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 a line of full-visible-spectrum LED 230V large lamps. From narrow spot to flood, the PAR20, PAR30 short/long-neck, PAR38 and AR111 LED lamps are said to produce high peak intensity, provide flawless beam definition and smooth beam edges, and have exceptional color (CRI of 95 and R9 of 95) and whiteness rendering. The lamps are also customizable with the company's SNAP System.
"Lighting designers and customers have been asking for powerful, high-quality large lamps," says George Stringer, senior VP of global sales & marketing, who adds that Soraa's Point Source Optics and Violet-Emission 3-Phosphor technology enable low power consumption, unique narrow-spot beams.
Soraa says that its Point Source Optics technology produces high-intensity and uniform beams. The optics technology enables the offering of 8°, 9° and 10° narrow-spot PAR versions with double the peak intensity of other LED makers, it is claimed.
Soraa saus that its Violet-Emission 3-Phosphor (VP3) LED technology enables the rendering of colors and whiteness. Utilizing every colour 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 PAR and AR111 lamps are compatible with a wide variety of dimmers and are suitable for use in enclosed, non-ventilated indoor and outdoor fixtures.
The PAR lamps are available in 8°, 9°, 10°, 25°, 36°, 50° and 60° beam angles as well as 2700K, 3000K, 4000K, and 5000K color temperatures. The AR111 lamps are available in 9°, 25°, 36° and 60° beam angles.
Additionally, Soraa's 8°, 9° and 10° lamps work with the firm'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.
