Modular International, Inc. has launched a new addition to its LED module lineup, SOL. The SOL series of LED modules delivers a light spectrum that is the closest match to natural sunlight available in the lighting industry and is available in a wide range of wattage and delivered lumen packages in 50mm, 70mm and 90mm diameters.
SOL LED modules were developed to be the closest match to natural sunlight within the visible spectrum. With a CRI (Ra) rating of >97 and TM-30 Rf 96.8 & Rg 100.7 at 2700K performance within a 425nm-690nm range (collective 380nm-780nm range), SOL modules deliver consistent performance closely mirroring the blackbody curve without the spectral peaks and valleys of traditional 98, 90, and 80 CRI light engines.
For over 200,000 years, the functionality of the human body has evolved to be dependent on natural sunlight following a dawn to dusk light cycle. Lighting experts, specifiers, and advocates for Human-centric lighting (HCL) systems working across multiple disciplines and building sectors have shown preference to natural light over artificial light when designing interior spaces. Studies have shown that access to 13-15 minutes of exposure to natural daylight is enough to trigger the release of endorphins within the human brain allowing individuals to experience joy, happiness, and warmth.
Lighting specifiers working in both the residential and commercial building sectors strive to avoid exposing occupants to only artificial/ non‐natural lighting conditions and are more in favor of designs with a mixture of high levels of natural daylight and lighting solutions that replicate natural lighting conditions. SOL LED modules have been engineered to closely match the spectral power distribution (SPD) of natural sunlight at 2700K, 3000K, 3500K, and 4000K Correlated Color Temperatures (CCT).
The 50mm SOL module offers a 16, 30, 40, and 55 degree beam angle, 10-16 watts, 746-1,314 delivered lumens, 69-83 lm/w, CRI (Ra) rating of >97 and TM-30 Rf 96.8 & Rg 100.7 at 2700K. SOL LED modules can be used across all standard Modular International product lines and configurations, fixture aperture opening: two inches and larger.
The 70mm SOL module offers a 20, 30, 40, 55, and 90 degree beam angle, 16-24 watts, 1,337-2,069 delivered lumens, 80-90 lm/w, CRI (Ra) rating of >97 and TM-30 Rf 96.8 & Rg 100.4 at 2700K. SOL LED modules can be used across all standard Modular International product lines and configurations, fixture apertures: four inches and larger.
The 90mm SOL module offers a 28, 40, 55, and 90 degree beam angle, 25-35 watts, 2,255-3,221 delivered lumens, 86-94 lm/w, CRI (Ra) rating of >97 and TM-30 Rf 96 & Rg 100.7 at 2700K. SOL LED modules can be used across all standard Modular International product lines and configurations, fixture apertures: five inches and larger.
Modular International offers six main product families within its portfolio of Modular Multiples® fixtures allowing SOL modules to integrate into 39,000+ possible product combinations ranging from adjustable & fixed new construction and retrofit downlights, recessed or surface mounted multiples, cylinders, and custom engineered lighting solutions.
