October 19, 2007—LUXIM Corp. has achieved 144 lumens per watt for its new LIFI 8000 light source, the company has announced. The performance was verified by SphereOptics of Concord, New Hampshire, using NIST traceable calibration samples and a 20 inch integrating sphere. The LIFI 8000 source was powered at 170 watts and generated 24,537 lumens of white light at a color temperature of 6012K, says the company.
The result confirms LUXIM’s leadership in the development of long life, high lumen output light sources for general and specialty lighting, according to LUXIM. Customers will see this performance in commercially available products within twelve months.
“Over the last three years we have tripled the efficacy of LIFI sources and we see a clear path to further improvements. As things stand today, our 144 lumens per watt is almost twice the efficacy of other commercially available full spectrum sources,” explained Dr. Abdeslam Hafidi, Sr. Staff Scientist at LUXIM.
LUXIM designs, develops and manufactures high intensity LIFI light sources, bringing the benefits of long-life, energy efficiency and full color spectrum to general and specialty lighting.
