Development kit enhances downlighting designs

The Anna Development Kit is available with a choice of three to seven LEDs of differing colour temperature and a choice of narrow, medium and wide beam lenses. In addition to this, the kit includes the necessary metalwork holder, a pcb, a heatsink and a power supply, enabling engineers and designers to explore the effects and possibilities of 21 LED lighting options.

“We are seeing LED technology replacing halogen lamps in many downlighting applications,” said Adrian Amor, Director, Intelligent LED Solutions. “The prime reason has been the more efficient nature of LED lamp technology; drawing less current and running cooler. However, another major benefit of LED technology is that lamps can now be designed to provide not only a range of colour temperatures, but also a range of beam angles. Designers and engineers are learning to exploit this aspect of modern LED technology, to further refine their downlighting installations and to create new effects.”
