Lux on Target: LedEngin's LuxDot™ MR16 Replacement Lamp Breaks 35W Halogen Performance Barrier

New, high-brightness LED lamp delivers a smooth, superior-quality light beam to a target area, with 80-percent-reduced power consumption and over 10 times the service life of a 35-watt halogen

SANTA CLARA, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--LedEngin, Inc. announces the launch of LuxDot, its newest LED MR16 lamp capable of replacing 35W halogen lamps at Lightfair in New York City, May 5-7. While LuxDot’s high flux density is par of 35W halogen, the precision optical design enables LuxDot to exceed the halogen beam quality by providing a bright, uniform light distribution that eliminates hot spots and dark rings. LuxDot is available in both 2900 K and 3100 K color temperatures (CCT) with excellent color rendering particularly in the warmer red and flesh-tone regions of the spectrum that have been a challenge for some LED solutions. LuxDot gives users 80% reduction in power use and a stunning 50,000 hours of service life for pay back times less than 9 months.

“It’s designed with emphasis on delivering targeted, quality light which we call ‘Lux on Target™’. Superior performance combined with LuxDot’s uncompromising fit into the MR16 format will bring LED MR16 lamps into the forefront for lighting specification.”

LuxDot offers the quality and quantity of light ideal for spot, accent, track and down lighting applications in a narrow flood beam pattern. It is plug-and-play compatible with standard MR16 based fixtures and provides uncompromising fit, form and performance compared to 35W halogen MR16 lamps. Museums, hotels, restaurants, retail stores, and many other venues will benefit from incorporating LuxDot into their directional lighting installations.
