FRANKFURT & BILLERICA, Mass. - (BUSINESS WIRE) - Luminus Devices, developer and manufacturer of big-chip PhlatLight LEDs, today announced that it provides the light source inside Martin Professional's new MAC 350 Entour , the world's first high output LED-based, mercury-free, profile light. The MAC 350 Entour comes equipped with seven CBT-90 white PhlatLight LEDs and has a total light output of 6,500 lumens, light levels previously achieved only with high energy discharge lamps. The MAC 350 Entour has a lifespan of more than 25,000 hours.

The MAC 350 Entour is well suited for touring and event environments, and permanent venues such as theatres, TV studios, sporting arenas, education facilities, night clubs, ballrooms and cruise ships, where high-brightness and performance is needed. Until now, profile lights have used traditional high intensity discharge (HID) lamps, that are costly to replace, contain mercury and have a life span of only 3,000 hours, necessitating frequent replacement.

"With superior lumen output the CBT-90 PhlatLight LED provides lighting designers an ultra-bright, point-source of white light with superior optical coupling enabling new applications with better optical system efficiency," said Don McDaniel, director, global entertainment, Luminus Devices. "Big-chip PhlatLight LEDs are ideally suited for spot lights such as the MAC 350 Entour because they provide superior brightness and a lifetime of use for companies such as Martin."

"The MAC 350 Entour is the entertainment lighting industry's first LED alternative to traditional HID-based profile fixtures and it exceeds traditional 300 watt fixtures in brightness," said Peter Skytte, product manager, Martin. "Award-winning PhlatLight LEDs are energy-efficient, contain no mercury and give Martin the ability to develop new, more cost-effective entertainment industry based lights that are ideal for a host of temporary and permanent environments."
