Stratas.02: A Revolution in LED Spotlights

Introducing the Stratas.02 LED Spotlight

The Stratas.02 is a groundbreaking LED spotlight designed by Christian Schneider-Moll. This innovative design is exclusively tailored for the Xicato XSM Artist Series LED Module, making it the pinnacle of color rendering LED technology. With its refined and minimalistic design, the Stratas.02 is the perfect complement to architecturally designed spaces, artwork, and interior environments. Let's delve into the unique features and exceptional craftsmanship that set this spotlight apart.

The Stratas.02 sets a new standard in LED spotlights with its exceptional color rendering capabilities. The Xicato XSM Artist Series LED Module boasts a Color Rendering Index (CRI) of 95 or higher, ensuring true-to-life colors and vibrant illumination. This spotlight is meticulously crafted with clean lines and minimalistic details, eliminating any unnecessary clutter. The concealed track mounting mechanism within the base/LED driver further enhances its sleek appearance.

Unlike other LED spotlights on the market, the Stratas.02 ingeniously incorporates a heat sink into its design without compromising its aesthetic appeal. The spotlight features a recessed slot that maximizes heat sink performance while maintaining its smooth cylindrical form. This innovative design allows for efficient cooling, ensuring the longevity and optimal performance of the LED module. All thermal designs have been rigorously tested and approved by Xicato in their state-of-the-art facility in the Netherlands.

Changing reflectors has never been easier with the Stratas.02. The spotlight comes with three interchangeable reflectors: a 20˚ spot, a 40˚ medium, and a 60˚ flood. These reflectors can be effortlessly swapped without the need for any tools. Additionally, the honeycomb anti-glare louvre ensures clean and effective lighting, enhancing the overall visual experience.

The Stratas.02 is not only visually appealing but also highly functional. It offers a full 0°-90° vertical tilt and 360° rotation, allowing for precise positioning and customization of the lighting. The installation process is simple and intuitive, with the spotlight easily fitting into the EuTrack and Erco track systems. An electrician is not required, making it accessible for anyone to install.

Manufactured to the highest quality control standards, the Stratas.02 is crafted from powder-coated aluminum, ensuring durability and longevity. It is available in a range of colors, allowing for seamless integration into any design scheme.

Technical specifications include the Xicato XSM Artist Series LED module with a CRI of 95 or higher, 1000lm, 22.1W, and 3000 K warm white. The spotlight also comes with a 3-circuit adapter for EuTrack and Erco Track, an integrated electronic LED driver, and a potentiometer for dimming control.

The Stratas.02 is a testament to the future of lighting technology. Its sustainable design and long-lasting performance make it a standout choice for those seeking both efficiency and aesthetics. With its exceptional color rendering capabilities and innovative features, the Stratas.02 is set to revolutionize the world of LED spotlights.

Christian Schneider-Moll and his team spent six months developing the Stratas.02 in their Berlin workshop. Their extensive research and collaboration with Xicato led to the creation of this exceptional design.

This design was recognized with the Iron A' Design Award in the Lighting Products and Fixtures Design category in 2012. The award highlights the Stratas.02's well-designed, practical, and innovative characteristics that meet professional and industrial requirements. It is a testament to the product's integration of industry best practices and competent technical features.
