Author: SSLighting Design News Staff

March 9, 2010... Nexxus Lighting of Charlotte, North Carolina USA has begun production and shipment of its new Array Quantum LED R30 replacement light bulb that the company developed in conjunction with QD Vision. Nexxus says that this is the first commercially available LED lamp that utilizes quantum dots. It reportedly delivers 2700K, high-color rendering (91 CRI) incandescent warm white light at 60 lumens per watt.

The new Array Quantum LED R30 features the new co-developed Quantum Light Optic from QD Vision and unique LED package from Citizen Electronics combined with Nexxus' patented and patent pending design and Selective Heat Sink thermal management system. Nexxus claims that the Array Quantum LED R30 will deliver the highest efficiency 90+ CRI system currently available on the market.

"After announcing this project in 2009, it is very exciting to see our vision come to life with product finally flowing down the assembly line and into the marketplace," said Mike Bauer, president and CEO of Nexxus Lighting, Inc. "In collaboration with QD Vision, we have developed a product that trumps competitors who are offering high CRI, but very low lumens per watt and set a new industry standard."

"Our Quantum Light(TM) Optic is the first product that allows manufacturers to make warmer-colored, high-efficiency LED lamps, which is seen as essential to their widespread adoption," said Dr. Dan Button, QD Vision President and CEO. "This new lamp from Nexxus Lighting demonstrates the value of Quantum Dots for solid state lighting applications." Nexxus Lighting News Release
