Date Announced: 13 Apr 2012 Frankfurt, Germany - Light + Building - Luminus Devices, Inc., and Fraen Optics today announced the release of the FML series of optics, specifically designed to maximize the performance of Luminus SST-90 and SSM-80 LEDs. The new family of patent-pending total internal reflection (TIR) optics, in conjunction with Luminus Big Chip LED technology, establishes a new performance benchmark for power, uniformity and efficiency. When mated with Luminus' SST-90 warm white LED, the FML spot optic produces a full divergence angle under 10-degrees with an industry leading l7,000 candela and Energy Star compliant efficacy. The FML series consists of a complete range of optics with output beam patterns including spot, narrow, medium, wide, elliptical and flood."The new FML optics from Fraen are truly game changing," said Chuck DeMilo, Global Director of Product Marketing for Luminus. "We have always led the pack in our ability to generate a lot of light from our LEDs, and now the FML optics enable our customers to capture and deliver those lumens on task at unprecedented levels of intensity, efficiency and uniformity. Using an LED to outperform a 50W MR-16 halogen lamp used to be a dream, but the combination of technologies from Luminus and Fraen has made this a reality."TIR optics are frequently preferred over reflectors due to higher optical efficiency and center beam brightness in spot lighting applications. According to David Cohen, Chief Operating Officer of Fraen Optics, "Fraen really pushed the limits of physics with this new family of optics. Part of the secret sauce with the FML series is an innovative optical mixing chamber that homogenizes the input from the LED to deliver a stunningly uniform beam." Cohen added, "Luminus LEDs are unique because optically they can be considered a high intensity point source of light, and this opens many new degrees of freedom for our optical designers."Luminus will be exhibiting at the upcoming Light + Building exhibition in Frankfurt, Germany at the Messe Frankfurt from April 15-20 in Hall 4.2, Stand G02, where the new optics will be on display.Technical specifications and ordering information for Luminus SST-90 and SSM-80 LEDs can be found at www.luminus.com .
