Renaissance Lighting Solid-State LED Downlight
Renaissance Lighting’s solid-state LED downlight incorporates
a circular array of LEDs at the perimeter of an integrating
dome inside each fixture. The lights are available in RGB or white
LEDs with a correlated color temperature of 3000K or 4100K. The
optical design combines light uniformly before exiting the luminaire
in glare-free fashion. A light-sensing feedback system
continually monitors and adjusts each luminaire to factory-calibrated
color standards to ensure fixture-to-fixture consistency
and light quality throughout the 50,000- to 70,000-hour life of
the product. The RGB and white LED downlights are available in
4-inch and 6-inch aperture formats.
