Nuventix, Inc. introduced its high bay product the LED Cooler R150-170, in answer to the ever evolving cooling needs of the LED industry. Built with the company's patented SynJet technology, the new high bay LED cooler is 33% smaller and 60% lighter than passive cooling equivalents used in industrial high bay fixtures, and is easy to fit into pendant form factor designs. The modular solution can be used independently as a stand-alone heatsink or with up to three SynJets, enabling flexibility in design and cooling and allowing for an entire line of low bay and high bay luminaires with the same form factor. Due to its heat pipes and the SynJet air transfer, the R150-170 has exceptional heat spreading and can cool up to 20,000 lumens in a round shape design. The efficiency of this design allows for the use of low cost compact LED arrays running at high currents without sacrificing color quality, brightness, or lifetime. The R150-170 high bay solution reduces the total cost of ownership of the LED system by maintaining thermal performance over the life of the system, saving on maintenance costs for end-users. High bay LED luminaires require significantly less in maintenance costs than fluorescents or 400-watt metal halide systems assuming the LEDs meet their rated performance with effective thermal management. Customers will also realize more than 30% energy cost reduction from fluorescents and more than 40% from 400-watt metal halides. LED lighting manufactures will also realize substantial cost savings with the R150-170 SynJet solution. Because of the R150-170 cooler's advanced thermal spreading and heat transfer capabilities, lighting manufacturers will be able to use smaller, less-expensive LED arrays and still achieve high color quality and lumen output.

Nuventix, Inc. announced four new additions to the company's line of SynJet coolers for LED lights: the Wall Wash Cooler 77W, Outdoor Cooler 70W and 77W and Spotlight Cooler 57W. Each of these devices build upon the inherent strengths of Nuventix SynJet technology, allowing for brighter, reliable, longer-lasting LED lights and accelerating the growth and adoption of LED lighting throughout the world. Wall Wash Cooler 77W The Nuventix Wall Wash Cooler 77W is the first ever SynJet with a rectangular form factor, designed specifically for wall wash luminaires, tracklights, and floodlights. The Wall Wash Cooler 77W provides up to 77 watts of cooling while enabling up to 6000 lumens of light in a compact form factor. This SynJet cooler will be available for purchase in May 2012. Outdoor Cooler 70W and 77W Designed to meet the demanding requirements of outdoor lighting, the Outdoor Cooler 70W and 77W SynJet solutions enable outdoor LED lighting up to 8,000 and 6,000 lumens, respectively. These solutions are modular and can be combined to achieve lumen outputs over 15,000 lumens. From extreme temperatures, to rain and humidity, to dust and salt fog, Nuventix' outdoor coolers have been carefully designed to withstand most anything nature can throw at them. The Outdoor Cooler 70W and 77W will be available for purchase in May 2012. Spotlight Cooler 57W The Spotlight Cooler 57W enables up to 3000 lumens for tracklights, downlights and recessed adjustable downlights. With a SynJet that sits on top of the LED heatsink, not in it, the unique design makes this the quietest SynJet thermal management solution ever developed. It is the ideal thermal management solution for LED lights in homes, museums, retail stores, offices and anywhere sound is a factor. The Spotlight Cooler 57W will be available for purchase in July 2012.

Nuventix, Inc. announced that GE has provided capital alongside other investors and recently entered into a license agreement to access Nuventix's extensive patent portfolio. GE unit GE Energy Financial Services and The Bergquist Company joined existing investors Braemar Energy Ventures, CenterPoint Ventures, InterWest Partners and Rho Ventures to complete a $10 million investment round to fund Nuventix's global expansion and technology advancements. GE's investment was made as part of its ecomagination Challenge, created to accelerate the deployment of innovative technologies through open collaboration and financial support. The license agreement between GE Lighting and Nuventix complements GE's effort to develop reliable, longer-lasting LED products and systems. GE Lighting's scientists and product developers see the Nuventix SynJet technology as an enabler of broader and faster LED module adoption.
