XSM Vibrant Series LED Module
Manufacturer: Xicato
Light quality'and not necessarily brighter light'can deeply affect how viewers see color and texture, so Xicato has tuned color gamut areas to create its Vibrant Series, an LED solution that renders cleaner whites, more brilliant reds, pinks, and blues, and greater depth and detail. The 1¾”-diameter module can be used by curators, designers, and retailers to highlight particular displays without affecting the color temperature of the surrounding space.
