Blue light content is a critical factor in assessing the harm from night-time illumination. Blue light scatters more than other wavelengths which increases light pollution and glare, and it has significant impacts on the circadian rhythms and behaviors of humans, plants, and wildlife. This is why it is a particular focus of attention.

Though LEDs are often quickly – and incorrectly – identified as ‘the problem’, LEDs with correlated color temperatures of approximately 2200K – 2700K have similar levels of blue light content compared to HPS or incadescent lamps – 6-7%.

NightScape Technology is the first white light to significantly reduce the percent of blue content between 400nm and 500nm to less than 2%. Though thoughtful luminaire design, control technologies, and lighting designs that don’t ‘over-illuminate’ are necessary, it is now possible, thanks to advances in LED technology, to start with the right light for night-time illumination.

With ultra-low levels of blue light, Lumileds LEDs with NightScape Technology make it possible to meet new outdoor lighting standards – like those in Maui – without redesigning optics or fixtures

NightScape Technology

White LEDs with less than 2% blue light content reduce light pollution and are better for the environment and wildlife.

lumileds.com

San Jose, CA – Lumileds NightScape Technology has been engineered to preserve the well-being of animals, plants, and people, reduce glare and light pollution, and support dark sky initiatives. Virtually all outdoor solutions, from landscape lighting to area lighting, will be better for the environment with the application of NightScape Technology with blue light content at levels below 2%.

Scientific studies have shown that high levels of blue light content disrupts the human circadian rhythm at night and adversely affects wildlife, such as birds, insects, and turtles. Across the globe blue light content contributes to the brightening of the night sky.

Scientific studies have shown that high levels of blue light content disrupts the human circadian rhythm at night and adversely affects wildlife, such as birds, insects, and turtles. Across the globe blue light content contributes to the brightening of the night sky.

“It is within our innovation and engineering capabilities to solve real problems with LED technology and improve the lit environment,” said Willem Sillevis-Smitt, Lumileds Sr. Director of Business Development. “Too often our collective behavior is to ask how we can adjust our lighting solutions to the LEDs available. What we did instead was ask how we can address this real-world lighting problem. In this case, the potential negative impacts of blue light content are compelling. We challenged our engineers and scientists to create high-quality white light with lower blue content that could improve the night-time environment for everyone and everything.”

NightScape Technology will first be available in Lumileds LUXEON 3030 HE Plus and 5050 Square LEDs with a CCT of 1900K and blue light content of just 1.8% in the 400-500 nanometer range of the visible light spectrum. These outdoor proven emitters are widely used around the world for outdoor lighting including streetlights, pedestrian, landscape, and similar applications.

The physical dimensions and optical radiation patterns of the LUXEON 3030 HE Plus and LUXEON 5050 Square LEDs are identical to the existing parts in each portfolio. Any luminaire using either of these products or potentially from other manufacturers can quickly and easily adopt NightScape technology and produce a more environmentally friendly solution.

Wildlife, such as birds, turtles, and even insects, are susceptible to the impacts of artificial light at night on their migration, mating, and nocturnal activities. Outdoor lighting regulations are being rewritten and updated to provide some wildlife protection. Maui County in Hawaii has a new ordinance that took effect on July 1, 2023. This ordinance requires that “All outdoor lighting fixtures, except for neon, must limit short wavelength content to no more than 2 percent of blue light content.” Outdoor fixtures using LEDs with Lumileds NightScape technology will easily fall below the 2% requirement.

“With NightScape Technology, Lumileds is the first to launch a light source that is dedicated to addressing light pollution while still offering functional, long-lasting, and efficient illumination.”

— Willem Sillevis-Smitt

“I believe that NightScape technology is the first light source to purposely address the problem of light pollution and at the same time deliver good quality, functional lighting,” said Willem Sillevis-Smitt, “It’s critical that the lighting industry proactively address the impact of outdoor lighting on the environment. We’re excited to make it possible for luminaire manufacturers to reduce the impact on wildlife and dark skies.”

The amount of blue light emitted by various light sources is often misunderstood. It is typically measured as the ratio of blue light between 400 and 500 nanometers to the total amount of visible light emitted from the source. The graph below shows blue light levels for different light sources that are commonly used at night. Incandescent bulbs are more commonly used in residential settings while HPS is used more commercially.

Suresnes France, — Philips RacingVision GT200 has won the prestigious Auto Express title of Headlight of the Year in the 2023 staging of the magazine’s annual Product Awards. Lumileds, the global manufacturer of Philips automotive products, is celebrating yet another award for this pioneering headlight, further adding to the host of accolades the bulb has received since its introduction.

In its 2023 Awards Issue, Auto Express described Philips RacingVision GT200 as a shining example to the rest. The Philips bulb had the longest beam length and scored the highest on the Figure of Merit figure that combines all of the various measurement criteria that are tested. In addition, when deciding this year’s Headlight of the Year, Auto Express for the first time added in price, and therefore value, as a contributing factor to its decision.

Philips RacingVision GT200 – setting the standard for increased safety

Philips RacingVison GT200 raised the bar for halogen headlight bulbs when it was introduced a couple of years ago, as the first bulb to deliver light that was up to 200% brighter compared to the minimum legal standard.

Earlier in the year, Philips RacingVision GT200 bulb topped the Headlamp Mega-test conducted by the magazine, and the bulb has now won numerous awards across Europe for its stellar performance. It became the new benchmark for halogen headlight bulbs, the world over when it was launched in 2020, and it continues to be the standard by which other bulbs are judged.

“Auto Express has long been regarded the leading product tester of automotive products in the UK, so we are delighted that RacingVision GT200 has been recognized as 2023 Headlight of the Year,” enthuses Lumileds UK Business Manager, Richard Armstrong. “Philips headlights have an absolutely incredible record in the Auto Express Product Honours, with awards for Headlight of the Year that go back to the 1990s. In fact, Philips headlight bulbs have been adjudged the Auto Express Headlight of the Year more times, since the awards began, than all the other automotive lighting manufacturers combined, which I think speaks volumes about the ongoing drive for innovation behind our products, as well as their performance and quality.”

Up to 200% brighter light for a safe drive!

Philips RacingVision GT200 remains the flagship of the halogen range, delivering the type of super-bright visibility of a rally bulb, but in a format that drivers can use on public roads. With its ultra-performance beam reaching a full 80 meters further than the minimum length[1], Philips RacingVision GT200 lets the driver see more of the road ahead. It also helps spot potential hazards sooner, react faster, and position more accurately on the road. The optimized bulb design provides higher luminance for a better view of the road ahead, which all adds up to a safer, more satisfying driving experience.

Much of this is down to the optimized bulb design, which provides higher luminance for a better view of the road ahead, with its ultra-performance beam reaching a full 80 meters further than the minimum length. Diamond Precision quartz glass also ensures more light output within the regulation limits and guarantees a sharp cut-off line for the beam – so as not to dazzle oncoming drivers – as well as a brighter sweet spot to give more brightness where it counts. Philips RacingVision GT200’s quartz glass also gives greater thermal shock resistance, protecting the bulb’s lifespan, while enhanced UV absorption protects the car’s headlight optic.

Philips RacingVision GT200 is available in the most common headlight bulb types, H4 and H7.

A history of innovation and the promise of quality together with enhanced safety

LUXEON Core, CX, and the new CS CoB board sizes are supported by industry-standard holders and optics

San Jose, CA – Though there are many standards in the LED industry, the footprint or board size for CoBs is not one of them. Over the years, companies that manufacture CoB holders and optics have largely designed their products to support the 3 board formats that are widely adopted by lighting manufacturers. With the introduction of LUXEON CS CoBs, Lumileds now offers a full range of LUXEON CoBs in each of the common board footprints.

“OEMs choose to implement LUXEON CoBs for better efficacy, color stability, and or reliability, but they don’t want to have to redesign their system,” said Noman Rangwala, Global Product Manager at Lumileds. “Now, with the CS CoB range, it’s easy for lighting manufacturers using many of the common square board configurations to switch to LUXEON.”

The LUXEON CS CoBs incorporate all the advances that Lumileds has implemented and match the performance of the company’s Core and CX CoBs. The CS Range is a general-purpose, high-performance CoB portfolio. The CS Pro CoBs are spectrally tuned for retail lighting where a “brighter and sharper” effect on merchandise is desired. The CS HE delivers even higher levels of efficacy for applications where energy efficiency is the driving characteristic.

The new LUXEON CS Range CoBs are available now through Lumileds global distribution network and complete details for all the products can be found at https://lumileds.com/products/cob-leds/

Energy efficiency per EU Ecodesign increases one full class for LUXEON 90CRI CoBs

San Jose, CA – May 18, 2023 – Lumileds has released its 5th Generation CoBs in the Core Range and Core Range PW lines elevating output and efficacy and particularly for 90CRI parts. Output and efficacy increases for high-CRI parts are critical for the retail and hospitality industries in particular in which CoBs play a vital role as the source for spot and area lighting.

“Our new 5th Generation CoB LEDs serve lighting manufacturers’ need for more light, higher efficacy, better than ever quality of light, and reliability they can count on,” said Noman Rangwala, Global Product Manager at Lumileds. “The significant performance increases are the direct result of our unique phosphor mix and LED manufacturing experience, and our commitment to continuously advance the state-of-the-art as we address the needs of lighting manufacturers.”

Lumileds tests and measures its CoBs per the European Union’s Ecodesign Directive and by these standards, 90CRI LUXEON Core Range CoBs have increased one full class. Complete energy specifications can be found on the European Product Registry for Energy Labeling (EPREL) website.

Phosphor advances also contribute to superior color stability as the latest LUXEON Core Range CoBs are dimmed. This performance is especially critical in retail installations in which spotlights are often positioned at different distances from the merchandise. To achieve even illumination, some of the lighting is dimmed and that can result in uneven color in the beam and visual effects on the merchandise. To resolve this common problem, Lumileds focused on color stability over dimming to ensure even color throughout the light beam regardless of dimming intensity.

LUXEON CoB Core Range Gen 5 and Core Range PW Gen 5 are available now through Lumileds global distribution network. Product details, specifications and datasheets are available at https://lumileds.com.
