[[File:Luminus_SST-90.jpg|thumb|Luminus SST-90 LED]]Luminus is a LED manufacturer based in Billerica, Massachusetts. They produce the SST-50 and SST-90 LED's (SSR-50 and SSR-90 are just the LED mounted to a star). These LED's compete with the [[Seoul Semiconductor|SSC]] P7 and [[Cree]] MC-E, but the LED is a single emitter instead of 4 separate ones working together. The size of the emitter is similar so there is a large hotspot, but because the entire emitter lights up, SST-50 lights are less prone to a donut hole of darkness at the center of the beam.

==SBT-90==
 
The SBT-90 uses the same die as the SST-90, but it is behind a flat window instead of a dome. While the SBT-90 has less output, flashlights that use the SBT-90 will have greater throw than an equivalent with an SST-90. This LED was first used the [[Olight]] SR95 and [[EagleTac]] MX25L2.

==SST-50==


The SST-50 is 2.2mm x 2.2mm (5 mm&sup2;) drawing up to 5 amps while outputting up to 1250 emitter lumens. This is a big current draw for a flashlight and batteries and produces a large amount of heat, therefore the LED's are driven lower than maximum. Flashlights using this LED are capable of 500 lumens of output on one 18650 li-ion cell and up to 900 lumens using 2 18650's.

The SST-50 is used in the ThruNite Catapult, LumaPower D-Mini VX Ultra, Olight M21 Warrior Luminus, and the Tiablo AS50.

The SST-90 is 3mm x 3mm (9mm&sup2;) drawing up to 9 amps while outputting up to 2250 emitter lumens. Bins K, L, M, N, and P are subdivided into 50-lumen increments (e.g. M1, M2, and M3, where M1 would 700-750, M2 would 750-800, etc.) [http://www.luminus.com/products/SST-90.html web page] [http://www.luminus.com/products/white_56_2186693088.pdf datasheet], [http://www.luminus.com/products/white_46_2170144921.pdf binning].
