Soraa Inc of Fremont, CA, USA, which develops solid-state lighting technology built on 'GaN on GaN' (gallium nitride on gallium nitride) substrates, has launched what it says is the first full-visible-spectrum 4° AR111 LED lamp. Designed to precisely light small objects and spaces, the ANSI-size-standard 6W AR111 4D LED lamp has what is claimed to be outstanding peak intensity; flawless beam definition and edges; exceptional color (a CRI of 95 and R9 of 95) and whiteness rendering; and is customizable with the firm's SNAP System.
"With low power consumption, a unique 4° beam enabled by our GaN-on-GaN LED and Point Source Optics, and VP3 Vivid Color and VP3 Natural White technologies, our new AR111 lamp makes precision lighting perfect," claims George Stringer, senior VP of Americas sales & marketing.
Soraa's Point Source Optics technology enables a peak intensity of 12,600Cd for the Vivid series and 15,900Cd for the Brilliant series.
Soraa says that its Violet-Emission 3-Phosphor (VP3) LED technology enhances 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 AR111 LED lamp is compatible with .a wide variety of industry-standard dimmers and transformers, and is suitble for use in enclosed, non-ventilated indoor and outdoor fixtures. The AR111 4D LED lamp is available in 2700K and 3000K color temperatures.
Additionally, the 4° LED lamp works with Soraa's 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
