After a long journey that began in January 2013 we are finally ready to talk in detail of the LED fixture Sicce GNC AM 466.  The major feature of this lamp is to employ a very large number of low power LEDs, in contrast to the greater number of light fixtures sold in the market that have a few high-power LEDs. In this way you have less problems of overheating of the LED die, a greater longevity of the light fixture itself, and a very diffuse light, very similar to the one created by neon T5, although the effect of the reverberation, the so-called “glitter lines”, is totally lost. There is no danger, however, to see the spot of the LED reflections in the water and there are no lenses to direct the flow of the LEDs, as it should be in a ceiling light with such a large number of LEDs. 

Specifications

  The LEDs are a total of 420, 392 white and 28 blue, with 120 watt consumption reported by Sicce. The weight is 5.8kg for a size of 466x366x50 (h) mm. The purchase price amounted to € 1,592 in Italy for a single ceiling light, a system similar to what we had in our test then it would cost € 3,194, an extremely high price which we will discuss in the bottom of the article after examining in detail the ceiling. The line is extremely stringy and the construction of the ceiling lamp is excellent. 

  Side view is amazing for its slimness and well built. 

Design

  The Sicce GNC AM466 is built in an extremely simple manner, and, because of the materials used, can be easily guessed. The core of the LEDs are in fact mounted on a huge aluminum cooling heatsink, drowned on a transparent plexiglass plate, that even after ten months of use has remained extremely transparent. The plexiglas plate serves to protect the LEDs and to operate the passive cooling channels, given that the ceiling does not mount any type of fans or active cooling devices. The ceiling light is also waterproof, with the only critical point represented by the electrical plug. The building, as can be seen from the pictures is absolutely impeccable and of the highest quality. 

Setting

  The installation of the light fixture is extremely simple.… More:
