Vynco adheres to an in-depth list of innovation points when procuring and designing a product. The list includes aspects such as installation convenience, aesthetics and functionality. One of the key company values is to produce high quality and innovative products to make the installer, specifier and homeowner's lives much more convenient.

The Crawford Oyster has a variety of benefits, with one of the stand-out features being the ability to change the colour temperature with the flick of a toggle switch. Placed on the back of the unit, the Crawford comes with 3000K, 4000K and 5700K options, catering to all colour temperature requirements. This changing ability also allows for the use of one product throughout a build, if different colour temperatures are required in different settings.

Colour change technology is an important development in the lighting industry, as it not only offers the convenience of holding stock of one fitting, but it also allows for an aesthetic flow throughout a domestic build. Use 3000K or 'warm white' in living areas such as lounge rooms and bedrooms to create a cosy atmosphere. Use 4000K, the equivalent to natural sunlight, in kitchens, laundries and bathrooms for a clear, crisp light that pairs well with whiteware. The 5700K 'cool white' option is commonly used in the medical sector as it provides a 'clean' sterile light, but could also be used in at-home workshop spaces. With the Crawford Oyster, it’s incredibly convenient to customise the mood and atmosphere of a home.

Its versatility doesn’t end with the colour changing option: this product has an Ingress Protection rating of IP54, meaning it can be used in indoor wet areas. This is the perfect unit for use in bathrooms and laundries where an attractive but watertight fitting is required. It is also dimmable, allowing the user to control how much light distribution they require.

The design itself is sleek and modern, with a slim white circular frame that sits on the surface of the ceiling. It features a white sealing gasket instead of the standard black, so no shadows are seen through the lens of the installed fitting.

Other key specifications of this product include a high colour rendering index of over 80, 120° beam angle for wide light distribution, and 50,000 hours of life under normal conditions.

Three units are available in 18W, 25W and 30W options, ranging between 300mm and 400mm diameter and a 52mm depth.

The Crawford Oyster range is backed with a three year warranty to give specifiers and homeowners peace of mind that they are using a quality product, which has been tested by Vynco’s team of highly specialised engineers in Christchurch.
