June 2, 2010... Philips Lumileds announced the release of two new Luxeon Rebel LEDs with correlated color temperatures (CCTs) of 2700K and 3000K respectively. According to Philips the new LEDs expand the company's portfolio for indoor illumination applications in hotels, shops, restaurants, and homes. The emitters use Philips' latest thin film flip chip (TFFC) and proprietary Lumiramic phosphor technologies. Philips says that the new LEDs can operate at the high operating temperatures found in applications like recessed lamps while setting efficacy benchmarks.

Philips also contends that implementing its Lumiramic phosphor technology reduces (tightens) the white binning space. The tighter binning moves the company's LEDs one step closer toward the company's goal of freeing customers from white color binning while providing superior color uniformity and raising the standard for light quality. Philips boasts in fact that the new Luxeon Rebel LEDs come in what it says is the industry's smallest and most consistent, white binning space. More specific data about the LEDs can be found at Philips Lumileds.com.
