series Gen 2 also features about 50 percent lower thermal resistance than the first generation.
In addition, all 11 different wattage offerings in the D-series Gen 2 deliver high reliability and performance levels that meet DLC Premium standards (technical requirements for LED lighting solutions suggested by DesignLights Consortium™). DLC standards are recognized in North America as a preferred means of evaluating LED lighting products in terms of performance and quality.
The D-series Gen 2 is available for a wide range of color rendering index levels from CRI 70+ to 90+, and for "Vivid" lighting, in providing color spectrums that have been optimized for retail markets. This satisfies the need of many lighting designers to have richer, more vibrant colors.
