Practical Considerations for Your Project

Navigating the practical considerations for your project is crucial for achieving a tailored lighting solution that seamlessly aligns with your specific needs. In living rooms, opt for adjustable downlights, providing flexibility for diverse activities, while plaster-in downlights ensure a seamless integration that complements the overall design. In kitchens, minimal trim downlights offer a clean and contemporary aesthetic, and adjustable options direct light precisely for meal preparations.

For bathrooms, choose plaster-in downlights to create a spa-like atmosphere, and minimal trim designs for a modern, cohesive appearance. In bedrooms, embrace the elegance of adjustable downlights for dynamic lighting and consider minimal trim options for a subtle yet sophisticated ambiance. When it comes to outdoor spaces, explore weather-resistant plaster-in downlights for longevity, and leverage the efficiency of the Levello system's installation process, proving beneficial for both indoor and outdoor lighting projects.

SORAA VIVID CO LOUR™

Experience the natural rendering of all colours
with SORAA VIVID COLOUR technology

Maximizing fidelity (Rf) requires a smooth spectrum similar to natural light. SORAA harnesses cutting-edge colour science as the only LED that spans the visible spectrum from violet through deep red, along with the TM-30 colour rendition method and CRI, to reveal a natural saturation and precise rendering of colours.

Red Fidelity

Light sources without high R9 values can distort colours, in particular red tones.

SORAA developed groundbreaking technology to represent red tones as vividly and accurately as possible.

Discover the power of Red

R9 values reach a maximum value of 100, which is similar to natural sunlight. SORAA VIVID™ has an R9 value of +95—among the highest available anywhere—thus saturating the senses.

SORAA NATURAL WHITE ™

With our internally-developed whiteness rendering index, Rw, SORAA scientists also determine the accuracy of light sources to render true-to-life whites. Brighter shades of white are present in everyday products due to the proliferation of optical brighteners, including clothing, cosmetics, plastics and paper. Sunlight and incandescent lamps excite these brighteners, but many conventional LED lamps lack the technology to unleash their full potential.

SORAA’s violet LEDs are engineered to render white materials with optical brighteners in the exact same way as natural incandescence. Replacing ultraviolet light with harmless violet light enables the same whiteness rendering as natural light.

Above, halogen lamp at a CCT of 3000K amplifies whiteness by exciting fluorescing agents with UV radiation. SORAA spectra uses violet light instead to render whiteness without the harmful effects of UV.

Make a Splash: SORAA SNAP ENHANCE™ Accessory

TM-30 teaches us that while light sources can naturally render colors, they can also increase saturation. SORAA harnessed the TM-30 method and guidance from internal research on color preference to develop the SORAA SNAP ENHANCE, which is part of the SORAA Snap System of accessories for lamps and luminaires. The SNAP ENHANCE elevates the saturation of colours while maintaining other essential light quality elements, including the light source's chromaticity and accurate rendering of whites.
