For municipalities seeking to improve night traffic safety and control energy costs, LED road lighting solutions have become the gold standard. Offering 60-70% savings compared to traditional sodium vapor lamps, these luminaires also significantly reduce maintenance costs thanks to their high lumen/watt efficiency and long lifespan. The 4000K neutral white light improves drivers' color discrimination, while the CRI ≥ 70 chipset makes pedestrian and cyclist visibility easier; thus, LED road lighting combines safety and comfort.
Durability is essential for outdoor luminaires. The IP66 dustproof housing and IK09 tempered glass offer complete protection against rain, snow, and impacts. The aluminum injection housing, with its wide fin heatsink design, keeps the LED temperature below 60°C, guaranteeing a 100,000-hour L80 lifespan. The modular optical system allows for beam angles specific to different road classes (Type II, III, IV). Thus, LED road lighting fixtures on 8-10 m poles achieve a homogeneous road brightness of 1.0 cd/m² over a distance of 35-40 m.
Intelligent control takes energy saving a step further. DALI-2 or Zhaga Book 18-socket drivers allow for the management of each fixture with a unique address via a wireless network. When traffic density decreases, the current value drops to 30%, reducing power consumption; the light automatically switches off around sunrise. Thanks to this dynamic dimming algorithm, annual consumption in LED road lighting systems decreases by an average of 45%. Furthermore, PF ≥ 0.95 and THD ≤ 10% parameters maintain high network quality, extending the lifespan of other electrical equipment.
Installation practicality is also a key feature. The adjustable mounting lug allows for quick transitions to poles with a top/bottom height of 48-60 mm; the 0-15° tilt adjustment precisely directs the light beam into the road corridor. The corrosion-resistant marine-grade coating protects the housing against salty humidity in coastal cities. The “tool-less” locking mechanism on the rear cover allows maintenance technicians to access the driver in a single movement; eliminating the need for manual cable disconnection and reconnection when changing fuse and surge protector modules.
The environmentally conscious design is embodied in the use of 90% recycled aluminum, lead-free solder, and halogen-free cable. The Group 0 classification according to the photobiological safety test EN 62471 proves that it poses no risk to the eye retina. Ossam Lighting provides IES/LDT files for these models, facilitating accurate lux simulations for designers; field measurements after commissioning perfectly match the digital twin data. Thus, Ossam Lighting's LED Road Lighting solutions bring safety, sustainability, and long-lasting performance together in a single unit, bringing the smart lighting infrastructure of the future to life today.
