Our light engines are precisely designed for optimal operation of LED assemblies.
Our standard LED's CCT (correlated color temperature) range is 2700K to 4000K. Other CCT values are available upon request.
We log LED bin codes for each project we supply to ensure color consistency and keep a record of those projects for future reference.
CRI offered is 80+, and 90+
Note: on 90+ CRI use .85 multiplier
Tunable white, warm dim and other special LED colors available.
Custom Lumens Available
We design our own printed circuit boards to ensure high luminescence efficiency, low thermal resistance and long-term reliable operation.
Light engines are easily replaced.
We use only recognized brand LED's with 3 SDCM (standard deviation color matching) with high color consistency. 2 SDCM available upon request.
If you require a special LED manufacturer, please contact us. LED chip manufacturers used by Picasso are primarily (but not limited to) Nichia, Cree and Samsung.
LRP - “LED Reel Program” – LED’s for printed circuit boards come on reels’ like old 8mm projectors and they're sold in lots just like fabric. At Picasso Lighting, we have a program where we make sure all of your reels come from the same lot for each project. This ensures excellent color consistency in large open spaces.
LED life is rated at 50,000 hours
Electrical / Driver
Drivers - Our drivers are specifically selected based on fixture application to ensure ultimate reliability and long life. We use only UL recognized brands of LED drivers. Our LED drivers feature HPF (high power factor), universal voltage 110 - 277 VAC and include 0-10V dimming. Please note, 277v has longer distances from power feed to power feed then 120v.
If required, we can supply premium drivers such as Lutron, Eldoled and others upon request. Advanced control systems compliant drivers such as POE,DALI, DMX, etc. are also available, please consult factory.
Rated life (90% survivorship) of 50,000 hours at 50º C max. ambient (and 70º C max. case) temperature. At maximum driver load: Efficiency >84%, PF>0.9, THD<20%.
Our LED drivers feature HPF (high power factor), universal voltage 110 - 277 VAC and include 0-10V dimming.
Emergency drivers are factory installed as an option, long life, high temperature, recyclable Ni-Cad battery pack with test switch and charge indicator. EMR is minimum of 90 minutes operation to meet code.
POE - We are working with Molex/Igor POE systems. We can add a POE driver into our fixtures or remote them. Based on the fixture you select, we will notify you (or you can contact the factory) to see if we can install the P-driver or the P-driver needs to be remote. Just add POE1 in the spec and we will advise. Please keep in mind you need to specify a complete POE control system before specifying POE1.
