Marl is extending its reach into the street and flood lighting markets with the launch of what it believes is one of the world’s brightest and most efficient LEDs from Citizen. The new Citizen CL-L233 delivers an intense 1335 lumens of white light for a power output of 13W at a colour temperature of 5,000K. CL-L233 delivers this light over a narrow 120 degree beam, eliminating the well known light pollution caused by most street lighting technologies. The product provides a much more cost effective method, compared with existing LED products, which normally feature arrays of 1W LEDs.
Marl believes the CL-L233 extends the potential for LED technology into applications such as spotlights for stadiums and concerts, security and perimeter lighting, and street and industrial site illumination. Marl’s LED specialists have set about developing LED assemblies based on the Citizen LED to address these market opportunities.
The packaging for the CL-L233 has been carefully developed to maximise the performance and efficiency of the product, and features a highly efficient heat release mechanism. The unit is 23mm x 17.5mm x 1.4mm and is designed for screw mounting to a heat sink. Citizen CL-L233 LEDs draw up to 720mA of forward current at 18.6V.
