Previously LEDs were mainly used indoors for localised lighting, such as corridors or areas with low ceilings. Cruz LED offers a viable alternative for those seeking smaller, more elegant alternatives to compact fluorescent in general spaces.

Thorn has developed a high-lumen output LED version of its already successful Cruz downlight – an important step which will completely change people’s thinking about general lighting. The range opens up a whole new range of possibilities for commercial and retail lighting.

Previously LEDs were mainly used indoors for localised lighting, such as corridors or areas with low ceilings. Cruz LED offers a viable alternative for those seeking smaller, more elegant alternatives to compact fluorescent in general spaces.

The new downlight outperforms compact fluorescent (CFL) in terms of energy efficiency and quality of light from a third smaller aperture. Cruz LED is available in two colour versions – 3000K and 4000K – and produces an amazing 2,000 lumens. Operating at 34W and 37W respectively, with a system efficacy of up to 55 lm/watt, they are comparable with a 2 x 26W CFL downlight. The use of a remote yellow phosphor lens within a sophisticated optic gives glare-free light with consistent colour performance of Ra ≥80. 

Cruz LED also incorporates a silent active cooling technology, wherby a rapid oscillating membrane pulses turbulent air across the LED module’s cooling fins, combats any conductive heat issues associated with using high power LEDs indoors.  

Cruz LED is DALI dimmable and delivers 100% instant light with a rated life  of 50,000 hours (70% lumen maintenance), which is five times that of a CFL. A patented ‘sec-lock’ holding arm facilitates a fast tool-free connection, thus saving contractors time and cost.

Essentially Cruz LED has been engineered to match expectations with reality; delivering a number of key features including outstanding lumen output, Dali dimming, the ability to achieve IP54 rating with a specific attachment, patented tool free installation and a unique active cooling system.
