Every lighting application calls for
different priorities. Sometimes it’s about
the total light output, measured in
lumens (lm). Sometimes it’s about colour
rendering, measured in CRI. Sometimes
it’s about energy efficiency, measured in
lumens per watt.
But for a lot of applications, it’s all
about luminous intensity, or “punch”:
the intensity of the light at the centre
of the beam, measured in candelas. A
powerful punch is crucial for directional
lighting applications where you require
high brightness or contrast on an object,
or need to light it from a long distance.
Spotlights, industrial luminaires and
architectural luminaires all need to pack
a serious punch.
At just 5.6mm thick Plessey’s ORION™
LED small footprint modules pack
a punch with excellent thermal
performance, directional light emission of
GaN-on-Silicon LEDS and Beam Forming
technology at individual chip level. All
this allows the ground breaking Stellar TM
miniature optics to give exceptional
centre-beam candela power without the
need for bulky optics and large heatsinks.
For example, the 3,000-lumen ORION™
module boasts a centre-beam intensity
of 7,200 candelas. That’s streets ahead
of the best-in-class chip-on-board (COB)
LED modules, which only manage 5,900
candelas out of a 5,500 lumen package.
Combined with the precise optical
control, the ORION™ modules produce
beautifully even beams, with no multiple
shadows or colour inconsistency.
ORION™ can be mounted behind a bezel
or plate of any colour to conceal the unit
without any light losses.
It’s more cost-effective too with a lower
centre-beam candela per dollar cost and
lower costs on additional components.
For product designers, ORION™ is a
dream come true: a slimmer, more
powerful, more precise and more
affordable replacement for COB LEDs in
applications that require a big candela
punch.
Spotlights for retail applications can
create drama and contrast, while
consuming less energy. They can also
be positioned at a greater distance
from the items they need to illuminate.
Outdoor architectural luminaires can
be made lighter and more discreet, with
more flexibility when it comes to where
they are mounted, without suffering
from light losses. Industrial luminaires
can provide brighter light from greater
heights. Applications such as in boats and
kitchens where space is often limited,
are also a big opportunity for ORION™.
The days of big, bulky fittings are over –
ORION™ rewrites the rules of directional
lighting products, proving you don’t have
to be big to pack a punch.
