SST-50 - Product Datasheet
Technology Overview
PhlatLight LEDs benefit from a suite of innovations in the fields of chip technology, packaging, and thermal management. These break-
throughs allow illumination designers to achieve efficient light engine designs and deliver high brightness solutions.
PhlatLight Technology
The name PhlatLight is derived from Photonic Lattice. Photonic
lattice technology creates true surface emission from the source,
which enables large area LED chips with uniform brightness over
the entire LED chip surface. The optical power and brightness
produced by these large monolithic chips enable solutions which
replace arc and halogen lamps where arrays of traditional high
power LEDs cannot.
Reliability
Designed from the ground up, PhlatLight LEDs are one of the most
reliable light sources in the world today. PhlatLight LEDs have
passed a rigorous suite of environmental and mechanical stress
tests, including mechanical shock, vibration, temperature cycling
and humidity, and have been fully qualified for use in extreme
high power and high current applications. With very low failure
rates and median lifetimes that are well above 60,000 hours,
PhlatLight LEDs are ready for the most demanding applications.
Packaging Technology
Thermal management is critical in high power LED applications.
With a thermal resistance from junction to case of 2.45 °C/W,
PhlatLight SST-50 devices have among the lowest thermal resis-
tance values of any LED on the market. This allows the LED to be
driven at higher current densities while maintaining a low junc-
tion temperature, thereby resulting in brighter and longer life-
times. The package is easy to use, and ready to be mounted in
the lighting system.
Environmental Benefits
PhlatLight LEDs help reduce power consumption and the amount
of hazardous waste entering the environment. All PhlatLight
products manufactured by Luminus are RoHS compliant and free
of hazardous materials, including lead and mercury.
Understanding PhlatLight Test Specifications
Every PhlatLight LED device is fully tested to ensure that it meets the high quality standards of Luminus’ products.
Multiple Operating Points (1.75A, 5.0A)
The tables on the following pages provide typical optical and
electrical characteristics. Since the LEDs can be operated over a
wide range of drive conditions (currents from less than 1.0A to
5.0A, and duty cycle from <1% to 100%) multiple drive conditions
are listed.
PhlatLight SST-50 devices are production tested at 1.75A. The
values shown at 5.0A are for additional reference at other possi-
ble drive conditions.
