Lumileds' Luxeon family allows designers to achieve desired light output with fewer LEDs than the company's original 25-lumen product, simplify engineering and manufacturing.
Mr Kobi, research and development, responsible for the optical part of the new obstruction light of Honeywell Airport Systems, said: "The Luxeon Solution Centre provided us with a customised service to develop our light solution, assisting us to find the optimum design of PCBs for the Luxeon LEDs and bringing reliability through their manufacturing expertise.
Luxeon LEDs play a key role in the creation of these new obstruction lights, providing us with a high power, durable light source that has already proved extremely successful." Using only 30 watts per light, each obstruction light incorporates 28 Luxeon LEDs with wide-angle optics to achieve a minimum of 170 candela light intensity at a 360deg angle, ensuring that the new German regulations for night marking of wind turbines are met.
Frank Harder, Lumileds Sales Manager for Germany, said: "By working with the Luxeon Solution Centre Honeywell has created a unique obstruction light that performs in the most extreme elements.
