Verbatim has used technology developed by its parent company Mitsubishi Chemical Corporation (MCC), in a new range of high performance LED lamps that achieve increased heat dissipation through advanced thermal cooling using a sophisticated heatsink design. The professional range of PAR16 LED retrofit lamps with a GU10 base deliver up to 660 lumen output – almost twice as bright as a standard 50W halogen spot lamp.

Coupled with improved airflow and employing the latest chip-on-board technology, the lamps can be driven harder without overheating and offer an extended lifetime of up to 40,000 hours.

The lamps use single focus diamond cut optics that allow light to be dispersed in a defined manner, avoiding glare, stray light and hotspots associated with many competing products. They are particularly suited for use in high ceiling fixtures present in retail, leisure and hospitality locations. With a 35° beam angle, the lamps focus light where it’s needed with minimal spill. The PAR16’s compact body (50mm diameter, 56mm height) ensures easy fitting and alignment into fixtures.

Offering 25% more efficiency than the previous generation, Verbatim’s A+ energy efficiency rated LED lamps provide a cost-effective replacement for halogen lamps. The lamps offer all the energy saving benefits of LED lighting together with exceptional high brightness, beam control and lifetime performance.

A family of four 8.5W PAR16 GU10 spotlights offer various lumen and colour temperature options, all at very high efficacy levels. Delivering between 590lm and 660lm, the LED lamps produce a luminous intensity from 1180cd to 1340cd at colour temperatures ranging from 2700K to 4000K. Three of the lamps offer high quality halogen-style dimming control at an attractive price.

A fourth lamp in the family is a competitively priced alternative for professional applications where a non-dimmable option is better suited without sacrificing reliability and long lifetime – a product which Verbatim anticipates significant demand for.

Additionally, a family of four 6W PAR16 GU10 spotlights deliver between 400lm and 450lm of brightness (equivalent to a 60W or greater halogen lamp). The LED lamps produce luminous intensity from 1000cd to 1170cd at colour temperatures ranging from 2700K to 4000K. The lamps also offer improved compatibility to dimming controllers.

“With supporting technology from Mitsubishi, Verbatim’s new PAR16 GU10 lamps have raised the bar as far as delivering brightness and quality of light is concerned. Twinned with the proven reliability customers continue to appreciate when using Verbatim LED products, we anticipate huge demand for these high performance spotlights and the broad choice of options allows lighting professionals to decide which to buy according to their preference,” comments Jeanine Chrobak, Business Commercial Manager LED EUMEA, Verbatim.
