Soraa’s LED MR16 lamps match and exceed halogen MR16s in light output, reaching up to 65 Watt halogen equivalent output and color quality. Also, they deliver white point accuracy within 3 step MacAdam ellipses, a standard measure of color consistency. This consistency makes it possible to match lighting schemes across multiple locations. Soraa lamps can be used in many different light layers to create a highly nuanced lighting experience: for beautiful full visible spectrum light in downlights over food and diners, for accent lighting in wall sconces, for reflected indirect lighting and in decorative fixtures.
Food, wood, fabrics, furniture, art, and human beings all have complex and subtle coloration that only appears truly natural and vibrant under full spectrum light. Full spectrum light is also important because interior environments are usually lit by a combination of daylight and manmade light throughout the day, so manmade light closest to daylight avoids color mismatches and provides better color consistency between day and evening lighting conditions. Soraa’s lamps render the widest range of colors in the objects that we see. They produce full visible spectrum light, with light quality closest to daylight—smooth, well proportioned and balanced, without ultraviolet (UV) or infrared (IR) radiation.
Soraa LED lamps dim smoothly and reliably with most leading dimmer systems and work with a wide variety of the most commonly used fixtures. The company has developed an extensive OEM partner program—Works with Soraa—that tests Soraa lamps with fixtures, dimmers and transformers to ensure full compatibility with leading lighting products.
With energy codes increasingly requiring energy efficient lighting, restaurant lighting choices may seem to be narrowing. Fluorescent and first generation LEDs may provide efficiency, but cannot provide the quality of light required for restaurants. Now, with Soraa’s LED lamps, restaurants can have the best quality of light available, meet code requirements, and dramatically reduce energy costs as well as maintenance costs.
