TECOH^® MHx

Light plays a major role in the display and promotion of products and the quality of this light can make or break any scheme. MEGAMAN^® understands that highly efficient, eco-friendly solutions are required and has as a result, created a unique LED solution – the TECOH^® product range. TECOH^® is an LED ‘capsule’ with dimensions similar to G12 based ceramic metal halide lamps. The current product range comprises of a 36W LED capsule as a viable alternative to a 39W ceramic metal halide product.

The unique patented thermally conductive base and head design used within TECOH^® offer superb heat dissipation, resulting in excellent lighting performance and lumen maintenance. The two highly efficient, axial positioned LED arrays also allow fixture manufacturers to use reflectors to effectively control the beam and create powerful accent lighting.

Adaptable and long-lasting

With dimensions similar to G12 based metal halide lamps, only simple adaptations are required to existing fixtures to accommodate the TECOH^® product range. The lamps have also been designed with future-proofing in mind: the capsule heads are exchangeable and upgradeable to accommodate technological advances. In addition, the lamp’s design ensures consistent luminous lux over its lifespan and, after 40,000 operating hours, 70% of the initial luminous lux still remains.

In comparison to ceramic metal halide products the TECOH^® range offers additional ecological, as well as performance, advantages:

• Life time up to 40,000 hours with a 70% lumen maintenance throughout the entire lamp life resulting in low maintenance costs
• Instant start and hot restrike capable
• Dimmable
• High colour consistency (< 5 SDCM) throughout life and independent of the burning position
• Variety of choice to match application requirements – R9 options available
• No UV radiation, no special UV-filters are required for safe operation
• Negligible IR radiation
• No hazardous substances, eliminating the risk of potential exposure to radioactive Kr85 in case of lamp breakage
• No safety glass required since explosion risk is eliminated as TECOH^® is not operating at high pressures unlike metal halide alternatives

With its unique design TECOH^® is the ideal lighting solution for a variety of shop lighting applications such as boutiques, food outlets and shopping malls. Due to the absence of UV radiation and negligible IR radiation TECOH^® also successfully meets all the requirements for museum and gallery lighting. TECOH^® is not a retrofit solution and requires design and engineering to be integrated into a fixture.

TECOH^® CFx

MEGAMAN^®'s TECOH^® CFx range of high performance twist-lock LED modules has an integrated driver for general lighting and is designed in line with proposed Zhaga specifications. With lumen packages of 1100 and 1800 lumens, MEGAMAN^®'s TECOH^® CFx modules are ideal for use in downlights, replacing conventional light sources such as 50W halogen and 2x13W and 2x18W compact fluorescent lamps.

In line with MEGAMAN^®’s policy to develop only eco-lighting solutions, the TECOH^® CFx range of socketable modules can be easily serviced and upgraded to the latest LED technology.  By using the twist-lock solution the existing luminaire can be retained, minimising the environmental impact of replacing the whole fixture.
 
MEGAMAN^®'s TECOH^® CFx modules are based on a unique design using a multiple-chip white LED array at the bottom of the module and a reflector to direct the light through a slightly opaque cover, resulting in a lambertian* beam shape. This unique approach ensures that TECOH^® CFx modules offer good colour characteristics and superb lumen maintenance over life, emit negligible UV, have excellent dimming capabilities and result in low maintenance costs.

*Lambertian - the light from the LED spreads over the full hemisphere with light rays going in all directions
