The DL7S Profile is the first DL range fixture to receive a powerful new 800W version of the LED engine with seven colours for unprecedented smooth, stable and even colour mixing and a very high CRI.

Samsung has introduced two new white LED families in “chip-scale” packaging, at 1W & 5W power levels. The LM101B and LH231B packaging includes a TiO2 coating on the cavity wall, reflecting stray light back into the main beam.
Efficacies range from 170 – 200 lm/W, and parts are available in a range of CRI and CCT ratings.
rameters of interest, total input power and conversion efficiency have been steadily increasing over the years. An efficacy of 120 lumens/watt is fairly common nowadays, and it may not be improbable to expect double this figure in the near future. Input power ratings have also steadily increased, with single LED units capable of 100 W or more becoming common.
But the Chinese manufacturer Yuji seems to have hit the ball out of the park by introducing their BC-Series, 500 W, high CRI, high Power, COB LED. Single, 500 W COB LED’s are not new and have been available since a couple of years, but their emitting surface areas are quite large. For example, a typical eBay search throws up parts such as this one – 500 W, high Power LED, 60,000 lm, 6000-6500K. It has a large, square emitting area of 47.6 x 47.6 mm. By comparison, the Yuji BC-Series are 27 mm square, with an active emitting area only 19 mm in diameter. This small emitting area makes it easier to design efficient reflector and/or lens units for the LED.
Luminous Flux is between 18,000 to 21,000 for a color temperature of 3200 K, and between 20,000 to 24,000 for the 5600 K type.
At US $ 500 a pop, these eye blinders do not come cheap
Something tells me that the $500 retail price will clearly not likely remain that high for long. My bigger question though is how does cooling have to be handled when you put that much power in such a small surface area?
The main problem with these high output LEDs is dealing with the heat density of the package. Although it may sound like it is a good thing to have a smaller-ish package the issue will be removing the heat generated by the LED in such a small surface area (heat dramatically impacts LED lifetimes). As an example, 5000 Lumen Cree COB Leds can generate temps of about 70C with a surface temp of 135C … and that is considered “normal”… I can only imagine what the temps are for a single 20000 Lumen COB LED would be… gulp…
Now this is a step closer to relamping older digital projectors and rear projection TVs with LEDs. Bring the cost down under $100 and it’ll be worth it.
Testing a mains voltage LED from China. This one is rated 220V and 20W. It really can be connected directly to AC mains with no LED driver. 30W and 50W versions are also available. In the listings it’s called “smart IC” or “integrated driver” or “driverless” COB LED.
New packaged LEDs from the global revenue leader deliver a uniform spectral power distribution across the visible-light region and target demanding lighting applications such as museums.
Nichia is notoriously quiet about its LED development work and rarely publishes a press release on new products, so the Optisolis launch came as a bit of a surprise. Still, the company would provide few details other than spectral power distribution (SPD) and CRI graphs that support the claims of top-notch color rendering.
Photography is one of those areas where the suppliers seem to grossly exaggerate the power ratings of their lamps. As in this case.
But it’s quite an attractive style of lamp and on a plus note the LEDs aren’t being grilled.
Traditional one beam stage lighting is quickly becoming obsolete with the onset of programmable and multicolored LED stage lights. There are a myriad of complex parts.
On this subject, LED’s these days are available in only three levels of brightness; blinding, eyeball-melting, or “starting the back of your head on fire” brightness.

Looks like those would be fun to play around with! Those remind me of a recent install we did at a nightclub in Toronto.
