The Reality range replicates the light quality and aesthetics of traditional halogen lamps. A single Cree LED chip paired with a precision-engineered reflector creates the familiar arc of light favoured by lighting designers — with unbeatable brightness, perfect colour rendering and flicker-free dimming.

Reality LED lamps are designed to replicate the performance and aesthetics of traditional halogen lamps. Using a single Cree LED chip paired with a carefully engineered reflector, the result is a light source that produces the familiar arc of light typically associated with halogen — in a far more energy-efficient form.
Reality lamps offer a high colour rendering index (CRI) of over 90, ensuring colours appear true and vibrant. Combined with high lumen output, they deliver powerful light with excellent brightness and clarity for any setting — from residential interiors to retail and hospitality.
The Reality lamps have flicker-free smooth dimming. We have fully tested dimming compatibility with Lutron and a wide range of dimmer modules to make sure the experience is seamless — from a soft warm glow at 1% all the way up to full brightness.

The technical detail that separates Reality lamps from a standard LED retrofit.
Most LED lamps use multiple smaller chips, creating overlapping shadows and a "spotty" beam at close range. A single high-output Cree chip gives a clean, focused point source — just like a halogen filament — for crisp, uninterrupted light.
Shop Reality CRI 90+CRI measures how accurately a light source reveals colours compared to natural daylight. A CRI of 90+ is considered excellent — colours appear vibrant and true, skin tones look natural, and artwork or merchandise is shown at its best.

Shop Atmosphere DimmingEvery Reality lamp has been bench-tested with Lutron dimmers and a range of trailing-edge LED dimmer modules. The result: smooth, flicker-free dimming right down to 1% — no buzz, no flash, no stuck minimum.
Shop Dimmers Pro RealityThe Pro versions of the Reality range deliver higher lumen output for spaces where halogen brightness is essential — tall ceilings, retail, hospitality. Same anti-glare reflector technology, more light on the floor.
Shop Pro Reality CompareBoth ranges use anti-glare reflector technology. Reality replicates halogen's wider arc of light; Series 2 is engineered for AR70 and AR111 fittings with a more contemporary, harder-edged beam. Pick by fitting and aesthetic.
