The Right LED
To meet today's general lighting standards, BetaLED™ works with premier, top-tier LED suppliers from around the world. Our primary LED partner, Cree of Raleigh, North Carolina, controls all aspects of its LED manufacturing.
From wafer fabrication to the final LED package Cree ensures the finest possible core light unit. The result is high-performance, super-bright white LEDs.
The current class-leading performance:
- More than 80 lumens per watt
- 6000 K colour temperature (3500 and 4300 K optional)
NanoOptic™ Product Technology
BetaLED™'s NanoOptic™ product technology is a direct contact refractor sealed to the LED dome. When used in combination with premium optical materials and our advanced optical design techniques, THE EDGE™ and LEDway™ deliver up to 96% optical efficiency.
This highly efficient patent pending refractor provides superior light distribution and significant energy savings by minimizing wasted light outside of the target area.
LED Light Engine - Light Bar
Designed to grow with LED technology, you select the right number of modular light bars to achieve the desired output.
Individual light bars consist of an array of LEDs, IP66 rated housing, and NanoOptic™ refractors. Each LED is robotically set onto the circuit board and NanoOptic™ sealed in place. The required light distribution is built into each bar.
Heat Sinks
Proper thermal management is key to longevity. Each light bar is mounted to heat sinks ensuring LEDs are operating at an ideal temperature and for easy scalability in design.
The heats sinks are very effective at moving heat away from the LEDs and the circuit board quickly. BetaLED™'s heat sinks are made from 100% recyclable aluminum.
Driver
Our universal power driver designed for THE EDGE™ is built to exacting standards. Providing up to 95% efficiency compared to 75% in current HID ballasts the driver features:
- -40°C to + 80°C operating range
- Voltage 120-277V; 347-480V input optional
- IP66
THE EDGE™ drivers are also located in a separate wet-listed compartment within the housing to ensure proper heat management in a weather-tight environment.
Housing
THE EDGE™ and LEDway™ styling blends low profile day-form appearance with outstanding thermal management.
The unique open, mesh top maximizes the slightest air movement to draw heat away. The flow-through design is used as a self-cleaning system for the entire unit.
