New RGBL technology from Luminus improves color rendering in stage and architectural lighting

Luminus introduces the new series of 4-in-1 RGBL (Red-Green-Blue-Lime) LEDs, newly developed for stage and architectural lighting systems. This has been specially designed for the requirements of stage and architectural lighting, where outstanding color mixing and a high color rendering index (CRI) are essential.

 
Why RGBL?

The key advantage of the RGBL LEDs is the use of the Lime chip with a dominant wavelength of 570nm, which replaces the conventional cold white LED in the traditional 4-in-1 RGBW LEDs. This change expands the color space and improves brightness. The RGBL LEDs provide best-in-class lumen output at maximum current while maintaining a high CRI of over 85, ensuring brilliant illumination across the entire color temperature range from 3000K to 8000K. All channels can be operated with up to 3A and 100% DC, enabling high light output with uncompromising reliability.

Color Dominante wavelength Chip emitting area Max. operating current Light output @ 3A
SBM-40-RGBL Red 622 nm 1x1 mm 3 A 110 – 150 lm
Green 525 nm 220 – 320 lm
Blue 454 nm 1100 – 1600 mW
Lime 4000K CCT 360 – 500 lm

The advantages of RGBL LED technology

  • Increased brightness and color rendering: Compared to conventional RGBW LEDs, RGBL technology typically improves brightness by 20% and offers a higher CRI. This results in a more vivid and natural color rendering.
  • Reliability through ceramic phosphor technology: This technology ensures better durability and reliability of the LEDs, making them particularly suitable for demanding applications.
  • Uniform color distribution: Thanks to the narrow wavelength ranges of less than 6nm for the R-G-B channels and the precise color space (CIEx, CIEy coordinates) of the Lime channel, uniform and accurate color mixing is guaranteed.
  • Easy interchangeability: The standard footprint (4768 SMT) enables easy conversion from previous 4-in-1 RGBW LEDs to the new RGBL LEDs, resulting in seamless product upgrades.

Technical highlights

  • 4-in-1 LED: Powerful color mixing applications are made possible by the RGBL LEDs with narrow wavelength ranges:
    • Red (R): 619-625 nm
    • Green (G): 520-526 nm or 524-530 nm
    • Blue (B): 450-455 nm or 453-458 nm
    • Lime (L): central color locus CIEx=0.4165 and CIEy=0.5175
  • High CRI: The Lime chip ensures optimum light output with a high CRI of >85.
  • Thermal conductivity: The package offers high thermal conductivity, which contributes to the longevity and efficiency of the LEDs.
  • Compact design: The minimal distance between the four chips allows for easy light collection and color mixing.
  • High operating current: The LEDs can be operated with up to 3A per color, which enables high light output without compromising reliability.

Wide range of applications

The RGBL LEDs from Luminus are suitable for a wide range of applications, including:

  • Entertainment and stage lighting: Create stunning light shows with vibrant colors and high brightness.
  • Architectural lighting: Impressively highlight buildings and monuments.
  • Spotlights: Perfect for accent lighting and targeted lighting accents.
  • Pool and fountain lighting: Create fascinating water features with brilliant colors.
  • Medical technology: Optimal lighting solutions for medical applications.
  • Fibre-coupled lighting and image processing: Precise and reliable lighting for specialized applications.

The new RGBL LED technology from Luminus not only offers outstanding color mixing and brightness, but also improved reliability and flexibility for a wide range of lighting applications. With its innovative features and benefits, the RGBL LED series is the ideal choice for anyone who doesn't want to compromise on their lighting solution.
