Lumileds is founded in 1999 as a joint venture between Agilent Technologies (a company of Hewlett Packard) and
Philips Lighting. Lumileds Headquarters are based in San Jose (Cal) USA, right in the hart of Silicon Valley, with
regional operations in the Netherlands and Malaysia and sales offices throughout the world.
automotive - signaling - roadway - electronics
Luxeon products are smaller, longer-lasting
and more energy-efficient than any other light source
A u t o m o t i v e l i g h t i n g The automotive industry is moving quickly towards LED lighting, and Lumileds is leading
the way with unique and innovative solid state products and solutions. The very successfull SnapLED and SuperFlux LEDs are already
used in millions of cars for the interior dashboard, dome lighting, high mount stop lights, rear-end stop/turn/tail functions, puddle
lamps and mirror turn signals. Lumileds LEDs and solutions for the automotive industry offer the designer new styling possibilities,
very reliable new light sources, additional safety and compact size. Currently the first White Luxeon LEDs are being used for daytime
running lamps, puddle lamps, and sooner than expected even head lamps may be possible with Lumileds Luxeon solutions!
S i g n a l i n g Lumileds is world leader in solid state lighting solutions for signaling applications. Millions of traffic lights
have already switched from the traditional light sources like incandescent and Halogen towards Luxeon from Lumileds. Some countries are expected to have all traffic signals retrofitted into LED signals within a few years. The benefits are clear, the efficiency of
the coloured Luxeon allows dramatic power savings. The reliability enables a virtual maintenance free intersection. Many other signaling applications like airport lighting, railway lighting, obstruction beacons and barricade lamps are now also benefiting the enormous
potential of Luxeon lighting.
R o a d w a y l i g t h i n g This market is now developing with Luxeon lighting. The first tunnels in Europe and Asia are
installed using Luxeon as the only light source. Several street light projects are installed to bring light to areas where no light has
been before by using Solar energy in combination with LED technology from Lumileds. Safe and efficient solutions in a highly driven
environment. The benefits are that sealed for life solutions are possible, that they are safe, violence proof and compact.
Maintenance costs can be reduced due to the reliability of Luxeon.
E l e c t r o n i c s The electronics market is a very broad market with many lighting needs. Luxeon from Lumileds will
enable new features to products like for example a flash for a camera phone, or will enhance colours and make LCD TV’s and LCD
Displays look even better, by replacing the traditional light source with Luxeon. The robust, small sized, reliable and energy efficient
light sources are making its entry into this huge market. Imagine LCD displays, camera-phones, scanners, projectors and barcode
readers, all equipped with Luxeon. This is already happening today and the possibilities are endless.
entertainment - architecture - city beautification - landscape
Lumileds offers designers the ability
to create lighting solutions never before possible
E n t e r t a i n m e n t l i g h t i n g Luxeon from Lumileds is bright enough to enable LED lighting in the entertainment
industry. We developed special lighting solutions for filmstudios, theatres, stagelights, disco lighting and theme parks like coloured
spotlights, flood lighting, colour changing lighting, wall wash lighting, cove lighting and column lighting. All areas have the challenge
that controllable dynamic colours are needed to make a real difference. Luxeon from Lumileds is the perfect solution for these applications. It combines colour capabilities with safety, long life, and enables more innovative and smaller light solutions.
A r c h i t e c t u r a l l i g h t i n g The possibilities are endless for creative architecture using light as a unique design
element. The examples of Luxeon from Lumileds in this market are numerous and an inspiration for any architect. Unlike bulbs,
there are no fragile components to break, even if abused. Luxeon Power Light Sources combine very high light output in any colour
you want as well as white with possible special effects through mixing red, green and blue or by using the individual colours. Luxeon
Super Flux and SnapLED products deliver design flexibility, energy savings, long life and reliability. This makes it a perfect light source
for architectural lighting.
C i t y B e a u t i f i c a t i o n People want to be proud of the city they live in. Light plays a vital role in the emotional feelings about their hometown. Luxeon now enables even more and better lighting solutions. Highlighting special buildings or bridges.
Marking lights in the town centre. Luxeon combines the advantages of reliability and energy efficiency with high light output.
L a n d s c a p e l i g h t i n g In some places it is very important that lights are always working. Especially in areas
where you want to increase safety, or where a positive atmosphere must be created. Applications such as landscape, path lighting,
parking lots, bollards, security lighting and garden lighting can now benefit from the advantages of Lumileds Superflux and Luxeon
LEDs. There are no fragile components to break, even if abused, so the robust, reliable light sources enable sealed for life designs

signage - medical - portable - interior
Lumileds’ Luxeon technology enables LEDs to match
the brightness of conventional light sources
S i g n a g e Lumileds offers innovative solid state lighting solutions for your contour lighting, band lighting, and channel
letter installations. Our Signage and Contour products utilize solid state LED technology. As a result, we offer many advantages over
other lighting technologies. It contains no glass tubes. LED-based products are simply a series of LED modules clinched on in fixed
intervals. Glass is a constant nightmare for many sign companies due to breakage caused by harsh weather, transportation, and
vandalism. LEDs operate at low voltages - 24volts. This "safe" operating voltage gives sign installers and building owners the comfort
that their signs won't be causing fires. Lumileds LED products are easy to install. And the LED products save energy: up to 80%!
M e d i c a l l i g h t i n g Luxeon from Lumileds is successfully used in many areas of the medical market. We are helping to cure skin cancer in a more painless way, because the Luxeon products contain no UV, no forward heat and no Infra Red. The
Red light source can be used very close to the skin without causing a painful experience for the patient. Doctors can now operate
under White Luxeon lighting and have sufficient light levels under a very convenient light source. The world’s first surgical lamp with
cold light and 50.000-hour life with Lumileds Advanced LED technology is scheduled for release in Q3 of this year. Also dentists are
massively adopting Luxeon based dental curing devices as it allows a cordless, smaller, lighter device which reduces curing time of
the filling epoxy.
P o r t a b l e l i g h t i n g Luxeon from Lumileds is an ideal fit for most portable lighting applications. The solid-state
technology results in an extremely rugged light. The small size of the Luxeon Power Light Source allows for a compact product
design, enabling you to differentiate yourself from your competition. High power white (and coloured) sources are available today,
enabling you to rapidly adopt this state of the art technology in flashlights, miner headlights, lanterns, bicycle lamps and diving
lamps. And they last longer: up to 50x the life of some incandescent bulbs. Combine this with the robustness and small size of the
Luxeon and you can now have a product which looks great and is sealed for life.
I n t e r i o r l i g h t i n g The real revolution is now starting in this market as well with the newly introduced Warm
White Luxeon (3200K) with improved colour rendering (~85%). The compact new light source enables new styling possibilities and
unique lighting solutions creating the magical effects of hidden source light, installed in places never before possible. Through the
use of Luxeon power light source, replacing light sources will no longer be needed. So Luxeon also offers interior designers with the
unique design possibilities and solutions to be sealed for life.
