Soraa Inc of Fremont, CA, USA, which develops solid-state lighting technology fabricated on 'GaN on GaN' (gallium nitride on gallium nitride) substrates, has added GU24 base PAR20, PAR30 (short and long neck) and PAR38 LED lamps to its LED product portfolio. Suitable for both commercial and residential California applications, Soraa's lamps provide a replacement for halogen lamps.
"California lighting designers and customers have been asking for high-quality large GU24 lamps," according to George Stringer, senior VP of global sales & marketing. "With low power consumption, unique narrow spot beams enabled by our Point Source Optics and our Violet-Emission 3-Phosphor technology; these lamps completely outshine the competition," he claims.
Soraa's Point Source Optics technology is said to produce high-intensity and uniform beams, enabling the firm to offer 8, 9 and 10° narrow-spot PAR versions with double the peak intensity of other LED makers, it is claimed.
Soraa's Violet-Emission 3-Phosphor (VP3) LED technology allows the rendering of colors and whiteness. Utilizing every color in the rainbow, especially deep red emission, VP3 Vivid Color renders warm tones accurately, and achieves a color-rendering index (CRI) of 95 and deep red (R9) rendering of 95. Also, unlike blue-based white LEDs without any violet emission, the VP3 Natural White is achieved by engineering the violet emission to properly excite fluorescing brightening agents including natural objects like human eyes and teeth; as well as manufactured white materials such as clothing, paper and cosmetics.
Designed for seamless fixture integration, Soraa's GU24 PAR lamps are compatible with a wide variety of dimmers and are suitable for use in enclosed, non-ventilated indoor and outdoor fixtures. They are available in 8, 9, 10, 25, 36, 50 and 60° beam angles as well as 2700K, 3000K, 4000K and 5000K color temperatures. Additionally, the 8, 9, and 10° lamps work the firm's its magnetic accessory SNAP System. With a simple magnetic accessory attachment, beam shapes can be altered and color temperature can be modified, increasing design and display possibilities.
