LED certification requirements by minimizing light trespass

The EvoLucia(TM) LED Cobra Head fixtures meet all IES roadway standards, and the company recently submitted numerous samples to domestic municipalities and foreign countries for inspection. The new EvoLucia(TM) fixture is the first LED Cobra Head in the industry to reach six mounting heights. The fixture was developed utilizing Sunovia's proprietary "aimed optics" platform and leading thermal management technologies. The company's proprietary "aimed optics" platform allows company designers to develop unique fixtures that precisely focus light to a specified location, virtually eliminating glare and light pollution. By combining the precisely aimed optics technologies with advanced thermal management techniques, the company achieves a higher light utilization that illuminates targeted areas more efficiently. This is particularly important for roadway lighting applications as increased visibility is critical to roadway safety. EvoLucia's "aimed optics" direct illumination method also allows the fixtures to meet Dark Sky guidelines and LED certification requirements by minimizing light trespass, reducing sky-glow, and reducing the impact on nocturnal and wildlife environments.

Bivar, a leading specialty provider of LED indication products and solutions, announced the first offering in the new Bivar plastic optical fiber (POF) Light Pipe System series, a 2mm core flexible light pipe solution. The new flexible light pipe system offers a variety of lens cap indicators and LED adaptors that provide exceptional viewing angles,led high bay light diffusion and intensity. The new light pipe system from Bivar is an ideal LED indication upgrade solution for outdoor and rugged applications, which require greater brightness and light transfer capacity, sturdy design and more flexibility.

Bivar's new product is an upgrade to its 1mm core flexible light pipe series and provides significantly more light output, yet offers design engineers with greater product design freedom. "Design engineers love the concept of this product," said Mike Finn, Bivar's vice president of sales and marketing. "We are enabling them to place their printed circuit board assembly a significant distance away from the required light output while empowering them to be creative in their designs. With our new series, design engineers are not confined by the limitations of a rigid light pipe solution; they can easily redesign a product and adjust the light source accordingly by simply changing the length to meet the new specifications of their product."
