Future development of the maximum luminance of LEDs

Wow, it pulled 13A with a single cell? That is an impressively low Vf, even the 219C 90cri only pulled around 10-11A.

How does it compare to the flat black / flat white in throw?

Same or even better in throw than white flat 1mm with more lumens and wide screen tv die projection :slight_smile:

Edit: Why I said it may be better than white flat 1mm? Because I can not measure that with mine fet driver configuration since it pulls a lot of current and thus generates a lot of heat which could have influence on performance.

Some regulated configuration in multi cell lights with better cooling potential will show real nature of this emitter.

If I would have to place a bet who would win between 1mm or 2mm White Flat I would place a bet on this new White Flat 2 mm.

Since it is not suitable for my fet driver single 18650 light configuration I am really looking forward for real builds BLF members will bring with this new White Flat 2mm.

Comparison pic between new White Flat 2mm(sorry I really can’t remember full name) and XP-G2 S4 2B DD

It’s the same LED technology but with just a bigger die.
Since the physical size is the same it will always perform worse than the smaller emitter because it has a larger die area and therefore requires more wattage to achieve the same cd/mm^2
More watts and same cooling pad area = worse performance as you increase the current.

The boost HX aka CULPM1.TG which has a physically larger size has the chance to perform better.

The datasheet says the die is 1.59:1.25, (1.272:1) which is 12.72:10. Much closer to 4:3 regular tv aspect ratio (1.33:1) than 16:9 widescreen. (1.77:1)

:slight_smile:

Maybe reason is this?:

I am not able to keep up with the latest developments in LED tech now days. If ya’ll find the “perfect throw king” LED let me know.

I have a few lights that might work well with a super thrower LED like these if they pan out.

Yeah probably.
Some of my international packages came in, others no.
It will just take a long while, not your fault.

Yes that happens in mine host. But for couple of seconds mine tested White flat 2mm at 9-10A has same or slightly better performance as tested White flat 1mm driven at 5.8A.

There is still that 10% of lux variations that can happen between emitters so if you got worse 1mm and better 2mm wf could actually win imho.

So this is obviously emitter for someone like you Enderman. Better cooling methods etc… Really don’t know why you don’t have wish to try it. You will have to wait for a long time until HX appears :slight_smile:

The transient temperature response will be completely different for both LEDs.
The reason the 1mm is getting worse performance is probably because 5.8A is past the peak of the output curve, while the 2mm is still not at its peak at 9-10A.
The proper way to compare them is to put them on a proper CPU heatsink, make current-output curves to find the peak of the curve (at steady state obviously, not only after a few seconds), and then compare the peak luminance at those peaks.

Once the post strike in canada finished I will immediately buy a few CSLPM1.TGs to test and I’ll show you what I mean.

XP-E2(the best version is torch i think) is beaten by larger brother XP-G2?

Imho there are plenty of stuff that can strike us like bad re flow, bad emitter pick, thermal path, so you never can be 100% sure…

I will place bet on 2mm version anyway. :+1: Looking forward for your test.

I have added the new Osram LEDs. The thermal resistance of the Boost HX shows why it will probably be way better than all the others.

I have no idea how this project product compares to crystals, sintered phosphor, etc. PDF claims it has taken 445nm laser powers up to 30W/mm2 on metal and on glass substrates. Has 96CRI at 5500K tint option. Seems like it would be handy for replacing damage phosphor layers on flip chip LED’s.

Does anybody have anything on the Boost HX recently?

Any one going to add the info on the SST20?

The_Driver, could you please add Lumileds Luxeon CZ to the table?
It seems to have the lowest thermal resistance of any 1 mm² LEDs that I’ve seen. Though I’m not sure if they mean real or electrical resistance, the datasheet is unclear about that. If that’s electrical - it’s still very good but no longer special.

Though then there’s a tiny thermal pad which will spoil performance for sure. If indium solder really brings actual improvements, these are going to be relatively high with this LED.

ADDED: This Luxeon C document (not CZ) makes me believe they mean electrical resistance. I’m not really surprised….still, resistance is good and I think this LED should easily get intense enough to deserve a its place in the table on the first page.

I have added it, maybe you can help me fill some of the data fields.
I’m very sceptical regarding the maximum performance.

I don’t expect it to play in the same league as automotive LEDs really.
But:

  • very small footprint may be good for tight packing multiple LEDs
  • it goes up to CRI90 :slight_smile:

And I think it’s likely to be the throwiest LED on the market with CRI>70. :slight_smile:

Area of the heat conducting solder pad:
1.08 mm²
max. rated LED temperature Tj:
135°C

Other fields need testing. :frowning:

Luminus SST-20 CRI95 seems to be over 100 cd/mm² though the precision of my calculations is too low to call it definitive:

CRI70 variant is over 100 for sure. I’m sure I’ve see it tested somewhere but can’t find it now….
