Development of LED for lighting, ‘COB Series, Version 5’
- Reducing thermal resistance by 35 % of that of the current model -
Citizen Electronics Co., Ltd. (Head Office: Fujiyoshida City, Yamanashi Prefecture.
President: Yoshihiro Gohta) has developed LEDs for lighting, “COB *1 Series, Version 5,” by
improving performance of our current models. The products will be exhibited during the
‘Hong Kong International Lighting Fair 2015’ starting on October 27, 2015.
LED packages for lighting, ‘COB Series, Version 5’
Series: 4 series and 13 types
Maximum luminous flux: 29 lm to 64,184 lm (0.2 W to 526 W)
Applications: LED bulbs, downlights, streetlights, floodlights, stadium lighting, etc.
Mass production is scheduled to start in January 2016
CLU028 Series
CLU038 Series
CLU048 Series
CLU058 Series
◆Main features
1. Luminous efficacy and luminous flux have been improved by up to 7 % respectively over
those of the current model
Luminous efficacy and luminous flux have been improved by up to 7 % over those of the
current model through enhancement of light extraction efficiency and heat dissipation.
* Comparison of the two models below made when they light up under the same conditions
(3000K, Ra 80 min., Tj=85ºC)
New product:
Current model:
Luminous flux
3,586 lm
3,389 lm
[about 6 % increase]
Luminous efficacy
144 lm/W
136 lm/W
[about 6 % increase]
Product code
CLU038-1208C4
CLU036-1208C1
2. Thermal resistance has been reduced 35 % of that of the current model
As a result of improvement in manufacturing accuracy, thermal resistance has been reduced
by 35 % of that of the current model.
New product:
Current model:
Thermal resistance
0.51 ºC /W
0.78 ºC /W
[about 35 % reduction]
Product code
CLU038-1208C4
CLU036-1208C1
As a result of the reduction in thermal resistance, the following advantageous effects can be
expected:
1) Luminous flux is increased due to decrease in Tj value (junction temperature).
2) As a result of the range of temperature at which the products can be used being increased,
the range of driving power is also increased
3) Heat sink can be miniaturized while the same luminous flux as that of the current model
is retained.
