Luminus introduces 5-year warranty on XNOVA chip-on-board LED arrays
8 October 2014
Luminus Devices Inc of Billerica, MA, USA has announced a five year limited warranty for the XNOVA family of chip-on-board (COB) arrays designed for both indoor and outdoor directional lighting applications.
The warranty introduction follows the recent completion of the firm’s 6000 hour LM-80 testing, which demonstrated long term color stability and robust lumen maintenance under extreme conditions, including high temperature and high drive current.
“Our XNOVA COB arrays have already been recognized by customers as having industry-leading efficacy, value, and quality of light, and now we have long term data and the 5 year warranty to give customers peace of mind knowing that their fixtures and bulbs will comply with Energy Star and deliver consistent performance for many years to come," says Jim Miller, executive, VP of sales & marketing for Luminus. "Our mission is to help our customers achieve new levels of performance in their end products, so that they can gain advantages over their competitors, and this 5 year warranty helps our customers confidently position themselves as providers of robust, long lasting bulbs and luminaires."
