The right light for any product, be it art, fashion or food

The dimmable LED modules for spotlights and downlights are impressive not only for their greater efficiency of up to 30% and better colour rendering but also for their improved robust 50 mm package which is ZHAGA compliant.

A more stable connection between the chip and the package is therefore achieved and the thermal conductivity is improved. New versions with a 17 mm light-emitting surface (LES 17) close the gap between 15 mm (LES 15) and 19 mm (LES 19) modules so there is a choice of different emission angles for spotlights.

Matt Caygill, UK Business Development Manager at Tridonic explained more; “Thanks to the greater energy efficiency of the modules a higher luminous flux can be achieved relative to the power consumption".

"Less power is needed to produce the same luminous flux as the predecessor modules. The LED modules are also compatible with all the drivers in the standard portfolio, resulting in numerous possible combinations tailored precisely to the specific applications.”

The chip upgrade has also led to improvements in the colour rendering of the modules and therefore the quality of the light without sacrificing energy efficiency. In particular, the Ri09 colour rendering factor has been improved.

The FASHION LED module now has a colour rendering index of 95, and ART an even higher one at 98. Even saturated red tones can now be presented true to life. All the modules combine high quality of light with high colour consistency corresponding to MacAdam 3, or MacAdam 2 in the case of the special ART colour.

LED modules in the FOOD series with their different spectrums (Gold, Gold+, Meat, Fresh Meat, and Fish) are tailored to different categories of food. The colours appear intense; rich brown tones give bakery items a crustier look, warm shades of red give meat and sausages a fresh, succulent appearance and cold light tones emphasise the freshness of fish and seafood.

ART LED modules offer unprecedented quality of light and provide perfect lighting for even the most demanding exhibits in museums, art galleries and exhibitions. The full-spectrum technology used here provides the basis for excellent colour rendering with an average value of all tones achieving a colour rendering index of 98.

FASHION LED modules bring the colours on fashion garments to life. Every fashion show is a highlight. Everything from radiant white tones and brilliant colours with high colour saturation to subtle pastel shades are presented true to life. LED modules with a colour rendering index (CRI) of 95 will not bleach the colours out of exhibits, even after lengthy exposure.

The trendy TINGE colour has been added to the FASHION palette. It lies just below the Planckian curve on the CIE chromaticity chart. Its slightly warmer colour location makes fabrics and accessories appear more vibrant, especially multi-coloured items.
