Thanks to Christopher Redfern’s design, the successful Panos downlight range has been transferred into the modern era. The luminaire’s luminous flux in excess of 1,800 lumens is achieved with a power input of 27 W; for 2,400 lumens, the Panos Infinity downlight requires 36 W.
This makes the LED downlight more than 70% more efficient than downlights fitted with conventional compact fluorescent lamps.
High lighting quality with stable colour temperature sets standards for high-quality lighting solutions. Built-in Cree True White technology allows to achieve a stable colour temperature of 3000 K or 4000 K over the service life of 50,000 hours, as well as an excellent colour rendition of > Ra 90. To achieve the required colour temperature, red LEDs are added to highly efficient desaturated yellow LEDs. Using this innovative technology, the light is precisely calibrated to the required colour temperature of 3000 or 4000 K and will remain stable across the light source’s entire service life.
With his design, Christopher Redfern demonstrates the opportunities provided by LED technology to create a new design language. The harmonious transition between the LED lighting chamber and the reflector makes the light source invisible. Fitted with a considerably reduced cover ring, the downlight blends harmoniously into the interior. The new frameless downlight model is an architectural highlight. Comments the designer on his conceptual idea: “With this downlight I wanted to create light that closely approaches natural daylight. Light with pleasant colour temperatures and the option to adjust them to people’s preferences.”
The efficiency of the luminaire system, which has no equal on the market, is achieved through a unique fusion of special technologies, top-quality materials and technical lighting know-how, resulting in the Infinity Optical System (IOS). To ensure optimum LED performance and system service life, Zumtobel has placed special emphasis on efficient cooling. Zumtobel succeeded in developing a passive cooling system for the LED module (patent pending) which considerably improves the downlight’s performance characteristics. Panos Infinity is DALI-dimmable as standard, allowing for additional attractive potential savings.
The complete Panos Infinity LED downlight range will be available from May 2010. There will be a choice between two different diameters (150 and 200 mm), with two mounting depths of 100 mm and 140 mm for the LOW and HIGH versions, respectively. Combined with four different reflector versions and the frameless option, perfect lighting solutions for all areas of application can be implemented.
The modular design of the Panos Infinity downlight emphasises the future-oriented approach even further. Thus, the LED lighting chamber and the passive cooling system are combined into a unit that can be separated from the control gear and reflector without any tools. Replacing the LED module is therefore very straightforward. A five-year guarantee is supplied with the Panos Infinity downlight range comprising control gear and LED. Furthermore, the entire product range complies with the criteria of the sophisticated eco+ product label developed by Zumtobel to identify particularly energy-efficient products.
