A Point Source Lighting Revolution
Efficiency (percentage of output lumens/source lumens) and efficacy (output lumens/wattage) are both driving forces in lighting fixture design—in other words, achieving the perfect balance of brightness, performance, and functionality with the least amount of energy consumption. Attaining 200 lumens per watt (LPW) efficacy in point source LED lighting marks a milestone in the evolution of high-performance luminaires, and ERP is proud to be leading this breakthrough.
We view the achievement of 200 LPW as more than an innovation or pushing the boundaries of what has historically been possible in point source lighting efficacy; it also redefines the potential for lighting design by merging such exceptional efficacy with compact form factors, precision optics, and uncompromised visual quality.
This post will explain the road to 200 LPW—how we got here, what it means for the lighting industry at large, and how it can be leveraged in lighting manufacturing, architecture, design, and in the commercial building space.
Shining a Light on 200 Lumens Per Watt
Up to 200 LPW point source efficacy will allow lighting OEMs and other luminaire manufacturers to create brighter, longer-lasting, highly efficient, and more cost-effective luminaires—without sacrificing size or form factor.
This breakthrough satisfies a need in the lighting industry for higher-performance solutions that also meet evolving energy regulations and expanding sustainability goals. These include:
Industry-Leading Source Efficacy:
Maximum energy savings with up to 200 LPW.
Compact Form Factor:
Slim, lightweight form factor with integrated Bianco LED driver inside.
Versatile Across Uses:
Seamlessly integrates into a variety of lighting applications.
Superior Reliability & Performance:
Delivers consistent light output with excellent thermal management for long-lasting performance.
Customizable & Tunable:
Offers a range of CCT options and dimming capabilities.
Satisfies Sustainability & Compliance Standards:
Helps OEMs meet industry lighting, energy, and safety standards.
Lighting OEMs and other luminaire manufacturers will immediately understand the advancement that 200 lumens per watt is making in the lighting industry. With lower energy consumption per fixture, smaller thermal footprints, optimal lighting with fewer fixtures, and sleek profiles for increased design flexibility, our LED light engine technology shines a light on game-changing possibilities.
Innovating Our Way to 200 Lumens Per Watt
The road to 200 LPW has been one of transformative thinking, expanding upon our mission to redefine the quality of light with innovative, cost-effective solutions. Our existing lighting solutions integrate tunable light engines, precision power, and connected controls—empowering LED lighting fixture manufacturers, designers, architects, and installers to achieve simpler yet enhanced lighting experiences.
We wanted to capitalize on those benefits with an LED lighting solution that offers more power and performance at a smaller size and scale. We ultimately achieved 200 LPW with three key innovations:
1. Advanced LED Chips
We utilize next-gen LED chips with exceptional efficacy and minimal degradation over time. These chips are optimized for:
- Higher lumen output per input watt
- Superior binning for color consistency
- Long life cycles with reduced lumen depreciation
By sourcing premium, high-efficacy chips and integrating them into proprietary driver and module platforms, we’re able to deliver a compact, powerful lighting engine built for longevity and performance.
2. Breakthroughs in Thermal Management
A 200 LPW LED light engine would never be efficient if it wasn’t able to be kept cool. Our team developed optimized heat dissipation systems that:
- Prevent thermal runaway
- Maintain color stability
- Extend the operating life of the lighting fixture components
Through thermal management innovations, we can effectively preserve performance over time—even in tight, enclosed, or high ambient-temperature environments like canopies, retail ceilings, and compact architectural fixtures.
3. Precision Optics & Integration
High-performance optics play a crucial role in maximizing a higher number of lumens without producing a comparable amount of waste. ERP’s innovations in lens shaping, beam control, and light mixing ensure:
- Optimal directionality and uniformity
- Enhanced visual comfort
- Minimal loss between point source and application
By integrating optics directly into the LED light engine, we create smarter, slimmer systems that don’t sacrifice design freedom for efficiency.
Positioning the Lighting Industry for the Road Ahead
LED lighting that can achieve 200 lumens per watt combines performance and efficiency for key spaces including:
Facade & Landscape Lighting:
Add drama and depth to architectural exteriors.
Outdoor Spaces:
Highlight outdoor features, creating a visually appealing and dramatic effect.
Accent & Decorative Lighting:
Enhance ambiance in residential and hospitality settings.
Open Ceilings with Beams:
Highlight the texture and contours of beams or other architectural elements.
Walls and Surfaces:
Illuminate architectural details like textured walls or interesting niches.
Staircases and Corridors:
Guide movement through these often dark. long, or narrow spaces.
Task Lighting in Workspaces.
Enhance focus in areas like kitchen counters, desks, or laboratory settings.
Museum & Gallery Lighting:
Highlight art pieces and exhibits with adjustable focus.
