As the focus on light quality continues to move to center focus, a new release from TCP called Solistic lighting has plenty of eye-opening features. TCP LED Q-SOL lamps have been developed with an advanced LED chip that allows the lamps to mimic characteristics of natural sunlight without harsh UV or blue light spikes that most LED light sources emit. This means that users enjoy better visual comfort with higher levels of focus and better sleep cycles. The wavelength graph above depicts that balance in spectrum compared to the standard.
TCP’s Solistic LED lamps also feature an unmatched 97 CRI and high R9 value for excellent color rendering. They come in three different lamp styles including Type A and Type B LED T8 tubes in 4000K and 5000K. The Type B Q-SOL LED T8 is a flicker free tube with single-end wired install. The Type A Solistic LED T8 lamp works off existing compatible fluorescent ballasts. The other Q-SOL lamp is a TCP LED Starlight shaped bulb, which is a wide flood style lamp that currently only TCP offers.
All TCP LED Q-SOL Lamps:
TCP LT818AQ40K – Q-SOL Type A LED T8 18W 97 CRI 4000K
TCP LT818AQ50K – Q-SOL Type A LED T8 18W 97 CRI 5000K
TCP LT818BQ40K – Q-SOL Type B LED T8 18W 97 CRI 4000K
TCP LT818BQ50K – Q-SOL Type B LED T8 18W 97 CRI 5000K
TCP L20SL16D30Q30K – Q-SOL LED Starlight Bulb 20W 97 CRI 3000K
TCP L20SL16D30Q40K – Q-SOL LED Starlight Bulb 20W 97 CRI 4000K
TCP L20SL16D30Q50K – Q-SOL LED Starlight Bulb 20W 97 CRI 5000K
These look like amazing bulbs, and I’m tempted to purchase them. There is not a single review on line for their performance or enhanced light quality… including nothing on the TCP website. It’s feels a little suspicious that there is not a better response to these bulbs.
