Tridonic is launching LED systems for a wide range of downlight and spotlight solutions. TALEXXengine STARK DLE and STARK SLE are each available in three versions and offer excellent colour rendering and colour stability.

The SLE and DLE modules have a constant colour location across the entire temperature range so the colour temperature does not change as the ambient temperature changes. What’s more, the colour location remains constant throughout the entire life of the module.

In developing the products, LED specialists at Tridonic based their designs on the mechanical, optical and thermal standards of the luminaire industry. All the system components are matched to one another and highly efficient. This means that lighting solutions based on these products are both functional and economical. To simplify integration in luminaires, the system comprises three components, namely the LED module, the multi-functional LED converter and ready-made cabling for connecting the module to the converter, equipped with Plug`n Play connectors for simple installation.

STARK DLE and STARK SLE are available in CLASSIC, SELECT and PREMIUM versions. These provide a wide range of possible solutions: from the non-dimmable basic version in colour temperatures of 3000 K and 4000 K to fully controllable and dimmable white light (Tunable White) in the colour temperature range from 2700 K to 6500 K. The tunable white version enables the colour temperature to be adjusted according to the specific application. It can be either fixed or flexible. This means that the luminaire manufacturer or the end customer can set the light colour to be best possible value for the particular application. And together with the dimming option the light can be adjusted with a high degree of flexibility, for example for seasonal displays in stores.

System efficiency is certainly impressive, with the DLE module achieving up to 65lm/W, and the SLE module up to 72lm/W. Colour rendering is also remarkable. Both modules have a CRI in excess of 90 and up to MacAdam 3 SDCM for extremely small colour tolerances.

Engineers at Tridonic envisage typical applications for TALEXXengine STARK DLE and STARK SLE to include downlights and spotlights for general illumination, for example in retail outlets, offices and hotels.

The range of applications is extended by different interfaces.
Integrated DALI functionality enables colours and colour temperatures to be controlled via a digital control signal. The integrated switchDIM function allows a standard momentary-action switch to be connected directly for dimming purposes. The integrated colourSWITCH function on the Premium version allows a standard momentary-action switch to be connected directly for changing the colour temperature.

Tridonic sees itself as a one-stop supplier of LED systems with operating equipment. The product portfolio includes individual light points, round, rectangular and strip versions. Specially matched operating equipment such as converters, amplifiers and sequencers form complete system solutions. Customers enjoy the security of a five-year guarantee.
