Sharp Corp. has developed a series of 11 new LED lights and will introduce them into the Japanese market on September 1, according to a report in LEDs magazine. Four of the lights are oblong overheads with brightness equivalent to the fluorescent lamp fixtures currently in factories, offices and commercial spaces.One of the lights is a square overhead for use in conference rooms and similar spaces. The six remaining lights are circular downlights, three of which have a brightness equivalent to a standard 150W incandescent lamp, says Sharp.

Sharp’s six new LED downlights including three that deliver a light intensity equivalent to a 150 W incandescent lamp, and three that deliver the equivalent of 100 W lamps.

The complete line-up combines two types of LED with different emission color temperatures (neutral white and warm white) and two types of cover panels (transparent and translucent white).

Neutral white LEDs can generate bright lighting for factory or office entrances, warm white LEDs can provide relaxed lighting for hotel lobbies and such, and translucent white cover panels are ideal for use in hospitals and other venues where overly bright lighting must be avoided. Users can select from a total of six models according to application and installation location.
