Comtec LED

Introduction

• The Comtec LED is the latest addition to our downlight range giving a cost effective alternative to the Protec LED range.
• The Comtec LED is designed around the Philips Fortimo twistable range of sources providing an easily maintainable LED source for the first time in our range of LED products. The Comtec LED is designed to accommodate a traditional set of downlight attachments allowing a more conventional downlight aesthetic with options such as frosted, drop and clear glass. The luminaire size is similar to traditional fluorescent products allowing retrofit with minimal risk of changing cut out size (please check luminaire dimensions for confirmation).
• The Comtec LED can be used in a range of applications from corridors to receptions through to retail and display and with certain attachments offers IP44 protection allowing this luminaire to be installed in applications where dust, dirt and liquid ingress is a potential issue such as toilets or under canopies. The Comtec LED offers a versatile downlight giving excellent energy savings and low maintenance costs at a competitive price.
• Custom bezels available on request for retrofit applications to ensure suitability for existing ceiling cut outs.

Applications

• Retail
• Receptions
• Corridors
• Meeting Rooms
• Airports
• Educational Establishments

LED Modules

“There are three key elements to effective LED performance, the LED, its driver and most importantly optimised thermal management.”

• The Comtec LED utilises the Philips Fortimo DLM twistable giving a lifetime of 25,000 operating hours.
• The LED module can be changed at the end of its life without the need to replace the luminaire.
• As would be expected from a quality source such as Philips, this LED is provided with a 3 year warranty.

Thermal Management

Thermal Management

The key to unlocking the full potential of LED lighting lies in effective thermal management. Put in its simplest terms, operating LEDs at cool temperatures maximises performance and life. The process of removing unwanted heat away from the LED module requires a heatsink.

CoolFin

The innovative design of our CoolFin heatsink (right hand side of image below) optimises heat transfer from the LED module to the surrounding air by maximising the surface area of the heatsink, while minimising the mass of aluminium used in assembly. This allows superior heat dissipation and much lower weight when compared with extruded aluminium heatsinks of similar size. The design uses interlocked aluminium fins brazed onto a precision machined solid aluminium core.

Benefits

The benefits of LED lighting

• Long life, low maintenance cost – LED lifespan with Comtec LED can be over 25,000 hours, and up to 50,000 hours in cooler operating temperatures. If used for 10 hours everyday the lifespan could exceed 10 years, offering savings through reduced maintenance costs.
• Extended lumen maintenance – HID and fluorescent lamps have a far shorter life with higher lumen depreciation meaning lamp changes have to be made far more frequently (as often as every 9 months for HID) in order to maintain the required light level.
• Glass & mercury free – Unlike fluorescent and HID lamps, LEDs have no brittle glass casing. This combined with being mercury free makes them the ideal choice for food safe environments where contamination must be avoided.
• Rugged durability and reliability – LED lights have no fragile filament or tube. They are generally more resistant to cold temperatures and shock, relative to HID and fluorescent lamps.
• Flicker free operation – Switch start and discharge luminaires exhibit flicker whilst in operation. This stroboscopic effect can be dangerous in areas with moving or rotating machinery and can also trigger epilepsy. LEDs operate with no flicker.
• No UV or IR – LEDs produce no Ultraviolet or Infrared which offers wider application potential.
• Extremely wide operating temperature range – Can be used at very low temperatures but also suited to warmer environments.
• Instant light – LEDs have no ‘run-up’ period or re-strike delay which can occur with HID lighting. Unlike fluorescent and HID lamps, LEDs are not affected by switching. Therefore, regardless of switching cycles LED life will remain the same.
• 3 year system warranty
