Soraa, a manufacturer of GaN-on-GaN LED technology, launched small, low-profile light engines that provide fixture manufacturers access to the company’s full visible spectrum GaN-on-GaN LED technology. From narrow spot to flood, Soraa’s Optical Light Engines produce high CBCP; and the engine’s optical design provides beam definition, smooth beam edges and is customizable with the company’s SNAP System. Designed for seamless fixture integration, the Optical Light Engines are compatible with a variety of industry-standard LED drivers and are an option in enclosed, non-ventilated indoor and outdoor fixtures.
Soraa’s POINT SOURCE OPTICS technology produces high-intensity and uniform beams within a slim form factor. Narrow spot options at 10 degree or narrower are offered with an low profile of only 16 millimeters for 500 lumens, and 25 millimeters for 1,000 lumens. The optics technology also enables the offering of a unique 9-degree ultra-narrow spot version that is as thin as 25 millimeters.
Soraa’s Violet-Emission 3-Phosphor (VP3) LED technology allows for the clear rendering of colors and whiteness. Utilizing every color in the rainbow, especially deep red emission, Soraa’s VP3 VIVID COLOR renders warm tones accurately, and achieves a color-rendering index (CRI) of 95 and deep red (R9) rendering of 95. Unlike blue-based white LEDs without any violet emission, the company’s 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.
Soraa’s Optical Light Engines are available in three sizes 11, 16, 30 (or 1.5-inch, 37-millimeter; 2-inch, 50-millimeter; and 4-inch, 100-millimeter diameters); lumen outputs of 500 or 1000 (in 95CRI); 9-, 10-, 25-, and 36-degree beam angles; 2700K, 3000K, 4000K, and 5000K color temperatures; and with an optional heat sink. Additionally, Soraa’s narrow spot beam light engines work with its magnetic accessory SNAP System. With a simple magnetic accessory attachment, beam shapes can be altered and color temperature can be modified.
