Soffito SUP

The Soffito Upgrade Kit

Breathe new life into Soffito without the cost and disruption of a full product replacement.

It’s been 8 years since we launched Soffito with the oldest products operating continuously for more than 70,000Hrs, some, are beginning to show their age.

So while you may not be ready yet: the Soffito Upgrade Kit delivers the latest performance gains and product enhancements, whilst avoiding the cost and distruption of a full replacement.

We’ve made it easy

The Upgrade Kit, installs in minutes, just eight screws, power connection and a FIVE YEAR Warranty on all parts replaced.

Suitable for all exisiting Soffito

The New Soffito (SUP) UPGRADE KIT is fully compatible with all models of Soffito. Including Soffito connected to DALI UPS or the EM-IP65-30W, 90min Emergency Pack.

What’s in the box:

Performance Gains:

Up to 45% increase in lux levels* combined with L90 ≥100,000 Hrs performance ensures years of additional service and a 10% reduction in power consumption.

*Compared to original 200W Soffito in continuous operation since install.

How and why we de-stress key components to achieve maximum service life and optimum value

Isollux HE Chipsets are backed by independent photometry reports including, LM79 for colour rendering and IES files; and LM80 (10,000Hrs) predictive endurance tests. The LM80 reports allow engineers to accurately predict the expected performance of individual LEDs across a given range of thermal and electrical conditions. Typically manufacturers use this data to run the LEDs in circuit at or near peak loads to minimise cost to market by reducing component count.

Our engineers use the test data, as a bench mark from which to de-rate components, increasing the number of LED in circuit to optimise performance. Increasing LED count allows us to reducing drive current lowering the thermal load on all critical components, including the LED die, driver, PCB and electrical connections. This approach delivers significant gains in, efficiency, performance and reliability, in particular maximising the service life of each of the key components. 

SUP-HE Drive Current | ƒ

The illustration below scales the maximum allowable forward current for the Isollux HE chipset and the drive current used in the independent LM80 reports compared to the actual drive current used to power Soffito SUP (1,440 LED HE High Density Array).

SLP-HE Case temperature TC

The illustration below scales the case temperatures used in the LM80 reports tested at 150mA, compared to the actual case temperature of production models driven at 25mA. The combination of reduced If and Tc significantly increases performance and reliability.

Customer benefits of de-rating components

De-rating components reduces the Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) ie it reduces the long term cost of both operating and maintaining a lighting solution. Rather than focusing on headline price. TCO includes the capital cost of the luminaire and the cost of installing and maintaining the fixture.

The cost related to regular replacement of LED fittings is often overlooked. In the case of clean rooms it also generally results in significant business interruption to complex and sensitive production facilities. Adding the additional risk of performance caveats such as B’ratings and the costs quickly spiral. (See illustration below)

Isollux products are designed to surpass warranty without caveats, even when installed in challenging environments at high ambient temperatures. It provides specifiers with the option to compare operational savings over extended periods. Up to 200,000 Hours L70 when using lighting controls or a lower light loss factor, with the option to increase driver output retrospectively at the mid point in the product life cycle where controls are not an option.
