Abstract

Compared to traditional street lighting technologies, light emitting diode (LED) luminaires have the potential advantages of increased energy efficiency, longer operating life and better light distribution. In this paper, we present a new high-quality LED road lighting luminaire. The luminaire shows high optical efficiency, high optical utilization factor and low glare, and illuminates the street with high uniformity. We verify its feasibility by Monte Carlo ray-tracing and test its real performance through a prototype model of the luminaire. The results show that it can achieve the expected performance.
