Enabling customers to create tighter beam angles with higher lumen density at a lower cost than was previously possible, the LUXEON MZ high-power emitter has been announced by Philips Lumileds. It features a forward voltage of 11.2V, a small light emitting surface of 4.2mm diameter and an undomed design to deliver smaller beam angles.

The LUXEON MZ emitter delivers excellent optical control in a 600-1000lm package. Outdoor, industrial and area lamps as well as spotlights and downlights benefit from the faster qualification and time to market with the LUXEON MZ due to its design compatibility with the proven LUXEON M emitter.

In an MR16 the LUXEON MZ delivers greater punch, achieving 50,000 candela centre beam candle power compared to encapsulated emitters that only achieve half the beam intensity using the same sized optics. Flood lamps that formerly required large optics now deliver the necessary brightness and range with smaller optics and off-the-shelf drivers.

Philips Lumileds is offering the emitter family across the full range of CCT and CRI (70, 80, 90) and CCT (2700-6500K) options.

“With the LUXEON MZ in combination with LUXEON M, designers can create two solutions with one optic and one PCB, thereby lowering overall costs. Our customers are already designing platforms with LUXEON M and LUXEON MZ to create multiple SKUs using less engineering resources,” explained Senior Vice President, Emmanuel Dieppedalle.
