LED downlights

Lighting, LED, Thorn Lighting

Base LED junior is a smaller version of Thorn Lighting’s replacement downlights for halogen and CFL fittings. The new downlight comes in two versions — one for high performance (650 lm/11.5 W) and one with a deeper recessed lit surface for added comfort (600 lm/11.5 W). Both use Cree’s True White technology to deliver high-quality light (3000 K) with Ra 90 stable colour rendition.

They can replace, for example, 50 W MR16 halogen lamps and have a 50 000 h life. There is a comprehensive choice of trailing-edge dimmers.
