TitanTurbo TruColor White LED
Lamina Lighting's new line of high Lumen output white LED products includes the TitanTurbo TruColor White LED. The luminaire delivers light output of up to 2000 Lumens plus a unique TruColor feature that maintains the natural colours of an illuminated object, and the ability to focus light into a tight 60 degree cone angle.
These features, in combination with Lamina's thermal performance and compact footprint, make these light engines ideal for designers striving for high lumen output, accurate colour rendering, and focused light concentration.
"In the LED space, nobody is doing what Lamina does," said Joe Mazzochette, Vice President of Engineering for Lamina. "The TitanTurbo TruColor, as well as our other high lumen output white LEDs, are really in a class of their own when it comes to delivering the features today's lighting designers are looking for in performance and efficiency, both in terms of Lumen output, colour accuracy, and energy considerations, all in a very compact footprint - right out of the box."
The Lamina TitanTurbo TruColor white LED packs new features into the same size unit as Lamina's standard Titan LED; delivering 55 Lumens per Watt at 1300 Lumens of output, and can also reach the 2000 Lumen output level using 45 Lumens per Watt - all in the same compact one-inch-square footprint as the original Lamina TitanTurbo. And all secondary optics usable with the TitanTurbo can also be used with the TitanTurbo TruColor White LED.
The TruColor feature drives the LED's performance in terms of colour rendering, achieving a score of up to 90 on the Colour Rendering Index (CRI), which measures the ability of a light source to accurately reproduce the colours of various objects being lit by the source. The higher the CRI, the less likely the light source is to distort colours, as in the case of fluorescent lights which render a blue, or cool, tint. TruColor makes the LED perfect for commercial applications where colour accuracy of illuminated objects is important; retail spaces where food or fabric is sold, for example.
The Lamina TitanTurbo TruColor White LED's comparatively low colour temperature of approximately 3000K means it produces light that is visually similar to that produced by conventional incandescent light sources. That makes this LED perfect for residential applications, as well.
Light output of the TitanTurbo TruColor White is pre-focused to a cone angle of 60 degrees, eliminating the need for the user to build secondary optics to focus the light, as might be the case with competitive units.
"It makes so much sense for people to be using these LEDs," said Mazzochette. "They're saving roughly 60 percent of the energy they would be using with an incandescent light source, and with the 60 degree cone angle, they're only putting light where it's needed, reducing energy consumption in that aspect, as well."
Lamina's line of high output white LEDs also includes the Daylight White version of the standard TitanTurbo, which delivers approximately 52 Lumens per Watt at 1443 Lumens, the Warm White version of Lamina's SML, which delivers 32 Lumens per Watt at 245 Lumens, and the Atlas Series of LED light engines, which deliver up to 51 Lumens per Watt at 250 Lumens.
