Eight years ago, Brightgreen launched Tru-Colour®. It was (and still is) the world’s highest light quality. Think of it as the koala-shaped Pringle of light quality. Unforgettable. And when we combined Tru-Colour® with Brightgreen’s superior componentry and expert tinkering, the Plus Collection was born.
The superstar of the downlight world.
Aiming to elevate Tru-Colour® and the Plus Collection, we did what all great innovators do. We tore up the old playbook and started from scratch—meticulously reimagining each component, chip, and software in Melbourne.
For us, these downlights had to be the Usain Bolts, Sam Kerrs, and Michael Jordans of the LED world. Getting autographs. Popping bubbly. Adorning the walls of every aspiring lighting enthusiast. (And not just forcibly placed on our kids’ bedroom walls.)
And after three and half years of trying to one-up ourselves, we’ve clocked perfect, world-first scores in light quality.
Enter: Tru-Colour® 4.0 and the Plus 4.0 Downlights.
Topping the charts in quality, smarts, sustainability, and, oh, everything else—it might make you want to smooch your screen. But don’t. That’s weird. Instead, dig into this short write-up as we share all the juicy details of these new downlights.
Too many words? Hit fast-forward, and meet the Plus 4.0 Collection now.

Bring Your Interiors To Life. La Crème De La Crème. It’s #1 In Light Quality.
Tru-Colour® 4 takes the world’s highest light quality to an unprecedented level. (Sorta like giving a cheetah an espresso shot, but ten times better.)
We didn’t just snag gold but smashed the lighting Olympics (if that was a thing) with world-first, perfect ‘100/100’ scores on crucial measures of colour accuracy (TM30 Rg) and natural materials (CRI R9). Importantly, these perfect scores are not just numbers from a lab test—they reflect the quality you’ll experience in your spaces (which can’t be said about other manufacturers).
Step aside, Carl Zeiss.
The Plus 4.0 Downlights also have redesigned, advanced, optical grade polymer lenses—ditching reflectors—to banish light degradation and colour shift issues found in traditional designs. These little beauties offer unmatched, lossless light quality that leaves even high-quality glass optics eating dust. Your move, Carl.
But don’t just take our word for it. We’ve outperformed the natural sunlight (in Melbourne), scoring higher on CRI R9. And for our lighting nerds, here’s the nitty gritty:
- 100 TM30 Rg
- 100 CRI R9 (We tested the Melbourne sun. It was 98 CRI R9. Did we just beat the sun?)
- 100% optical-grade, reflector-free polymer lens for lossless light quality
- 100 colours CES14, CES68, CES69, and CES72
- 0.01% hue shift on critical hue angles 2, 11, and 12
More Handsome Than Chris Hemsworth. It’s #1 For Looks. It’s #1 For Versatility.
Alright, alright, who are we kidding? Hemsworth’s got the looks. But our revamped downlights are giving Thor a run for his money.
After a heart-to-heart with architects this year, we realised one truth—looks matter—a heck of a lot. So, we took our downlights back to the drawing board and gave them a makeover you’d swoon over. Here are all the drool-worthy aesthetics of the next generation in lighting excellence.
