LEDiL’s precision-moulded MR11 (32.4mm and 35mm diameter versions) MINNIE reflector series allows for rapid deployment of new lighting solutions using Cree MT-G LEDs. Lighting designers now have a more reliable, low-cost choice than traditional drawn or spun metallic reflectors.
Moulded from durable polycarbonate plastic resin, the optimal optical geometric design achieved in the design process is reproduced in the moulding process. The reflectors, currently available in 26, 36 and 74 degree FWHM (full width half modulation) beam patterns, are finished in an aluminium coating with a protective lacquer finish and provide greater than 90% optical efficiency. The product is also available with a secondary adapter base that easily fastens to the PCB for quick attachment of the reflector cup to the adapter, making MINNIE simpler to mount than traditional metallic reflectors.
Lighting designers are rapidly developing LED-based solutions that take advantage of the up-to 80% reduction in power afforded by solid-state technology and the long-life span of LEDs. LEDiL’s MINNIE reflectors allow immediate deployment – with no tooling investment – of LED-based fixtures to replace traditional halogen or incandescent bulbs in applications where directed light is favoured, such as in spotlights in retail displays, meeting rooms, or in restaurants and bars. MINNIE reflectors are also ideal for use in museums and galleries as there are no damaging UV rays or heat in the beam.
