SunLike LED strips: LinearZ with CRI97   and light output up to 2600 lm / m
SunLike LED strips: LinearZ with light spectrum like natural light for the purest of colors

With the new SunLikeTRI-R™ technology from Toshiba-SSC (Seoul Semiconductor) you can always enjoy a natural light source. All colors are as vibrant and have the same shade under SunLike LED light as they are seen out in the daylight.

This natural light spectrum contributes to our well-being and helps us become more productive. It has a huge importance in all areas where color appreciation is important: health, fashion, art, etc.


The SunLike LED spectrum illuminates colors just like natural light

An important factor for our well-being is the intensity of blue light in the light spectrum of the light source. Standard LEDs produce white light by coating a blue LED chip with a phosphor layer, thus having a high-intensity spectrum of blue light.

There are studies that show that too much blue light can affect sleep or cause migraines. The SunLike TRI-R 5000K LEDs emit much less blue light than standard LEDs and their brilliance does not have any negative effects on our health.

Blue light: difference between SunLike Tri-R LED and Standard

The LinearZ module is a lightweight, easy-to-fit light source, equipped with Toshiba-SSC SunLike™ TRI-R™ LEDs and is built in standard Plug & Play Zhaga format.

Beyond the natural spectrum with CRI 97+, the LinearZ strip is also very durable and has low energy consumption. SunLike LEDs are among the best performing mid-power LEDs on the market, with over 36,000 hours of operation and a minimum light efficacy of 120 lumen / watt.

One meter of SunLike 52 LED module provides a solar white light output of over 2600 lm (250W equivalent) at only 24 watts and using only 92 SunLike LEDs.

LinearZ SunLike is a great choice for compact and bright luminaires for applications where the light spectrum has to be natural.

For luminaires with a length of less than 52 cm, you can choose the LinearZ 26 LED with a luminous flux of up to 2600 lm / m.

The module has a shape in Zhaga's standard form and connection, thus a fixture with this standard can be maintained or updated with future LinearZ LED strips or from other manufacturers.


  • LinearZ 52 complies with Zhaga Book 7 L56W2 for modules of 52 cm length
  • LinearZ 26 complies with Zhaga Book 7 L28W2 for module of 28 cm length

LinearZ modules use a Plug & Play power system that allows wires to connect without soldering gun and use a constant current desgin for the highest energy efficiency.

Investing in SunLike modules is safe due to the 5 warranty.

Applications for LinearZ LED SunLike LEDs:

  • Natural spectrum lighting for clothing, decorations, jewelry, museums, art galleries, hospitals, medical clinics, hairdressing salons
  • Production of compact and very bright luminaires

The SunLike quality difference

Artworks have a lot to gain when they are illuminated with SunLike LEDs. Colors look like the painter indended.

Toshiba is a Japanese conglomerate with a history of more than a century, now specialized in semiconductors, electronics and hardware, with nearly 20,000 employees and an annual turnover of 40 billion USD. Toshiba has invented the TRI-R technology and makes the LED chips used in the SunLike LEDs by Seoul Semiconductor from South Korea.

Seoul Semiconductor (SSC) is an LED-maker with more than 27 years of experience, in the top 10 global producers with annual LED diode sales of more than $ 1 billion.


The difference between the quality and performance of a LinearZ with SunLike LED strips and a common LED with budget LEDs is evident from the first light and in time the gap increases even more.


1) Excellent color fidelity

Sunlike LEDs are characterized by very high values in the color rendering index (CRI) and color quality (CQS). Because LEDs with TRI-R technology include the full range of colors such as sunlight, it is possible, for example , correctly evaluate all the colors of a clothing item, artwork, gold with all reflections or even a pale tone of skin.



The continuous color spectrum delivered by the TRI-R makes it possible to reach very high values for CRI (97+) and CQS (Qa96), both close to the 100 possible.

Thus, with the TRI-R LEDs, it is possible for an illuminated object to have the same brightness and shade as the sunlight.

SunLike LED light quality is close to natural light
The objects illuminated with SunLike LEDs have a higher contrast.

3) Higher contrast

How well a person sees depends on many factors, one being the proportion of blue in the white light. Blue light is more diffuse reflected than yellow or red light and this explains why the sky is blue.

Even in the eyes, the blue light is more scattered, and a person perceives this as a glow. With TRI-R technology, the unusually high blue content in the LED light is eliminated, resulting in greater contrast and generally better visual performance at the SunLike LED light.


4) Natural shine at the same intensity for a long time

After 6,000 hours of operation, the SunLike LEDs retain 96% of the initial light output, in contrast a low cost LED loses up to 60% of the initial brilliance in the same time range. The explanation lies in the quality of the materials and the construction of the chip and the LED diode.

The evolution of SunLike LED light output is supported by tests for 6,000 hours, according to the LM-80 standard, and the lifetime (the time when light drops to 80%) is calculated according to TM-21 methodology, both internationally recognized. 


5) Uniform color temperature

On a LinearZ module, all SunLike LEDs have the same shade of white light, just like all LED strips in a delivery. The shade will be kept on a future order, such uniformity being possible due to the 3 Macadam Elipse sorting standard.


In contrast, on the cheap module, the LEDs may have more shades or the difference in shade between different reels is significant. The requirement that at the next order the color temperature is as before is impossible to accomplish. The reason is the lack of a post-production sorting standard (a price-increasing standard). Moreover, after just a few thousand hours, each cheap LED on the strip changes its hue, differently.


6) The SunLike LED is more energy efficient

Depending on the technology used, LEDs may have different light output for the same power consumption. The difference in light efficacy (lumens per watt) from one LED to another may even be 500% and has a very high influence on the production price.

The SunLike LEDs have a very good light efficacy for a very high CRI LED, more than 120 lumens per watt. An inexpensive LED with a CRI of less than 70 has around 50 lumens per watt.

In other words, one meter of LinearZ 24W is as bright as two meters of 14.4W / m strip with 5050 cheap LEDs (total consumption 28W per meter). After 6,000 hours the LinearZ module will become as bright as nearly four meters of the cheap LED strip due to the degradation of the latter's luminous flux.
