Pioneering lamps using LEDs built from pure gallium nitride substrates (GaN on GaN™), Soraa has made ordinary lighting extraordinarily brilliant and efficient.

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. Soraa is located in Fremont California, where it manufactures its GaN on GaN LEDs in the company’s state-of-the-art facility.

We have a philosophy of continuous improvement in our product design and

customer service which is implemented with a powerful set of values.

Soraa was founded in 2008 in Goleta, California, by a team of pioneering professors from the worlds of engineering and semiconductors. In 2007, they made a bet on an LED technology platform completely different than current industry practice, a technology most industry experts at the time considered to be impossible to execute. They bet on Gallium GaN on GaN for their LEDs.
Before Soraa, all LEDs worldwide were made of GaN crystals grown onto a dissimilar substrate: usually sapphire or silicon carbide.
Soraa bet that GaN on GaN™ LEDs would produce more light per area of LED and be more cost-effective than technology based on other substrates. This strategy ran against every trend in the LED industry. But Soraa’s world-class team had the credentials, experience, and vision to make that bet and beat the odds:

  • Dr. Shuji Nakamura, inventor of the blue laser and LED
  • Dr. Steven DenBaars, founder of Nitres
  • Dr. James Speck of U.C. Santa Barbara’s College of Engineering

That bet paid off: today, Soraa is the only LED manufacturer using perfect GaN on GaN™ crystals for its products.

The Soraa Snap System is the first LED lamp/accessory solution that is optimized to work as an integrated system. Based on high brightness single source GaN on GaN™ LED technology combined with an innovative set of magnetic filters and lens attachments, it completely redefines accessory application.

Boldly Designed.

Beautifully Understated.

Designed and built around the slimmest profile die-cast heat sink in the industry. Arc is optimized for superior thermal management and features the high quality of light you've come to expect from SORAA.

Human Centric Luminaires

By coupling our award winning optical design expertise with our Violet-Emission 3-Phosphor (VP₃) LED technology, we've redefined human centric lighting with two new specification grade fixture families that have outstanding lens uniformity, and color rendering capabilities. Our exquisitely designed, minimalist ambient LED luminaires are perfect for office, institutional, and retail applications.

BARREL CRI >90

The Soraa Barrel series has a unique curved arch form and is available in 2’x2’, 2x4, and 1’x4’. The eloquently designed, extruded aluminum Knife Edge frame provides thermal management and visual separation between frame and lens while the frame detail increases depth perception. Barrel is ideal for shallow ceiling plenums where HVAC and structural interferences are an issue. Designed for lay-in and gypsum board ceilings, the Soraa Barrel series delivers up to 5700 lumens and standard dimming driver options include 0-10V, Lutron and EldoLED.

GABLE CRI >90

Redefining traditional ambient luminaire design, the Soraa Gable series appears frameless, giving it an incredibly clean, contemporary aesthetic in 2’x2’, 2'x4', and 1’x4’ dimensions. Beautifully luminous, two uniform angled lenses gable up into a center spine element that also glows. All mechanical details are thoughtfully concealed on the luminaire and is designed for lay-in and gypsum board ceilings. The Soraa Gable series delivers up to 5700 lumens and standard dimming driver options include 0-10V, Lutron and EldoLED.
