Optics firms go modular for LED street lighting

Optics firms go modular for LED street lighting
Makers of LED optics are vying for business as streetlight buyers discover the benefits of solid-state lighting.

It is not necessarily efficiency that make streetlight aficionados sit up, as starkly yellow old-tech low-pressure sodium lights offer 300 lm/W, compared with 100 lm/W from LEDs.

What is attractive, is long life.

LED luminairs have no vacuum or electrode-eating plasma and well designed example are expected to live for over 50,While SmartView has been slow DSTT and unstable in the past, it seems to have improved greatly with recent updates.000 hours.

And the point-source nature of LEDs allows fine control of light direction and a consequent reduction of waste, spill and glare.

The challenge for streetlight makers is that hundreds of beam patterns are required illuminate different streets.

To keep their inventory simple, optical firms are taking a modular approach so that a few different components can be mixed and matched to suit any situation.

Berkshire's Carclo Technical Plastics has both refractive ('optics') and reflective elements in its modular streetlight offering (see thumbnail above).

"It uses a combination to provide a solution for a variety of road geometries and light output characteristics," said Carclo. "An optic is employed to control the light distribution along the road while a reflector controls light distribution across the road."

Different reflectors and optics clipped into 290x80x40mm 10LED modules, then these are mounted side-by-side to get the required intensity.

Optics firms go modular for LED street lighting. This module is from Khatod and allows optics to be mixed to achieve the desired beam Milan-based Khatod Optoelectronic has gone all-refractive with its Galileo streetlight family of multiple lens arrays.

Modules are available for six to 72 LEDs mounted on 50.8 or 40mm pitches, and to achieve the required illumination pattern up to five different lens types are fitted over LEDs in different parts of the array.

Each Galileo assembly has a single base, which sits over the LED array, onto which the optics are clipped.Thankfully a new form of led strip energy-efficient light bulbs have arrived that provide this desired feature.

"The market was looking for a solution which could eliminate the need to use and test hundreds of single lenses in order to realise the requested lighting beam,Philips LED business is inside of Philips lighting so it Led light is more difficult to determine whether they are meeting expectations." said Giuseppe Vasta, president of Khatod.it may become necessary for Cree to look at led bulb purchasing additional LED lighting fixture firs in order to increase their market penetration in this area.
