LEDs for industrial and outdoor applications

The TALEXXmodule RLE OTD EXCITE 2x4/ 2x8 HP high performance modules will provide a durable lighting system which, thanks to an efficiency of up to 161lm/W and 4kV overvoltage protection, offers performance both in outdoor and industrial applications in an extended temperature range from -40° to 105°C. The modules have passed the test carried out in an environment of salt water and fog according to IEC 60068-2-52 and are also resistant to hydrogen sulphide (GR-1217-CORE).

The RLE OTD EXC have been designed so that they can be used with standard lenses that are available with varied emission characteristics which offer flexibility. “Depending on the beam characteristic, a symmetrical or asymmetrical distribution of light with wide or narrow beam angles is possible. This enables floodlights to be generated and rooms with particularly high ceilings such as those found in factories and warehouses to be illuminated,” explained Martin Thompson, Technical Services Manager for Tridonic in the UK. He continued: “With an estimated life expectancy of 100,000 hours at an operating current of 700mA (L80 B10 at 105°C at the tc point, or L90 B10 at <80°C at the tc point) these modules offer a considerable reduction in maintenance time.”

Tridonic offers a Design In service to ensure the best thermal design of the luminaire components, ensuring long term reliable operation in L90 B10. If a temperature sensor is required that allows power reduction to protect the technology, the modules are also available with external and internal logic. Both versions are protected against polarity reversal.

M3 screws can be used to secure the LED modules in the luminaire together with the selected lens if required. Alternatively, the modules can be secured via M4 fixings directly in the luminaire head making assembly much easier.

When combined with a driver and ready2mains programmer, the LED modules can be easily programmed via the mains and can be adapted to changing lighting scenarios. In future, net4more, the new hardware and software platform, will open up even more possibilities for scalable and connected lighting thanks to its open interfaces.
