COLOUR IS THE NEXT FRONTIER FOR LED LIGHTING

The way that colour appears within an interior is a key element of good lighting . However , for certain applications the accuracy of colour is vital . Fashion retailers are careful to achieve a ‘ true ’ colour rendering for their merchandising under shop lights and grocery stores are determined to add vibrancy and freshness to their produce on display . Recent product launches indicate that high CRI is the new focus for mainstream LED lighting producers , who aim to deliver highly colour tuned lighting for a wider market .
Compared to halogen and other ‘ legacy ’ light sources , LED has struggled to match other lighting technology in the rendering of certain colours . This shortcoming is particularly marked in LED lamps that have a CRI rating of under 80 . Until recently , interiors that demanded an accurate representation of colours relied upon costly specialist LED luminaires that deliver a CRI of 90 plus . To a large extent , retailers have relied upon these expensive lighting solutions or have retained their loyalty for metal halide and halogen .
Announcing their new ‘ Real Colour ’ GU10 , the UK lighting manufacturer Integral LED has announced a CRI 95 * spotlight at a price intended to make vivid colour accessible to everyone , including
consumers . The breakthrough has been engineered using a single COB ( Chip-on- Board ) chip that has enabled improved colour performance . Effectively , the LED array , once exclusive to high-end luminaires , has been incorporated within a GU10 for the wider market . The Integral LED ‘ Real Colour ’ spotlight delivers a highly tuned correlated colour temperature ( CCT ) and is calibrated to within three steps on a MacAdam ellipse .
“ The Real Colour range offers installers and electrical contractors the opportunity to re-introduce colour accurate LEDs to retailers and other display minded applications at an attractive price ,” commented Samik Halai , Senior Product Manager at Integral LED . “ High CRI is now within the reach of all budgets and will stimulate demand among colour minded consumers too !”
A ‘ crystal effect lens ’ adds a retro sparkle reminiscent of the ( now banned from import into the EU ) halogen spotlight and delivers a diffused light with a 38 ° beam angle . This premium aesthetic characteristic looks good when the lamp is on or off .
‘ LED has struggled to match other lighting technology in the rendering of certain colours .’
Four models are included in the Real Colour GU10 range , two of which are dimmable . Using only 7W of power , the spotlights are an ideal cost saving replacement for 50W halogens . Available in 2700K and 4000K the GU10s deliver 380 and 440 Lumens of light suitable for both cool functional and warm lighting schemes that require the highest standards in colour quality .
The new lamps are available from all good electrical wholesalers and online lighting resellers . The trade pric e is marketleading for a CRI 95 spotlight at £ 9.49 Net and £ 11.82 for the dimmable version .
