Luminus Devices White PhlatLight LEDs Powers New Entertainment Light from CHAUVET

Frankfurt, Germany- Pro Light & Sound and Billerica, MA – March 24, 2010―Luminus Devices, Inc., designer, developer and manufacturer of big-chip PhlatLight® LEDs, today announced that CHAUVET® powers its new Q-Spot™ 260-LED entertainment light with a single CST-90 white PhlatLight LED, a practical and cost-effective alternative to LED arrays. The Q-Spot 260-LED is ideally suited for lighting concert stages, nightclubs and the mobile disc jockey market.

 

“The real value of big-chip PhlatLight LEDs is that they enable the design of much more efficient optical systems for controlled-beam applications such as the Q-Spot imaging gobo spotlight resulting in more light in the beam and reduced overall power consumption,” said Don McDaniel, director, global entertainment,  Luminus Devices. “The CST-90 is not only a practical solid state lighting source for the Q-Spot  but its big-chip footprint eliminates the need for CHAUVET to use LED arrays in future designs.”

 

The Q-Spot 260-LED light comes equipped with one CST-90 white PhlatLight LED, capable of reliably delivering 3,500 lumens, without costly lamp changes or high energy consumption. It is designed for small to medium-sized installations as well as mobile applications. The Q-Spot 260-LED weighs 29 pounds and is ideal for areas where temperature control is a concern. 

 

“Big-chip PhlatLight LEDs enable CHAUVET to manufacture lighting fixtures that are smaller, lightweight and obviously brighter with a more pure, flat light ideally suited for nightclubs and mobile environments where temperature control is essential,” said Mike Graham, product manager, CHAUVET. “What sets a single, CST-90 LED apart in the industry is that it gives us the ability to fully take advantage of environmental and electrical advantages of solid-state lighting technology similar to current high-output fixtures on the market, saving our customers money.”  

 

Designed to provide an ultra-bright, reliable light source, PhlatLight LEDs are currently used by some of the world’s largest companies, including Acer, LG, Philips Vari*Lite, Sony, Samsung and Toshiba.

 

CHAUVET will be demonstrating many new lights at Pro Light & Sound, March 24-26 in Frankfurt, Germany. To see a product demonstration of the Q-Spot 260-LED, visit CHAUVET in Hall 10, Booth B45.
