Billerica, MA., March 31,
2010―Luminus Devices,
Inc., developer and manufacturer of big-chip PhlatLight® LEDs, today
announced the UV CBT-120, the company’s first big-chip UV LED built on PhlatLight
technology.The CBT-120 is ideally
suited for a widely diverse number of industrial processes ranging from epoxy,
ink, paint, laminate and adhesive curing to semiconductor processing.
The
UV CBT-120, based on Luminus’ award-winning large monolithic chip platform, is well-suited
for UV applications that demand a high-flux of UV photons. The UV CBT-120 has a
power density of 1 W/mm2, offering extremely high optical
output of 10W at 390 nm.
“Traditionally,
industrial curing applications have been forced to use high-wattage, high-intensity
lamps due to the level of optical power density required for these applications,”
said Alexei Erchak, CTO, Luminus Devices.“Now, with the release of the UV CBT-120, a solid-state lighting
solution is available that can reach the requisite power levels and provide a new
level of process control that is safe and reliable.”
The
UV CBT-120 features high thermal-conductivity packaging, with a junction to
heat sink thermal resistance of only 0.7 °C/W so it can reliably be driven
to the demanding power levels necessary for industrial processing.It is an energy saving, environmentally friendly
light source lasting over 10,000 hours compared to 1,000 – 2,000 hours in traditional
high intensity discharge lamps.
Samples
are now available, full production is expected later in 2010.For inquiries on Luminus’ PhlatLight UV CBT-120
