Xicato - Making sense with LEDs

About Xicato

About our technology

The Xicato Spot Module: light quality without compromise.

The Xicato Spot Module (XSM) is the first genuine LED equivalent for halogen with no compromises: not aesthetic or light technical.
Two ranges are available, a standard range with a higher efficacy and an Artist Series range with higher colour rendering properties which are, uniquely in the world of LEDs, on a par with halogen.

Aesthetic

• Compact: similar size to MR 16 lamps
• Allows enhanced creativity in luminaire design

Light technical

• Similar intensities possible compared with 20-50W low voltage halogen lamp range
• Choice of Colour temperatures (2700, 3000 and 4000K)
• Colour Rendering Index of 80+ or 95+ (Artist Series)
• Consistent colour (Colour point consistency <2 SDCM part to part)
• Uniform beam (intensity and Colour Temperature - no yellow ring or shadows)

The Artist Series

• CRI of Ra over 95 is obtained, compared to one of 80 + with the standard range
• Typically the Color Rendering Index is only evaluated for the first 8 pastel colored reference samples of the CRI system. The Artist Series has also been optimized to get excellent results for the more saturated and skin color samples of the CRI reference set. For the deep red R9 reference sample, a value of R9 over 90 has been achieved for the 2700K and 3000K Artist Series, and the same R9 is over 85 for the 4000K Artist Series.
• These numbers not only outperform other LED solutions but also traditional lamp types like compact fluorescent and compact metal halide.

Advantages

• Cost of ownership (life and efficacy advantages):
- 8-23W XSM wattage compares with 20-50W low wattage halogen lamp wattage
- 50khr XSM life (to 95% lumen maintenance, an expectation based on an extrapolation of 3000 hour HTOL test results) compares with 2-4khrs low wattage halogen lamp life
• Extremely low heat (IR) and UV in beam
• No mercury or lead
• IP66 (ideal for outdoor usage)
• Ruggedness: no filaments, arc tubes, wire bonds or exposed phosphors

Applications

Luminaire possibilities for retail, domestic, heritage, hospitality, commercial and outdoor applications:

• Recessed, surface and track-mounted spots
• Recessed or surface mounted downlighters (including emergency versions)
• Table or desk lamps
• Pendants
• Display / cabinet lighting
• Wallwashers
• Buried uplighters
• Period lanterns

Notes:
1.Light technical data independently verified by the University College London and IESNA LM-79 qualified test labs.
2. All technical data shown in the above table is taken at a recommended operating test point (Tc) temperature of 70°C.
3. Higher lumen output achievable with lower test point (Tc) temperature.
4. “Ra” is defined as the average of color indices R1-R8.
5. 100% of products produced by Xicato lie within color consistency specification shown in the table above. Although such a tight control throughout life is expected, reliability tests are underway to quantify this.
6. Minor shifts in CCT and Duv occur with changes to drive current and/or temperature. Additional data available upon request.
7. Power consumption is stated as a small typical range (not maximum range) that is centered around the typical value. A range is specified rather than an typical value due to variations in LED die quantity, forward voltage, and performance. Maximum and minimum values can be calculated using the voltage range.
8. Absolute range of lumen output is ±10% of typical value.
9. XSM life is 50K hours based on standard L70/B50 criteria. Extrapolation of 3,000 hour WHTOL test results predicts a 85% lumen maintenance at 50K hours in a typical application environment. Tests are continuing and results will be updated regularly on our website.
10. The module is designed for usage with a class 1 or class 2 constant current power supply with a output current up to 700mA. Current may vary ±10% without affecting lifetime performance (absolute maximum 770mA).
