Directions Not Required: GE LED Module Makes Upgrading to LEDs SimpleFRANKFURT, GERMANY, APRIL 2010 - The new Infusion™ LED module from GE Lighting debuts as a high performing and energy-efficient LED (light-emitting diode) lighting system at Light+Building 2010. Luminaires incorporating Infusion™ LED Modules will light up retail displays in the GE Lighting booth to demonstrate how the puck-shaped LED module provides lighting designers and end-users with the ability to easily upgrade LED lighting—addressing the inflexibility of integrated LED luminaires used in commercial and consumer settings. This new, revolutionary module from GE Lighting makes luminaires upgradeable and serviceable with a simple clockwise twist that mates the LED module to the fixture housing for necessary thermal, electrical and mechanical connectivity. The module‘s ease of installation contrasts sharply with current integrated LED luminaires and LED modules that are not easily replaceable because they require mechanical fasteners to couple the LED package to a heat sink, and a plug to make the electrical connection. The new Infusion™ LED module allows new state of the art luminaires to be developed for downlighting and spotlighting applications, which can be upgraded as LED technology continues to advance at a rapid pace. “We are delighted with the overwhelmingly positive response we have received from lighting professionals who have been seeking ways to incorporate LEDs into an increasing number of projects. As we roll out this technology, we expect the use of LEDs in professional indoor applications to accelerate dramatically,” says Andy Davies, Senior Product Manager, LED Solutions, GE Lighting EMEA. One lighting luminaire can support a variety of different LED modules with varying colour temperatures, beam angles and light levels. An added level of lighting design flexibility is enabled with the Infusion™ LED module‘s wattage-adjust switch that gives end-users three different light level/wattage options. The Infusion™ platform is being developed with lumen packages from 400 to 3000, colour rendering levels of 80 and 90, three colour temperatures of 2700, 3000 and 4000K, and precisely controlled optics in a variety of beam angles. In the near future, versions will be announced with broad, forward emitting optics that can be shaped according to the fixture manufacturers needs. This wide variety of combinations will allow many application needs to be fulfilled, from accent lighting in shops to ambient downlighting in offices, schools and hotels. LED technology advancements are coming faster than ever. With the new GE Lighting LED Infusion™ module, end-users can achieve LED lighting that over its life can be considered state-of-the-art in quality, efficiency and control.
