Concord has enhanced its multi-award winning Beacon range with the introduction of the innovative Beacon Projector.

Featuring a high output 26W cutting-edge LED chip, Beacon Projector has an innovative connecting snoot designed for precise manual focus and optimum directional lens control. Furthermore, at just 190mm in length, Beacon Projector is one of the smallest architectural LED projectors on the market.

"Beacon is a highly regarded product within the lighting industry and beyond," commented Kuldeep Vali, SBU Director Concord at Havells-Sylvania. "With the new Beacon Projector, we wanted to enhance the range and offer new directional beam options, which are critical in the museum environment, without sacrificing any of the benefits that makes the series uniquely successful."

Concord has a strong heritage in museum lighting and Beacon Projector is designed to continue the success in this area. As an example, the new framing lens frames light accurately around paintings without spilling light over the edges. Also, Beacon Projector has an integral adjustable lux level feature that reduces the effect of artificial light on any exhibit or artwork. The high colour rendering index (typically Ra95) also ensures objects are shown with clarity and in a natural light.


Beacon Projector is available in three versions, Framing, Iris or Gobo, and offers something to suit – whatever the application. The Beacon Projector also has two colour temperatures; warm white (3000k) and neutral white (4000k).

The product is available in track mounted and surface mounted versions and comes complete with an adaptable mounting plate. A ‘framing’ version has four adjustable arms to allow the beam to be customised and shaped into square, rectangular or irregular forms. If a beam angle of ten degrees is required, then the Iris version is the perfect option. This can be used to create a circular beam to allow smaller objects to be pin-pointed with light. With the Gobo version any image, pattern or logo can be projected with the use of a steel or glass Gobo and to give even more flexibility, photographic images or wording can also be printed onto acetate. The significance of this is that, as LED technology does not push heat through its lens, unlike halogen or CMI, any acetate can be used and it will not melt. Acetates can also be changed quickly making them perfect for retail environments where new offers or urgent sales of slow moving specific product ranges need to be highlighted.

Using a discreet, on-board dimming control, Beacon Projector is fully dimmable from 100% to 3%. This fully adjustable spotlight provides all the benefits of LED technology; no UV / IR radiation, 50,000 hours life at 70% luminous flux, maintenance-free use, and a considerable reduction in energy consumption over traditional light sources such as halogen. For complete peace of mind, the entire range comes with a five year warranty.
