LED Tri-Cluster Beam Projection Notes 

 

The information presented here applies to the LED MicroStars, the Tri-Clusters and 9 LED fixtures.

  • The Tri-Cluster has three LEDs which put out light in a 70 degree beam (pattern on right).
  • For a wider dispersement of light, clear silicone rubber sealer can be used to fill the LED cavity of the fixture. This will yield a light disbursement pattern as seen in photo below. The amount of diffusion is determined by the amount of silicon placed in the opening. Place thin layers at a time until desired diffusion is obtained.
  • If the target of illumination is beyond 8', the Tri-Cluster is recommended, as is.
  • For illumination of objects closer than 8', the silicone diffusion method may be more appropriate.
  • For the standard beam coverage, a good rule of thumb is that you will have a circle of light whose diameter is equal to the distance from the LEDs. I.E. 5 feet from the light fixture, you will get the coverage of a 5 foot diameter circle.
  • In the photo below, #350 and #370 are shown with silicone lenses.
  • An added feature to the silicone is that dirt and debris can't build up in the LED cavity. This may be an issue if the light is pointed upwards, or in a high humidity location.
