Low Energy Designs

SunFIRE™

SunFIRE™ uses high luminous fluxLEDs on high quality modular boards and in conjunction with our unique software controlled LED temperature monitoring and control system, this ensures maximum lamp life. It has the ability to set the maximum temperature on the LEDs allowing the customer to maximise and control the life of the product. Designed for fit and forget (FAF) applications to limit continuous maintenance.

The SunFIRE™ lighting products are suitable for a wide range of applications. Lights can be powered from renewable energy sources such as solar, wind and water.

SunFIRE™ has dynamic power control. This enables the unit to automatically modulate light output in response to ambient light levels (with potential additional energy savings). Using a PIR enables dimming of the light during periods of low traffic. This can be programmed to send light activation to a single light or whole group of lights for a road, pathway or area.

SunFIRE™ products can be manufactured to customer specification in order to provide a spectrum of desired colour rendering index (Ra) and colour temperature (K), from warmer white (2,700K) to cool white (6,500K +), this in conjunction with the various optical packages provides a flexible solution.

Customers have typically used the SunFIRE™ to replace 35-250 Watt HPSluminaires.

Standard Functions & Features.

  • Fully automatic light-adjusting dusk-to-dawn sensor (the light either increases or decreases brightness automatically fully programmable).
  • LED automatic temperature control (using our innovative P-N junction temperature control).
  • PIR movement light activation.
  • A range of light schedules can be programmed facilitating various power saving modes.
  • Remote luminaire alarms and ancillary functions (e.g. road temperature sensing, vibration sensing, intruder detection) Additional features include remote power output control, monitoring, LED max/min temperature setting, scheduling on/off times, fault reporting, 100% dimming from any output power, ramping power timer and system diagnostics.
  • Colour rendering index on our standard package of Ra ≥ 75 of standard daylight spectrum.
  • Wireless control of the luminaires allow for 100% customisation of lights.
