March 15, 2010... LUXEON c delivers a more efficient, cost effective LED solution for appliance, portable and personal lighting solutions

San Jose, California USA--Addressing the lighting industry’s need for smaller, more powerful, and long-lasting LEDs for applications like refrigerators, freezers, and washing machines, Philips Lumileds today is introducing LUXEON c, the company’s latest addition to its LUXEON power LED portfolio. LUXEON c enables more efficient, cost effective, environmentally friendly lighting solutions for the tens of millions of appliances, tools, and portable applications that typically use a 10W to 40W conventional light bulb. For owners and users of these applications, implementing LUXEON c can reduce operating costs, energy consumption, and deliver a better experience for the owner.

“There are hundreds if not thousands of different lighting applications each with their own light source requirements. We have two objectives. First, to provide a path for our customers to move to a solution that makes sense for their business, and second, to enable them to rethink their design, take full advantage of the size and power of our LUXEON LEDs, and deliver a solution that adds value when compared to the original bulb-based solutions,” said Frank Harder, Vice President of Product Marketing.
