Lumileds launches LUXEON SkyBlue for human-centric lighting

LED maker Lumileds LLC of San Jose, CA, USA has announced the immediate availability of its new LUXEON SkyBlue LED human-centric lighting solution. In partnership with NASA-spinoff BIOS (Biological Innovations and Optimization Systems LLC) of Carlsbad, CA, Lumileds has engineered a circadian lighting solution that delivers what are claimed to be superior melanopic ratios at comfortable correlated color temperatures (CCTs) – 3000K, 3500K and 4000K – with high efficacy and uniformity at low solution cost. Consisting of LUXEON SkyBlue and white LUXEON 3030 HE Plus LEDs, the new solution is said to eliminate the challenging technical and spectral analysis and engineering and enable a single-channel driver to support circadian lighting.

LUXEON SkyBlue is specified by CCT for melanopic ratio, CRI and R9, efficacy and luminous flux and produces light within a 3 MacAdam ellipse space. Lumileds says that its unique knowledge eliminates the complex analysis, binning and supply chain issues that typically challenge a luminaire manufacturer and add to the cost and complexity of developing a solution.

“Integrating BIOS Lighting’s expertise in circadian lighting spectral requirements with Lumileds expertise in LED and solution development enabled this breakthrough approach to luminaire development,” says Willem Sillevis-Smitt, Lumileds’ head of marketing. “Our direct access to the full production from our factories and the detailed information we have about every LED allows us to dramatically simplify engineering for OEMs. LUXEON SkyBlue is simply the fastest, simplest and most cost-effective path to producing a circadian lighting luminaire,” he claims.

“As the science has progressed, HCL (human-centric lighting) has quickly risen in importance for both lighting designers and end-users,” notes Mark McClear BIOS Lighting’s chief operting officer. “Only spectrally optimized circadian lighting delivers the specific and measurable physiological impact that is desired in schools, offices, factories, health-care settings, and similar locations.”
