Xicato

Enabled by Xicato’s proprietary Corrected Cold Phosphor Technology, the Xicato Spot Module performs to a very tightly controlled quality specification, above and beyond the industry standard. This technology uses a unique colour correction phosphor system separated from the LED array to both eliminate initial colour variation and keep the phosphor cold to improve long-term colour point consistency and lumen maintenance.

The phosphor correction puts an end to the color variation issues which have until now been a barrier for the market’s acceptance of LEDs. While industry standard LED binning structures allow for color points in a 7 step McAdam Ellipse, Xicato XSM modules perform to less than a 2 step McAdam Ellipse that is centered on the Black Body Locus at each CCT for a perfectly natural light appearance.  2700K, 3000K and 4000K modules that have Color Rendering Indices (CRI) of 80+  are available today with CRI 90+ versions set for release at the end of the year.

Extensive accelerated life testing proves that Xicato’s “Corrected Cold Phosphor Technology” has the ability to retain its flux levels and color point over longer periods than is possible with traditional white LEDs under the same operating conditions.  Even under the extreme conditions of our ongoing WHTOL tests (85°C, 85%RH, 1hr on/off), extrapolated lumen maintenance curves indicate less than 30% degradation at 50khrs with color maintenance within the initial Xicato color specification.

The XSM is available at flux levels up to 1000lm at application temperature, despite the relatively small size (<50mm diameter and <20mm in height). Efficacies that approach or exceed 50lm/W are achieved depending on the drive current.  This combination of attributes allows for creativity in luminaire design and at the same time comprehensive functionality.
