Philips Fortimo SLM Gen 8 – High Efficiency

Philips Fortimo SLM Gen 8 – High Efficiency

The Philips Fortimo SLM Gen 8 – High Efficiency is a high-quality, point-shaped COB LED module for professional lighting fixtures. Signify developed this generation as the successor to the Fortimo SLM G7 HE+ series. As a result, Gen 8 combines higher efficiency with improved durability and high light quality.

In addition, the product family consists of a wide range of configurations. This allows luminaire manufacturers to precisely tailor the light output, color quality, LES size, and mechanical footprint to the luminaire.

Efficiency of up to approximately 180 lm/W

The Fortimo SLM Gen 8 High Efficiency was developed for high energy efficiency. Signify positions the product family with an efficiency of up to approximately 180 lm/W.

As a result, high light output can be combined with relatively low power consumption. In addition, Gen 8 offers better efficiency and performance than the previous G7 HE+ generation.

CRI 80 and CRI 90

The series includes both CRI 80 if CRI 90 versions. This allows the module to be selected based on the desired balance between efficiency and color rendering.

For applications that require particularly accurate color reproduction, CRI 90 offers clear advantages. In addition, CRI 80 models are available for projects where maximum efficiency is more important.

2 SDCM Color Consistency

Fortimo SLM Gen 8 High Efficiency offers an initial color consistency of 2 SDCM. As a result, visible differences in light color between comparable modules remain very limited.

This makes the series suitable for professional projects in which multiple spotlights or downlights must work together to create a uniform light pattern.

Standard, PremiumWhite, and PremiumColor

Signify offers a variety of lighting recipes within the Gen 8 High Efficiency family. This allows the light quality to be further tailored to the room's intended use.

• Standard – for general professional lighting
• PremiumWhite – for high-quality white light
• PremiumColor – for applications where color reproduction is particularly important

This allows the same Fortimo SLM family to be used for a wide variety of professional lighting concepts.

G8 and G8N footprints

The series uses industry-standard G8 and G8N footprints. This allows the module to be easily integrated into compatible COB holders, optics, and luminaire designs.

In addition, the standardized footprint offers greater flexibility for future product development. This allows for the use of different versions within a single luminaire platform.

Wide range of LES formats

The product family includes various Light Emitting Surface sizes. For example, the current modules include, among others, 9 mm, 15 mm, and 22 mm LES.

A smaller LES enables a compact and precise beam. In contrast, a larger LES can be used for higher light outputs. This allows the module to be precisely tailored to the desired optics.

Wide range of light outputs

Due to the wide range of configurations, the light output also varies significantly. Compact Gen 8 modules deliver around 1,000 to 2,000 lumens, while more powerful models reach several thousand lumens.

For example, a current 19 × 19 mm CRI 90 model delivers approximately 5,010 lumens. A larger 28 × 28 mm version reaches approximately 5,845 lumens. In addition, there are even more powerful configurations within the family.

Improved robustness

Signify has also improved the durability of Gen 8. For example, this generation offers better corrosion resistance than the previous generation.

As a result, the platform is suitable for professional lighting fixtures where reliability and a long service life are important.

50,000-hour service life

Signify specifies a service life of 50,000 hours. In addition, a five-year system warranty applies to any suitable system.

As a result, the series provides a reliable foundation for professional lighting fixtures with high operating hours.
