Samsung Indoor High-Performance LED Linear Modules — the H-Series

September 7, 2016

Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd.’s “H-series Gen 3,” a new line-up of high efficacy LED linear modules, enables easy replacement of fluorescent lights with LED lamps.

“With our new H-series, Samsung continues to lead the high-end industry segment for LED components through constant technology innovation,” says Jacob Tarn, Executive Vice President, LED Business Team, Samsung Electronics. “We are directing our technology expertise to improving the quality of LED lighting by significantly enhancing our LED components’ performance and overall competitiveness.”

Samsung’s H-series Gen 3 provides light efficacy reaching up to 187 lumen per watt (lm/W) at 4000K, which allows LED luminaires using the modules to achieve light efficacy above 140lm/W, delivering an optic efficiency level of about 86% and LED driver efficiency of approximately 88%.

Currently, Samsung offers several linear LED module line-ups: the

• V-series for cost-effective applications
• M-, S- and F-series for standard LED lighting segments
• H-series for high-performance LED products

Samsung’s H-series Gen 3 uses the LM561C, the mid-power LED package with the highest efficacy in its LM561-series line-up. As a result, the H-series Gen 3 has obtained 18-26% higher efficacy than the company’s M-series Gen 2 modules. This feature makes the H-series Gen 3 line-up well suited to meet DLC Premium standards — technical requirements for LED lighting solutions suggested by DesignLights Consortium. DLC standards are well recognized in the North American region as a preferred means of evaluating LED lighting products in terms of performance and quality.

The H-series comes in three sizes: 1120mm (4 ft.) 560mm (2 ft.) and 280mm/275mm (1 ft.). As the premium version of the company’s M-series and S-series line-ups, the H-series has the same form factors as those modules (see chart below), while providing a performance level that more than satisfies the high demands of the U.S. and EU luminaire markets.

Samsung’s M-series has been certified by UL, a product quality certification standards organization in the U.S., while the S-series has been certified by CE and ENEC, similar standards bodies in the EU. Sharing the form factors and quality certifications of Samsung’s M- and S-series, the H-series allows lighting manufacturers to select their LED modules according to the specific operating conditions of their applications.
