Concord, part of the global
lighting manufacturer Havells
Sylvania has been honoured
with the Best Interior Luminaire
crown for the second year in
succession at the Lighting Design
Awards, the heart of the architectural
lighting industry. The Concord
Beacon LED range including the
Beacon Muse impressed the judges in
a Dragon's Den style interview
process which added a new level of
difficulty to even reach the short-list.
The judges noted, "Concord Beacon
LED - Havells Sylvania. Fantastic
optical performance set to become a
professional spotlight classic."
As Concord's Design Office
Manager Tony Lawrence explains,
"LED technology has allowed us to
bring to market a fully versatile
spotlight which could not be
achieved with Halogen. We have used
our experience from previous LED
spotlights to manage the heat whilst
controlling and adjusting the optical
performance to give an even beam
from a narrow spot to a wide flood in
a single product".
Nick Farraway, European Vice
President for Fixtures added "Havells
Sylvania is committed to
investment in technology and
innovation. We are proud and
honoured to achieve this award from
the lighting design and architectural
lighting community as a testament
to the years of knowledge and
experience that are behind this
revolutionary product."
The new Concord Beacon LED
range includes the Beacon Muse LED
which uses cutting-edge technology
and ancient lens principles to create a
fully adjustable spotlight. The new
Muse's adjustable optic system
provides a wide flood 65? beam angle
which can be adjusted to a 10? spot
without the need for additional
lenses or reflectors.
This fully adjustable spotlight
provides all the benefits of LED
technology, no UV/IR radiation, 50,000
hours life at 70 per cent luminous flux,
maintenance-free applications and a
considerable reduction in energy
consumption over traditional light
sources such as halogen.
Muse is available in 3000K & 4000K
CCT with a high colour rendering
index, typical Ra95 incorporating a
discrete on board dimmer providing
control from 100% to 0% and also
collective track dimming options,
essential requirements for museums,
galleries and high end retail
applications. The contemporary all diecast
aluminium design is supplied with
a turned single piece aluminium front
helix with engraved beam angles for
simple and easy adjustment.
The versatility of Muse means that
the designer has a completely flexible
lighting tool, so for exhibitions and
shop lighting applications there is no
need to change spotlights, reflectors
or lenses a simple adjustment to the
luminaire will transform the lit space
saving considerable time and money.
Muse is a true revolution in accent
and display spotlighting.
