CBT-120 Product Datasheet
Technology Overview
Luminus Big Chip LEDs™ benet from a suite of innovations in the elds of chip technology, packaging and thermal management. These
breakthroughs allow illumination engineers and designers to achieve solutions that are high brightness and high eciency.
Photonic Lattice Technology
Luminus photonic lattice technology enables large area LED
chips with uniform brightness over the entire LED chip surface.
The optical power and brightness produced by these large
monolithic chips enable solutions which replace arc and
halogen lamps where arrays of traditional high power LEDs
cannot.
For red, green and blue LEDs, the photonic lattice structures
extract more light and create radiation patterns that are more
collimated than traditional LEDs. Having higher collimation
from the source increases optical collection eciencies and
simplies optical designs.
Packaging Technology
Thermal management is critical in high power LED applications.
With a thermal resistance from junction to heat sink of 0.7º C/W,
Luminus CBT-120 LEDs have the lowest thermal resistance of
any LED on the market. This allows the LED to be driven at
higher current densities while maintaining a low junction
temperature, thereby resulting in brighter solutions and longer
lifetimes.
Reliability
Designed from the ground up, Luminus Big Chip LEDs are one of
the most reliable light sources in the world today. Big Chip LEDs
have passed a rigorous suite of environmental and mechanical
stress tests, including mechanical shock, vibration, temperature
cycling and humidity, and have been fully qualied for use in
extreme high power and high current applications. With very
low failure rates and median lifetimes that typically exceed
60,000 hours, Luminus Big Chip LEDs are ready for even the
most demanding applications.
Environmental Benets
Luminus LEDs help reduce power consumption and the amount
of hazardous waste entering the environment. All Big Chip LED
products manufactured by Luminus are RoHS compliant and
free of hazardous materials, including lead and mercury.
Understanding Big Chip LED Test Specications
Every Luminus LED is fully tested to ensure that it meets the high quality standards expected from Luminus’ products.
Testing Temperature
Luminus core board products are typically measured in such a
way that the characteristics reported agree with how the
devices will actually perform when incorporated into a system.
This measurement is accomplished by mounting the devices on
a 40ºC heat sink and allowing the device to reach thermal
equilibrium while fully powered. Only after the device reaches
equilibrium are the measurements taken. This method of
measurement ensures that Luminus Big Chip LEDs perform in
the eld just as they are specied.
Multiple Operating Points (4.2 A, 18 A, 30 A)
The tables on the following pages provide typical optical and
electrical characteristics. Since the LEDs can be operated over a
wide range of drive conditions(currents from <1A to 30 A, and
duty cycle from <1% to 100%), multiple drive conditions
are listed.
CBT-120 devices are production specied at 18 A. The values
shown at 4.2 A and 30 A are for additional reference at other
possible drive conditions.

Reference Optical and Electrical Characteristics (Theat sink = 40 ºC)1
Common Characteristics
Absolute Maximum Ratings
Note 1: All ratings are based on operation with a constant heat sink temperature Ths =40ºC. See Thermal Resistance section for Ths denition.
Note 2: Listed drive conditions are typical for common applications. CBT-120 devices can be driven at currents ranging from <1 A to 30 A and at duty cycles
ranging from 1% to 100%. Drive current and duty cycle should be adjusted as necessary to maintain the junction temperature desired to meet
application lifetime requirements.
Note 3: Current Density of 2.5 A/mm2. Rated at 50% duty cycle and Pulsed operation frequency of f>360Hz;
Note 4: Unless otherwise noted, values listed are typical. Devices are production tested and specied at 18 A. Values at 4.2 A and 30 A are for reference only.
Note 5: Total ux from emitting area at listed dominant wavelength. Reported performance is included to show trends for a selected power level. For specic
minimum and maximum values, use bin tables. For product roadmap and future performance of devices, contact Luminus.
Note 6: Minimum and Maximum Dominant Wavelengths are based on typical values +/- 5nm for Red, +/- 8nm for Green and +/- 6nm for Blue.
Note 7: In CIE 1931 chromaticity diagram coordinates, normalized to X+Y+Z=1.
Note 8: For reference only.
Note 9: CBT-120 LEDs are designed for operation to an absolute maximum current as specied above. Product lifetime data is specied at recommended
forward drive currents. Sustained operation at or beyond absolute maximum currents will result in a reduction of device life ime compared to
recommended forward drive currents. Actual device lifetimes will also depend on junction temperature. Refer to the lifetime derating curves for
further information. In pulsed operation, rise time from 10-90% of forward current should be larger than 0.5 microseconds.
Note 10: Lifetime dependent on LED junction temperature. Input power and thermal system must be properly managed to ensure lifetime. See charts on pg 9
for further information.
Note 11: Special design considerations must be observed for operation under 1 A. Please contact Luminus for further information.
Note 12: Caution must be taken not to stare at the light emitted from these LEDs. Under special circumstances, the high intensity could damage the eye.
