Then and Now with the 579e

In 2023, Modular International introduced the 579e LED modules at LEDucation. The high output and energy efficient 579e module series was developed by Modular International in response to the needs of lighting professionals seeking an energy efficient lighting product that can achieve high delivered lumen levels at lower wattages and high CRI for a reasonable price. 

The 579e modules give the delivered lumen performances of an 80+ CRI product with superior color rendering over standard 90+ CRI products. The 579e series achieves industry leading lm/w efficiency across a wide range of delivered lumen packages and are available in 2700K, 3000K, 3500K and 4000K. 

The 50mm (MR16 size) 579e module offers a 17-, 30-, 40-, or 55-degree beam angle, 6-12 watts, 744-1,458 delivered lumens, 124-139 lm/w (tested at 2700K) and 90+ CRI (R9 value >77-94). Fixture aperture opening: two inches and larger.

The 70mm (AR70 size) 579e module offers a 20-, 30-, 40-, or 55-degree beam angle, 12-20 watts, 1,652-2,746 delivered lumens, 126-146 lm/w tested at 2700K and 90+ CRI (R9 value >83-94). Fixture aperture opening: four inches and larger.

The 90mm (PAR30 size) 579e module offers a 35-, 45-, 60-, or 90-degree beam angle, 20-35 watts, 2,993-5,224 delivered lumens, 142-156 lm/w tested at 2700K and 90+ CRI (R9 value >82-94). Fixture aperture opening: five inches and larger.

As Modular International prepares for this year’s LEDucation, the 579e modules enter 2024 having earned six major industry awards and accolades. Recognized for their performance, sustainability, innovation, and design, the 579e modules have solidified a spot within the lighting industry as a premiere solution for energy efficient lighting.
