LUNA Optical Diffusers (Aluminate Material) by Khatod

LUNA Optical Diffusers (Aluminate Material) by Khatod

Through the continual exploration of new areas of application for the LED Technology, we are proud to introduce new innovative, and why not? also appealing products for our Customers.

Welcome to the new series of LUNA OPTICAL DIFFUSERS by Khatod!

LUNA Optical Diffusers (Aluminate Material)

LUNA OPTICAL DIFFUSERS apply and implement the new Photoluminescence Technology based on Aluminates, inorganic materials, for New Frontiers of Design.
Basing on the photoluminescence technology, LUNA OPTICAL DIFFUSERS
can be used in a variety of applications. They are perfect wherever a uniform soft light is required, while offering the exclusive property to glow on in the dark even when the lighting fixture hosting LUNA is switched off.

Like all photoluminescent objects, LUNA OPTICAL DIFFUSERS are “charged” and can be “recharged” by simple exposure to the natural or artificial light for few minutes. Specifically, as to LUNA OPTICAL DIFFUSERS, charging the photoluminescent crystals obviously occurs even and especially when the LED is ON. Then, when the LED is OFF, LUNA shines in the dark for several hours. The photoluminescent glowing effect comes in two colors: GREEN and BLUE.

How does LUNA actually glow-in-the-dark?
 
LUNA Optical Diffusers (Aluminate Material)- LED in OFF position in daylight: Charging the Aluminates
LUNA’s photoluminescent crystals absorb and store the light energy from ambient daylight.

- LED in ON position in daylight or in darkness: Lighting, and charging the Aluminates.LUNA illuminates the environment while the LED light charges the photolumine¬scent crystals:
• High diffusion flux
• High luminous intensity
• Perfect uniform light distribution

- LED in OFF position in darkness: Emitting GREEN soft light (GREEN crystals)
In darkness, LUNA crystals re-emit the stored light energy by emitting a luminous light over six/eight hours, by gradually decreasing in intensity. Recharge LUNA in day-light or by switching ON the LED.
• The soft light is diffused with a GREEN flux 
• Perfect uniform light distribution

- LED in OFF position in darkness: Emitting BLUE soft light (BLUE crystals)
In darkness, LUNA crystals re-emit the stored light energy by emitting a luminous light over six/eight hours, by gradually decreasing in intensity. Recharge LUNA in day-light or by switching ON the LED.
• The soft light is diffused with a BLUE flux 
• Perfect uniform light distribution


LUNA Optical Diffusers (Aluminate Material)The photoluminescence technology is based on phosphors derived from natural non-radioactive toxic-free and harmless rare earth mineral crystals that possess the unique capacity to absorb and store light energy from ambient light, natural or artificial.
In darkness, the crystals begin to emit a luminous glow by releasing the stored light energy over a length of time, up to six/eight hours, by gradually decreasing in intensity.
The crystals or pigments used for the photoluminescent properties of LUNA, are selected and REACH Certified pigments. The presence of heavy metals is far below the statutory limits according to the European and American Standards for safety regulations covering products falling in high safety categories such as cosmetics and toys.
The photoluminescence is a clean and renewable energy source, totally safe and harmless to the environment and humans. Its characteristics remain unchanged for years. The photoluminescent pigments used for LUNA are explosion proof, vapor proof, non-radioactive, non-toxic and environmentally friendly.




LUNA Optical Diffusers are provided with special adaptors, customized for the individual models of the major HB COB LEDs. The adaptors allow for the interchangeability of the LUNA models on the same LED source.
The assembly method is unique and easy to use. No soldering or gluing is required. They allow immediate easy assembling of the diffuser onto the COB LED by a simple twist & lock system. The concept is very simple:

LUNA Optical Diffusers (Aluminate Material) - Twist and Lock System
  a) fasten the adaptor onto the PCB with two screws;
b) twist & lock LUNA onto the adaptor by a simple rotation.

LUNA Optical Diffusers are in compliance with Zhaga Standards and fit most of the applications where COB LEDs are required.
