Adding to its range of outdoor LED solutions, the new TLBt single module luminaire and TMBt double module luminaire from GE Lighting are engineered to save both energy and operational costs, whilst providing high quality light output that improves road safety within tunnels.
The new tunnel luminaires are available in a range of optical combinations and mounting solutions, offering flexibility for a wide variety of applications, such as low and high-speed tunnels, underpasses and industrial areas. Both fixtures are highly durable and reliable, offering a rated life of 60,000 hours at L90 at an ambient temperature of 25oC.
Helping to achieve this impressive reliability are the fixture’s IP66 ratings for electrical and optical compartments, while the sleek and robust heat sink removes damaging heat from the LEDs. In addition, GE Lighting’s new tunnel luminaires benefit from a rapid tool-less driver gear door and light engine solution, which makes maintenance much easier and reduces costly tunnel closures due to the ease of replacing the components.
Upgrading to GE Lighting’s LED tunnel luminaires can reduce the amount of energy required to light a tunnel by as much as 70 per cent, translating into huge financial and environmental cost savings. What’s more, because of the advanced optical reflector technology incorporated in these two new luminaires, designers and operators have advanced abilities to control the direction and level of illumination, further reducing light loss and increasing energy and cost savings. This technology also improves safety for motorists by increasing light quality and visibility and reducing glare, allowing drivers to react more rapidly to emergency situations.
Both TLBt and TMBt luminaires are designed to accommodate DALI control systems allowing customers to use the fixtures in the most efficient way.
Mike Barrett, General Manager, Product Management for GE Lighting EMEA commented: “The TLBt and TMBt fixtures are the newest additions to our range of tunnel lighting solutions and offer superb all round performance in efficiency, durability and light output levels.
"We are confident in the results of all our R&D activities and testing and we are sure that our new LED tunnel luminaires will prove themselves to be of the highest quality, flexible to serve in a variety of applications on modern highways.”
