To help electrical contractors meet the increasing demands for LED display and accent lighting, Thorn has brought out D-CO LED. Competitively priced, the luminaire range combines quality with simplicity of installation and operation, plus all the benefits of eco-friendly LED technology.

There are six “families” of fittings, spearheaded by fixed and multi-directional recessed downlights. With a choice of three or six high brightness Osram 1.2W LEDs – combined with 15°, 24° or 35° beam spreads – the downlights, which have an aluminium heat sink body, are going places! Just great as a replacement for 20-35W MR16 halogen fittings, retail lighting or where maintenance is an issue.

In similar vein is a tiny (40mm diameter) version with one LED, which will prove a boon for guidance or effect lighting.

Emphasising the 1.2W LED’s small size and high light output efficiency, Thorn has put it to another exciting use – as a spotlight! The LED head is mounted on a sleek stem projecting from a 60mm diameter surface plate. It’s a great light for working or selling by. Read or write by it, or use it to provide intimate pools of light in a glazed display cabinet!

D-CO LED downlights and spotlights are also sold in a clever kit form, ready-wired for supply; all that’s needed is a quick snap-to of the cables from the driver and – voila: a string of light!

Equally exciting is a 116 mm square recessed wall light. Combining a 1.6W LED with an asymmetric reflector enables a wash of light to be achieved. Ideal for corridors and stairways, as well as entrances.

Within each family there is a choice of warm or cool white light, so that the colour appearance can be matched to the needs of the application. Finish is Titan grey or natural anodised aluminium for the wall light.

D-CO LED offers users consistent colour temperature through restricted binning, 80% less electricity than incandescent lamps and lasts up to 50,000 hours.

The new range is aimed at contractors who deal with shops and offices. It looks equally good in bars, hotels and restaurants, as well as the domestic market and a wide variety of other situations where a neat, versatile and easy-to-operate lighting system is essential.
