Light quality and glare control

Chors states that all its lamps are based on LED technology and diodes that simulate natural light, because the appearance of wood, stone and fabric depends on the light that falls on them. Many models use Sunlight LED modules rated CRI 98 or above, with MacAdam step 3 colour consistency.

• Maxime: the light source sits slightly back inside the body to limit glare, and the line can be used as single fittings or larger installations.
• Myco: combines focused and diffused light in one family; the Myco 120 has a built-in lens adjustable from 15° to 50°, and is also offered with Sunlike full-spectrum LEDs.
• Diffusers: SOFT (milky, for even general light), PRISM (directs light at 60° onto a worktop) and SOFT-PRISM (UGR of 19 or less, for screen work).
• Luno: ceiling lights with a sandblasted glass diffuser, no visible mounting screws and IP44 protection for bathrooms.

Colours and materials

Standard colours include black RAL 9005, and Chors offers NCS and RAL colours to order, subject to a minimum quantity. The Beep ceiling light is available in black with gold, rose gold or copper. Chors says it uses quality materials chosen for long life and easy recycling, and checks the source of raw materials when choosing suppliers.

Who Chors suits

Residential, hospitality and workplace projects that need discreet architectural light with good colour rendering, such as bathrooms, WCs, dressing rooms, corridors and galleries.
