LED MR16 Module Expert Class introduction

Development History

Highest Quality Components.

The right and highest quality components are the base for creating a high-quality product. We work meticulously with the engineers and manufacturers of the individual components that comprise the LED Modules such as the LED chip manufacturers, LED packaging companies, PCB, and Heat sink manufacturers.

Premium COB Customized inside.

In addition to high light efficiency, high color rendering is also a place we are very concerned about. As the one of LED lighting manufacturers to develop and manufacture high CRI, we have also made great efforts. To make the color of the light more near natural light, we not only care about CRI but also make corresponding requirements for the Planck curve and TM30. Every COB of us needs to meet a very high requirement.

So we are very confident that if you compare our product directly with other similar products, we will give you a great feeling.

Aluminum Heat Sink

Lens or reflector？

Perhaps everyone has not paid much attention to this detail. From the perspective of optical design, most the two-color COBs are not suitable for using lenses as optical solutions for multi-color products, because the light of multi-color COBs changes when toning. The lens design is only an optimization of the refraction path for fixed light. Therefore, the DTW of the lens scheme is very prone to the delamination of light spots and different color temperatures.

From the photo comparison, you can find use a lens to make DTW LED spot, there has a light spot in the center whose color is not the same as the outside. When you adjust CCT, that will be a bad experience you find there have 2 kinds CCT in one room, but not the CCT you want.

For this reason, we designed a part that mixes light of different colors, which can easily mix the light in different directions into a light ball, and then re-reflect the light of the light ball through the reflector to achieve the solution. stratification problem.

In addition, the reflector selected by TILLUME,  adopts the aluminum spinning process with a relatively complicated manufacturing process, which can not only reduce the occurrence of glare. At the same time, when used for a long time, the metal material itself will not turn yellow like the plastic material, which will change the light color.

The Strict Quality Control Process

From the inspection of raw materials, we have begun to work carefully. For very important parts, our sampling ratio is much higher than the general level of the market. To ensure color consistency, TILLUME control Macdam within 2 steps, and then we also select and sort LED Chips to ensure consistency between batches.

Even in appearance, we strive for excellence. Every production process has strict standards. We do not pursue productivity improvements to reduce our manufacturing costs. Every step needs to be carefully crafted.

We know that the user's use environment is very different. To ensure the reliability of the product, each lamp needs to go through an aging process of up to 12 hours to ensure that each product shipped is good enough.

Here at TILLUME LEDs, we try to make LED lighting easy to understand for our customers. Read below to understand the terminology used on this website and learn about LEDs and lighting science

General Lighting parameters

What are lumens (lm)?

Lumen is the measurement value of brightness. It said the power of light which can be seen by the eye. In fact, light is an electromagnetic wave, In common the frequency of electromagnetic waves that the average human eye can perceive is 380~750THz, and the wavelength is between 780~380nm. So we can say the total watt of light in 380nm-780nm is equal to the lumen

Because incandescent lighting have the same energy conversion efficiency by different manufacturers, we are all accustomed to using watts to measure the brightness of a light. That is no problem with incandescent lighting. But it is not suitable for LED. Different manufacturers using different technology and quality level, the energy conversion efficiency will be a big difference, low quality may be 60-70lm/w, and the high quality will be 100-120lm/w for the same lamp. So we have to use lumen. Lumen is the most important parameter when choosing the LED light you need. Comparing lumen output between different products will help you to buy the right LED lamp at a reasonable price.

What is AC?

This is Alternating Current. This is the electricity that is used in most spaces. Generally, there have to 2 kinds of voltage in different countries all over the world. One is 220-240V, and the other is 110-130V. The value of voltage we said is a valid value the voltage value is different each time. It looks the same as a sine wave.

From the picture, we can know the highest voltage is 311V, and 220V is near the avg value(you can understand it as simple). In developed countries, the voltage is stable. But in some developing countries, it usually is not stable due to weak basic power facilities. It may be a higher voltage or lower voltage than the rated voltage.

What are DC and safety voltage?

This is Direct Current. The current always moves in the same direction. So when the device asks for direct current, we need to connect wires as positive and negative electrodes. Safe voltage refers to the voltage that will not cause direct death or disability. The industry stipulates that the safe voltage is not higher than 36V, and the continuous contact safe voltage is 24V.

What is a Watt?

One watt is equivalent to one joule per second, and it's a measure of power consumption that your power company uses to calculate how much energy you're consuming. In the LED era, power cannot be used as a parameter to evaluate whether the light bulb is bright enough, because the better the LED, the more lumens can be emitted with less power.

What is luminous efficacy?

It is the result of dividing lumen by power. The higher the value, the higher the energy conversion efficiency. The figure below shows the new Erp's regulations on energy efficiency labels. We can see that the higher the light efficiency, the more energy saving

What is CRI and why is it important?

CRI is an acronym for Color Rendering Index, when we want to know how colors look under a sunlight source, CRI is an important parameter. The higher the CRI value, the closer the color of the object being illuminated is to its true color. CRI is measured from 0 to 100. CRI80+ is the industry standard for most applications while CRI90+ is a premium level that can show your home, clothing, and furnishing look best.

What is color temperature?

What is Beam Angle?

The angle formed from the main axis with the strongest light source intensity to the 50% position of the luminous intensity on both sides is the so-called beam angle.

For the same light source, if the beam angle is larger, the central light intensity will be smaller, and the light spot will be softer. If the beam angle is smaller, the central light spot will be stronger and the light spot will be clearer.
