Base LED

Taking full advantage of Cree’s pioneering colour-mixing technology and high- performance LEDs, Thorn has introduced an LED downlight for commercial and residential markets which, to quote Chuck Swoboda, Cree chairman and CEO ‘…is the first product to deliver on the promise and capability of LEDs with better efficiency and lifetimes than the typical halogen and compact fluorescent products being used today…’

At 12W and with an output of 650 lumens, it matches the output of a compact fluorescent downlight, yet uses 50% less energy, lasts over four times longer (designed for 50,000 hours) and contains no mercury. Available in 2700K and 3500K options, it has an excellent CRI (Ra) of 94 and is dimmable to 20%.

Base LED finally puts paid to the perception that environmentally responsible products come at the expense of performance, efficiency and comfort.
