The trend toward LED lighting continues to grow, and with good reason (visit our LED Evolution page for more information). Of course, it follows that as the interest in LEDs grows, so do innovations in LED technology.
Still, not all LED lighting is created equal. At Sharp, we understand that to be successful in a crowded marketplace, your products need to not only be highly functional and reliable, they must also deliver light that makes objects, people, and places look their absolute best.
Sharp incorporates some of the industry’s most exclusive, patented approaches into our LED design and manufacturing. Our modules go above and beyond the many significant benefits of standard LED technology to bring you some of the richest, most true-to-life color rendering available to help your designs truly stand apart.
Some products in Sharp’s LED Suite boast color rendering performance as high as 93 CRI, and nearly all exceed ENERGY STAR’s minimum requirement of 80 CRI. However, we recognize that CRI alone is not enough.
Sharp goes beyond typical CRI measurements (R1 – R8 on the color rendering spectrum) to focus on crucial R9 deep red performance. An accurate rendering of deep reds lends a warm, vibrant visual aesthetic that will help you elevate your lighting products from “efficient” to “unforgettable.”
Whether you are looking to make the leap to LEDs from other types of light sources or are seeking new LED options to give your products a more premium look and feel, see below for more detail about Sharp’s varied LED product offerings. Then, consider putting Sharp’s 40 years of LED expertise to work in your designs.
Sharp offers a full spectrum of LEDs to meet all of your design needs. Now, we once again expand our LED suite with the introduction of new, high-powered 15W and 25W Mega Zenigata LEDs and the new 10W Mini Zenigata. These new products help enable you to utilize LEDs in design for entirely new lighting product applications.
Now, Sharp helps you evolve whole new categories of lighting product into the LED age. Our new Mega Zenigata is one of the industry’s first LED-based solutions for traditional 75W and 150W incandescent, halogen, and compact florescent applications. These energy-saving 15W and 25W LED packages deliver all the benefits of typical LEDs, plus Sharp’s signature R9 deep red performance. Choose from a variety of Mega Zenigata products, some boasting light output exceeding 100 lumens per watt.
The all-new 10W Mini Zenigata provides energy-saving replacement options for traditional 50W incandescent applications, while delivering Sharp's dazzling deep red (R9) performance. 3.6W and 6.7W modules with enhanced CRI, efficacy, and lumen output are now also available.
Now, even more good things come in small packages. Sharp has introduced a new premium offering in our Double Dome product family, boasting even higher CRI, efficacy, and lumen output. Enjoy the design benefits of the Double Dome’s small 2.8 mm x 2.8 mm x 1.9 mm footprint.
These LEDs provide up to 540 lms in a small 18 x 18 mm ceramic package. Sharp’s proprietary module solution combines high electrical isolation and improved thermal performance in a power-saving solution.
These LEDs are the perfect solution for applications requiring uniform light distribution without the hassle of complex thermal management.
