DahomX Low Carbon Lighting

LED Light Source for Retail and Commercial Spaces

DahomX was created by DAHOM to address the need to replace the numerous metal halide lamps used in retail and commercial space lighting. These lighting applications require the light source to deliver high luminosity and excellent color rendering to make the merchandise look good.

DahomX utilizes Xicato XSM Artist Series LED modules, which provide the best color rendering in its class with a CRI of 95. Despite using only 35W, it produces a light output of 3000 lumens. The attractively designed light fixture is minimalistic, allowing it to blend seamlessly into any retail environment. Its powder-coated aluminum body gives it a professional look and houses the electronic driver, fitting it nicely into any track railing. It is available in white, grey, or black finishing, with the option for special colors upon request.

In addition to saving energy and achieving aesthetic appeal, DahomX is also a low carbon lighting solution. It significantly reduces carbon emissions compared to traditional metal halide lamps.

DahomX is designed specifically to work with Xicato's XSM Artist Series LED Modules, which deliver a possible CRI of 95. This cutting-edge LED technology makes it the ideal replacement for metal halide lamps.
