NewEnergy launches linear module using Luminus LEDs
Luminus Inc of Sunnyvale, CA, USA – which designs and makes LEDs and solid-state technology (SST) light sources for illumination markets – and North Carolina-based NewEnergy LLC have introduced new linear modules built with Salud MP3030 LEDs.
Salud LEDs are engineered to achieve specific melanopic/photopic ratios in addition to providing light that is both comfortable and renders true colors. NewEnergy’s Salud linears deliver light that aims to keep people healthy, alert and productive and are available in correlated color temperatures (CCTs) of 3000K, 4000K and 5000K. The linear modules are suitable for indoor applications including offices, schools, nursing homes, retail locations, hospitals and medical facilities – places where comfortable lighting and smart design can promote productivity and wellness.
The standards of the International WELL Building Institute (IWBI) have paved the way for the design, creation and implementation of spaces that promote human health and wellness, as well as daily productivity. The Salud linears can aid the design and creation of space that is both welcoming and healthy. The high melanopic ratios of the 3000K, 4000K and 5000K linear boards can enable lighting designers to meet the equivalent melanopic lux (EML) requirement of the WELL Building standard without having to use cool CCTs like 6500K and without having to over-light the environment.
Features of the linear modules include the following:
- an engineered spectrum with enhanced cyan for melatonin suppression;
- full-spectrum emission (no cyan gap);
- color rendering Ra>90;
- enriched 660nm emission for natural skin tones and excellent red rendering;
- configurable with off-the-shelf optics; and
- 4000K Salud suitable for luminaires requiring compliance with the Cyanosis Observation Index (COI).
The modules are available through NewEnergy’s distribution channels including Digi-Key Corp and Mouser.
