May 29, 2008... Philips Lighting has introduced its new Fortimo family of downlight modules at LightFair International in Las Vegas, Nevada USA. According to the company, the downlight modules demonstrate the general lighting capabilities of the LUXEON Rebel power LEDs. The company says that the Fortimo family of modules accompanying thermal and power systems, enable lighting OEMs to quickly and easily equip the architectural and specification communities with complete white and tunable downlight solutions. LED-based lighting modules, such as Fortimo, as well as Philips' Lexel RGB-type module solutions, can potentially reduce energy consumption by as much as 50% compared to CFL. In contrast to the single CCT Fortimo, the Lexel modules can deliver fully CCT-controllable white illumination in the similarly compact footprint the the LUXEON Rebel enables.

The Fortimo downlight module (DLM) 1100 uses 18 royal-blue LUXEON Rebel LEDs and a remote phosphor lens at the top of a mixing chamber to create a white-light module delivering 1100 lumens of light output with an efficiency of 62 lm/W. A second version of the Fortimo module delivers 2000 lm at 45 lm/W, which was initially introduced with a 4000K correlated color temperature, uses different remote phosphor lenses to allow for the possibility of additional white CCT options in the future.
