Date Announced: 05 Dec 2011 Xicato introduces a 3500K Correlated Color Temperature (CCT) option to its range of LED modules. 3500K is the predominant color temperature for ambient lighting in North America and is increasingly popular in other markets. The new color will be offered in all Xicato flux packages starting at 1000 lm and above and allows lighting designers an option to match 3500K accent and ambient layers. Other accent source options such as halogen and metal halide are not generally available in 3500K CCT and present challenging problems such as short life and poor efficacy (halogen), or color shift and inability to control (metal halide). Now designers have an optimum overall specification of color quality, high efficiency, long life, stable color point and seamless controls integration. The 1000-lm Artist Series Xicato Spot Module at 3500K represents the first accent light source with halogen-like color rendering properties (CRI, 95+ with R9, 96 typical). It can be used by designers to match fluorescent sources.
