[Horizon]

A new version of the NVSW519A-V1 portfolio has been added, featuring a TLCI (Television Lighting Consistency Index) of 90 and a color rendering index of Ra ≥ 90 and R9 ≥ 50 with enhanced efficiency. TLCI is an indicator that quantifies the color reproduction of illuminated objects when they are projected on a display through a camera. Video and images taken under high TLCI lighting have higher color reproducibility than those taken under ordinary LED lighting, allowing users to enjoy natural, vivid, and beautiful images on TVs, PCs, and smartphone screens. This product, which also features high power, long lifespan, and high reliability, is ideal for stadium lighting and studio lighting　where high TLCI is required.　By becoming closer to reality, viewers can have a more enjoyable experience.
