Soraa’s full spectrum GaN on GaN™ LED lamps have superior color rendering and beam characteristics compared to lamps using LEDs created from non-native substrates. Founded in 2008, Soraa is located in Fremont California, where it manufactures its GaN on GaN™ LEDs in the company’s state-of-the-art facility.
Soraa’s Premium, Vivid & Outdoor MR16 lamp lines are the choice for interior & exterior lighting applications requiring a "no compromise" LED solution for a 50W halogen replacement. The Soraa lamp meets and even exceeds the performance of halogen MR16 lamps, while saving 75% of the energy.
