Tridonic has announced a rectangular OLED light engine in its Lureon Rep family, adding to the previously announced square modules, with the latest product hitting efficacy of 50 lm/W. The company also announced a new generation of TALEXXengine Stark LED-based modules with a boost in efficacy from 77 to 140 lm/W.

The rectangular OLED module measures 200×50 mm, and is less than 3 mm thick. Like all OLEDs, the panel delivers inherently diffuse light via surface emission. Tridonic targets the OLED module at desk lamps, decorative lighting strips, and pendant luminaires. It is available in dimmable or non-dimmable versions.

While the 50-lm/W system efficacy trails LED-based products considerably, the performance is still better than legacy sources and is suitable for many applications for planar lighting. Moreover, lighting designers are often worried about light quality as much as efficacy in such products. The module comes in what Tridonic calls a neutral 4000K CCT, although the CRI is greater than 90. The company also said color consistency is within a 4-step MacAdam ellipse.
