U – LED modules, converters and systemsAppendixWhite light quality – When only the best is good enoughAs their luminous efficacy and efficiency increase, light-emitting diodes are being used for moreand more applications. They are also becoming more popular, particularly for signage, as backlightingfor lettering and to highlight outlines. The range comprises strip modules and chains with differentlengths and luminous fluxes for side injection and for backlighting logos, lettering and light boxes.Tridonic offers its customers exceptionally high white light consistency in accordance with CIE 1964.White with many qualitiesT chains are ideal substitutes for classic neonlighting in signage applications. With this productrange Tridonic can cover all the various tasks thatrequire colour effects or dynamic colour sequences.Tridonic uses high-quality phosphors for colour conversion,a process in which white light is producedfrom blue LEDs. The use of chemically modifiedbarium orthosilicates with green to reddish-orangelight enables specific colour temperatures to beachieved, colour tolerance to be reduced and colourrendering to be improved.To ensure the reproducibility of colour conversionTridonic pays special attention to the coating process.The result is excellent white light homogeneity withvery narrow tolerances, a colour rendering indexCRI ( R a ) in excess of 80 for all colour temperatures,constant colour location of the emitted white lightand a life of more than 50,000 hours of operation.This means that T chains are available withdefined colour temperatures of 3,000 K ( warm white ),4,200 K ( neutral white ) and 6,500 K ( daylight white )to provide light of impressive uniformity.Neutral white – 4,200 KWarm white – 3,000 KDaylight white – 6,500 K132 www.tridonic.com T Catalogue 2010
