Date Announced: 24 Feb 2009 San Jose, CA – Philips Lumileds’ announced today that test data for its Luxeon Rebel LEDs shows performance that exceeds Energy Star® guidelines intended to ensure quality solid-state luminaire development. The data shows that Luxeon Rebel LEDs have average lumen maintenance of 99% after 6,000 hours, far surpassing the 91.8% Energy Star requirements for residential fixtures as well as available published data for other power LEDs. The results reinforce the superior lumen maintenance performance that has been a hallmark of Luxeon LEDs since they were introduced in 2000, They reflect the ability of the materials used to build Luxeon LEDs — including those used in the Epitaxial process, the phosphors, and the lens and packaging materials — to withstand the rigors of use and the elements to which they might be exposed under a variety of conditions without degrading the light output too rapidly.
