Illuminating Excellence: A Deep Dive into Xicato Quality Lighting

In the world of high-performance lighting, Xicato stands out as a beacon of excellence—trusted by lighting designers, architects, and facility managers who demand unmatched quality, accuracy, and control.

Industry-Leading Color Consistency & Fidelity

  • Xicato lights deliver extremely tight color consistency—within 1×2 MacAdam ellipses (SDCM)—meaning virtually indistinguishable color across a space, even when using different fixtures.
  • Their cold remote phosphor technology helps maintain stable color performance over time, avoiding the common “fruit sherbet” effect seen in lesser products.
  • The Xicato Artist and Vibrant series boast superior color rendering (CRI up to 95+, R9 high), with TM‑30 fidelity metrics that elevate the realism and vibrancy of colors.

Such fidelity is vital in applications like galleries, hospitality, retail, and healthcare—anywhere accurate and consistent visual representation is critical.

Smart, Integrated Lighting Control Systems

  • Xicato’s Intelligent Modules (XIM) integrate a driver, sensors, and Bluetooth mesh communication—all-in-one—delivering smooth, flicker-free dimming and deep control in a compact form.
  • Their Bluetooth® lighting control systems, including wall controllers, occupancy sensors, gateways, and switches, offer versatile, wireless room and scene control—eliminating complex wiring and reducing setup time and costs.
  • Xicato’s Control Software further streamlines commissioning, customization, and management—making large or dynamic installations far more manageable.

Long-Term Performance & Sustainability

  • Xicato offers industry-leading warranties:

    • 10‑year color and lumen maintenance for modules like XIM and XTM, ensuring long-lasting quality and reliability XicatoalphaLED.
    • 10‑year warranty on their flexible linear products (XFL)—again emphasizing longevity and consistency across different lighting forms.
  • High efficacy (e.g., up to 137 lm/W in some XTM modules) and robust engineering mean less energy consumption, reduced maintenance, and lower lifecycle costs.

Flexibility Across Lighting Formats

  • From compact chip-on-board (XOB) arrays to thin modules (XTM) and flexible linear systems (XFL), Xicato has solutions for downlights, spots, strips, and custom geometries—all with matching light quality.
  • These systems support high-quality performance—including high CRI, tight color control, and integrated control features—across the full product range.

Why Designers Love Xicato—In Their Own Words

While we don’t have direct design testimonials here, many lighting professionals choose Xicato because “they design to last” and appreciate the stability and precision of Xicato’s light sources, aligning perfectly with a “circular design” philosophy focused on durability and performance.
