LEDiL introduces HEKLA-KONNTAKT, a platform that combines the existing HEKLA optical system with a mechanical interface for COB LED modules. The concept is designed for luminaire manufacturers who want to reduce the number of variants without compromising on flexibility in light distribution and light source selection.
The base fixture can be manufactured first and wired without soldering. Only once the project requirements are known are the desired COB module and HEKLA lens or reflector installed. This shifts the final configuration to a later stage in the production process, which can help reduce inventory levels, lead times, and the complexity of variant management.
The modules can be installed or replaced using a standard screwdriver. This provides a user-friendly mechanical solution for assembly and maintenance. Additionally, when replacing modules or performing a future upgrade, it is sufficient to replace only the LED module, provided the luminaire is designed to accommodate this.
For engineers, HEKLA-KONNTAKT primarily offers a platform-based approach: a single mechanical base with various COB and optical combinations. For each combination, the engineer must validate the thermal design, mechanical fit, and photometric performance in the final luminaire.
