ARKALUMEN ORB
Key Product Features
Multi-channel constant current driver with up to 5 precisely controlled output channels
Integrated intelligent tunable spectra control features into a modular Zhaga based form factor
Select from different tunable white or tunable color arrays to achieve desired spectra mix, LES source size, and lumen output
Compatible with a wide selection of TIR optics and reflectors and easy integration with Arkalumen series of diffuser elements
The ORB family of LED drivers are the first products of their kind to integrate intelligent tunable spectra control features into an incredibly modular Zhaga based form factor, 50mm in diameter, 8mm high. Each ORB is a multi-channel constant current driver with up to 5 precisely controlled output channels, a holder for one of many different tunable white or tunable color LED arrays, and a platform for mounting various TIR optics and reflectors.

Mechanical Diagram
Lighting designers and fixture developers gain enormous design flexibility from the ORB’s modular architecture. They can choose either the tunable color 5-channel ORB5 or the tunable white 3-channel ORB3 and decide which control protocol works for their application. Designers can further select the LED array to achieve the desired spectra mix, LES source size, and lumen output and simply insert it. Auto calibration within the ORB simplifies their programming, though all ORBs can also be customized using a programmer to change intensity levels, CCT mappings, or dim curves.
