Range of locally made luminaires extended

eka Schréder has announced that a fourth size has been added to its range of
outdoor LED luminaires. The range now comprises of the LEDLUME XP 1, XP
B2, XP 3 and XP 4.
The LEDLUME XP now offers the ultimate flexibility and versatility. The different
sizes enable these luminaires to provide the most appropriate solution for each
application with only the necessary number of raw materials needed. The extended
range also ensures that these luminaires can be used in a wider range of lighting
applications, from bicycle paths to interchanges, with a coherent design and
technical consistency.
These luminaires offer optimised photometrical performance with a minimum
total cost of ownership, providing customers with the ideal tool to generate energy
savings, improve lighting levels and reduce maintenance costs. The great variety of
high-performance optics optimises the photometric distribution for each specific
application to achieve minimum energy consumption.
This range of locally designed and manufactured luminaire (SADC Class S
>87% local manufacture) takes advantage of the latest photometric innovations.
It uses the new LensoFlex4 photometric engine, which has been developed for savings and provide the most cost-effective solution.
