Soraa, a leader in GaN on GaN™ LED technology, announced the installation of LED lamps at the new Yauatcha City restaurant. Yauatcha City is a unique, contemporary dim sum teahouse that is lit to create both a sense of drama and intimacy for the restaurant patrons.https://cdn.specpick.com/images/photonics/yauatcha_3_300.jpg712370

Paul Nulty Lighting Design (PNLD) chose Soraa LED lamps because of their quality to deliver perfect rendering of colors and whiteness. Soraa LEDs create a dramatic lighting environment that is consistent with Yauatcha City’s identity and characteristics. The restaurant’s architectural details include bespoke bone white china pendants that use Soraa lights to illuminate each seat individually. Soraa downlight LEDs create the drama in the restaurant’s starlit ceiling and illuminate the beautiful, blue glass balustrade.

According to Claire Hamill, Senior Designer for Paul Nulty Lighting Design, Soraa’s technology casts more light from a smaller source and renders truer colors that creates a unique atmosphere, while maintaining a level of intimacy for diners.

Soraa’s GaN on GaN™ LED technology allows its LEDs to operate at currents that are more than five times higher than LEDs built on other materials. As a result, a lot of light comes from a very small source, resulting in a narrow beam of light from one source. This elegant LED design provides crisp object definition with a single shadow.

Soraa’s Violet-Emission 3-Phosphor (VP₃) LED technology allows for perfect rendering of colors and whiteness. Utilizing every color in the rainbow, especially deep red emission, Soraa’s lamps render warm tones accurately, and achieves a color-rendering index (CRI) of 95 and deep red (R9) rendering of 95. And unlike blue-based white LEDs without any violet emission, the company’s lamps have violet emissions to properly excite fluorescing brightening agents, including natural objects like human eyes and teeth; as well as manufactured white materials such as textiles and paper.

According to Bruno Veninga, Head of Architecture and Interiors at Hakkasan Group, lighting is a critical element in their restaurants and Soraa LED bulbs with their GaN on GaN technology provide a balance of color consistency, environmental consideration and product longevity.
