Stylish, continuous row lighting setups for elegant yet efficient office lighting.
Good general lighting in offices provides sufficient illumination to allow people to see and work comfortably without causing glare or eye strain. A well-designed lighting system provides uniform illumination throughout the space, eliminating any dark or shadowed areas that can cause visual discomfort.
DAISY-7X1-BW, our newest addition to the DAISY family, is an excellent choice for general office lighting. It provides superb surface uniformity on illuminated objects or surfaces due to the batwing-type beam of the lens. Moreover, the beam widens transversely, enabling increased spacing between luminaire rows while maintaining excellent glare control. The lens guarantees optimal lighting conditions for office workers, with a UGR <19 rating.
Easily adjustable beam angle for perfect field of vision
Small in size, AMY-25-ZOOM is the perfect solution for compact, handheld devices such as headlamps and torches, making it possible to adjust the beam angle on the go.
The already wide selection of AMY family low-profile lenses now gets a 25 mm zoom variant that shares the same design principles with LEDiL’s other zoom optics. No axially moving parts, simple luminaire design, stable efficiency and uniform colour quality throughout the whole zoom range makes LEDiL award-winning zoom technology a true hit.
AMY-25-ZOOM can also be used in small track and downlights allowing the possibility to adjust lighting according to changing retail, architectural, and museum set ups.
Optimised for 3535 LED packages and compatible with up to 7070 LED packages, AMY-25-ZOOM features an infinitely adjustable beam from 20 to 50 degrees.
Compact desk lighting solution for ever changing office environments
Perfect office lighting is easily achieved with freestanding luminaires that freely adapt to changing needs in both new and existing office buildings by simply moving luminaires with desks.

The recommended uplight can be easily integrated in the same luminaire design and together with elegant, human centric lighting helps to support circadian rhythm of office workers. DAISY-MINI-FT-D allows individual control, and the best possible energy savings to ever changing office environments.
Like other DAISY-MINI variants, DAISY-MINI-FT-D is available with black-, white- and metal-coloured shades in both gloss and matt finish.
DAISY-MINI-FT-D is optimised for one and compatible with two 2835 mid-power LED packages or one flat 5050 LED package.
Highlighting the best in architectural design
Architectural lighting is as much art as it is technology. It illuminates architectural landscapes and surfaces, bringing visual architectural design to life.
Wall grazing is often used to reveal and illuminate the design of vertical surfaces such as façades, directing attention to their beauty, while accentuating wall textures and creating stunning effects.
The best results for creating aesthetically pleasing solutions in outdoor architectural applications can be achieved by using designated wall grazing single lenses such as VERONICA-SQ-WG. This lens features outstanding light quality, turns surfaces into the focus of attention, and accentuates textures.
VERONICA-SQ-WG joins other members of the VERONICA family of easily sealable miniature optics for challenging environments and outdoor lighting.
The square shaped VERONICA-SQ-WG includes adhesive tape for easy installation and features a narrow asymmetric spot beam for stunning light quality, delivering the best wall grazing effects. This makes it the ideal lens for outdoor architectural, façade, display, and billboard lighting applications.
LEDiL DAISY helps new lighting design fly at Silvio Pettirossi airport in Asuncion
“We chose LEDiL, for its quality of materials and light efficiency in the optics. Also for having extensive experience in the field and quick response to our demands.”
Lic. Marcelo Mignone — Commercial Manager Iluminación Buenos Aires SA
Project
Silvio Pettirossi International Airport is located in the city of Luque, just a few kilometres from the capital Asuncion in the Republic of Paraguay. The airport is one of the country’s main overseas travel hubs, and as part of a series of general improvements and upgrades to the check-in, departures and billing areas, new lighting solutions were needed, each with their own requirements.This was the challenge facing lighting design and development company Iluminación Buenos Aires SA when they won the contract.
Solution
As the height in the billing area is low the lighting design needed a luminaire with low glare to avoid dazzle, whereas the check-in and boarding areas required superlative lighting levels and brightness control.The designers at Iluminación decided to use model IBA 425 604 x 604 mm luminaires with 50° DAISY lenses. The solution allowed them to replace the original Armstrong ceiling tiles with modular spacings of 2.4 x 2.4 metres.
Benefits
Using DAISY-7X1 optics allowed for the quick installation of all new lighting equipment as well as helping the design achieve its goal of delivering excellent light levels, with very good uniformity and brightness control. Thanks to good brightness control and low UGR DAISY lenses ensure the renovated areas have a high degree of visual comfort.The perfect, fully adjustable desk lighting solution with flexible dark light for ever changing office environments
At its best, office lighting promotes productivity, accuracy, and wellbeing. Perfect office lighting is easily achieved with freestanding luminaires that freely adapt to changing needs in both new and existing office buildings.
Adapting or re-arranging layouts according to ever changing office requirements is effortless with flexible, freestanding lighting fixtures that can simply be moved with the desks. Ideal for fresh modern office environments where light can be directed where it is needed.
DAISY-7X1-FT-D is a forward throw optic that provides uniform lighting, optimal for flexible desk lighting applications. This optic brings flexibility into any office environment and allows individual control, and the best possible energy savings.
Street lighting is mainly about visibility, energy efficiency, and calculating the costs.
One of the main goals when designing the new STRADELLA-8-HV-ME3 was to allow our customers to reach as long pole to pole distances with low TI% (threshold incremental) and high Ul (longitudinal uniformity) as possible. Based on our simulation, the lens can easily achieve all these with +80-meter pole spacing.
The ME3 beam is suitable for installations up to 1:6 pole height/distance ratio which can already result in great savings, but in addition, when compared to our previous STRADELLA-8-HV-ME, the ME3 beam can outperform it with around +20 % efficiency, even with lower poles.
STRADELLA-8-HV-ME3 is made from PMMA and is compatible with 3030 and 3535 size mid- and high-power LEDs.
This year has been unique for the lighting industry. With restrictions, challenges and the lack of live interaction seems to have made it difficult to follow new emerging trends and developments. That is why we decided to summarize the newest developments, innovations, and ways of lighting that we see finally coming true. Here are our top picks for lighting trends in 2022.
Zoom like never before
With the newest zoom innovations on the market, we expect that zoom optics finally have the potential to go big, and transition from niche to mainstream. The main barriers so far have been the high price point, lack of flexibility in product design, and loss of efficiency throughout the zoom range. Today, zoom lenses no longer come with a premium price tag as performance and efficiency are greatly improved.
The bulky lenses of old have made way for alternatives such as AMY-35-ZOOM with no axially moving parts. The lack of axially moving parts means the luminaire itself can be made smaller, is easier to design, and can fit perfectly into existing track light concepts. This new solution gives you the freedom to design track and downlight luminaires for both static lenses and zoom lenses with little design limitations. Thanks to great performance and efficiency, you can even design your track light without static lenses, selling one solution to fit all lighting scenarios on-site.
Furthermore, when retail display concepts are modified, there is no need to change the entire lighting system, as the whole beam range needed for retail lighting comes from one optical system.
Zoom optics enable never-before-seen possibilities thanks to their flexibility and adaptability. Ever changing lighting concepts are always optimally lit, and lighting designs can be adjusted ‘on the go’ even without detailed upfront planning to guarantee perfect lighting whenever and wherever needed. Combine this with a total cost that is no longer astronomical, and the mainstream potential is unmistakable.
Supermarket concepts are changing, and lighting needs to follow
There is an ongoing revolution in the retail industry. However, luminaires and supermarket lighting have changed very little since the times of fluorescent tubes. Apart from efficiency, lifetime updates, and some minor facelifts, supermarket luminaires still seem to be limited to old fluorescent tubes.
While fashion retailers illuminate their products – supermarkets are still highlighting the floor instead of the goods on their shelves. So, the time is ripe to break free from fluorescent tubes and benefit from modern lighting concepts that deliver spectacular and fresh supermarket lighting.
We see module aisle luminaries as the next trend with the potential to go mainstream next year. Accent lighting in retail environments has grown significantly in popularity. This is especially true in supermarket environments that have traditionally been quite functional.
By using fewer and smaller luminaires to deliver more efficient illumination they provide more control in placing luminaires to achieve high quality accent lighting and reduce glare. The result is more light on the products rather than on the aisle floor, making the whole shopping environment more pleasant.
The trend in accent lighting is on the rise and clearly starting to make its way into supermarkets. For a distinctive look, module aisle luminaires are ideal as they easily achieve everything listed below in one package:
Dark Light optics such as DAISY-7X1-ZT25 facilitate the creation of outstanding contrasts for modern retail environments giving centre stage to shelf contents. Outstanding illumination properties, paired with energy efficiency, as well as material and operational cost savings, are arguments that make module aisle luminaires hard to beat.
Luminaires and lighting practices in supermarkets have evolved very little, but consumers have. In order to stay relevant, supermarkets need to introduce new lighting concepts that reflect these changes and highlight goods on their shelves to ensure bright sales long into the future.
Daylight integration – right light at the right time
We must not forget the importance of daylight integration, which we predict will continue to grow by popular demand in 2022. Quality optics enable tunable white and dim to warm solutions as part of human centric lighting for greater well-being and aesthetics. Tunable light has many uses, and awareness has grown, pushing daylight integration into the mainstream.
Imagine a café in broad daylight. For the interior to look fresh and bright and ensure passersby know the café as open, the lighting needs to be optimal, so it stands out from the bright day. Towards the evening the lighting conditions outside change significantly and the desired ambiance inside should shift towards an intimate and welcoming warm ambiance. Optics such as LEDiL’s YASMEEN or DAISY ensure full light control allowing luminaire designers and manufacturers to create the perfect ambiance with the desired level of contrast to achieve and implement their vision.
In order to achieve this mission, lighting has to fit in and conform with the daylight. Fortunately, the price point of dim to warm LEDs and solutions has come down enough significantly, giving dim to warm installations the extra push to go big this year.
Sustainable lighting for a brighter future
The last trend we believe will go mainstream in the near future is more sustainable lighting. This does not just mean decreasing energy consumption (which has been quite a no-brainer so far) – but includes everything from new technologies to overall awareness on how lighting affects our everyday life and environment. Just like any other product, luminaires should be made to last, and make easy maintenance, replaceability, and reusability a priority. Fixture designs that support different applications, customization and connectivity will play a key role.
Awareness from both inside the lighting industry and from the general public about how good lighting can affect our well-being, energy levels, health, mood, and safety, will show us the way to a brighter future.
Sustainability efforts are increasingly guiding the industry and driving our everyday decisions.

Metro Zero One – a hero of sustainable architectural and lighting design
“We started the design for this ground breaking project producing more energy than it uses in 2017, and were therefore looking for a state-of-the-art, efficient optic. We found it in the innovative LINNEA family and for this lighting concept we used the LINNEA-90 optic.”
Murat Cap, Owner, Luxwelt
Project
Metro Zero One is a revolutionary cash and carry located in St. Pölten, Austria. Made entirely of wood, the building is considered a milestone in sustainable construction, producing more energy than it uses. Such a unique and ground breaking building naturally required an equally unique and ground breaking lighting design. With a long history of delivering innovative solutions German lighting design company Luxwelt were ready for the challenge.
Solution
Using LEDiL LINNEA-90 optics Luxwelt designed a series of transparent single row floating luminaires they named ‘3Angle’. The new lighting solution exists in seamless partnership with the building’s architecture. In the large and spacious entrance area Luxwelt installed round 3D-lights that create an abstract pattern generating an individual and welcoming atmosphere which flows naturally into the “3Angle”-concept.
Benefits
Metro Zero One is a milestone on the road to raising environmental awareness in the retail industry. In this flagship project Luxwelt have managed to emphasise the wooden architectural construction of the building with a modern, energy efficient daylight controlled lighting design that integrates perfectly with the building’s photovoltaic system on the roof.Outdoor lighting enhances the beauty of nature in a Riga park
“BOOM reflectors from LEDiL were a great solution for our park luminaires as they allowed us to achieve good colour uniformity and quality for illuminating the trees.”
Maxim Tronyaev, Chairman of the board Ledal Studio
Project
Parks are important open spaces for residents in built up urban areas. They offer a place to relax and unwind from the often hectic speed of daily city life. With the right lighting, city parks can be as beautiful and tranquil at night as they are during the hours of daylight. This was the challenge Ledal Studio faced when they were presented with a project to illuminate Zandarti, a suburban park in the Latvian capital, Riga. The brief was to create a colourful illumination to highlight the natural beauty of the park trees and light up the night.
Solution
Ledal Studio created a lighting design that highlights the natural landscape of the Zandarti park. Using LEDiL BOOM-M reflectors to achieve good colour uniformity they created a lighting effect that beautifully illuminates the trees in a variety of different colours.
Benefits
Thanks to the new lighting design the park is a place of colour and beauty that can be enjoyed by residents and visitors as much at night as during the day.Read more about VIOLETTA optics or contact us for more information.Small silicone lenses for UV-C applications

OSEAN choose STELLA optics for high performance underwater floodlight
“LEDiL is our trusted partner because it has a range of high quality performance optics, but most of all because of the close follow up which is provided in order to help us to reach our objectives.”
Nathan Jallet, Sales engineer, OSEAN
Project
Seawater is a highly corrosive environment for any equipment, let alone lighting. But it is an environment in which products designed by underwater technologies specialist OSEAN thrive. With a 20m+ long beam and 70,000 lm of luminous flow their 400W underwater LED floodlight is currently the most luminous and efficient underwater lighting device in the world. It is also the only underwater floodlight offering a range of wide and narrow beam angle going from 100° to 25° making it perfect for the underwater illumination of bridges and marina enhancement.
Solution
Wanting to offer their customers a wide range of beam angles OSEAN chose the LEDiL STELLA range as it is the only optic adapted to such a powerful and restrictive floodlight. OSEAN currently use 4 different optics from the STELLA family; STELLA-FRESNEL, STELLA-HB, STELLA-HB-WWW and most recently STELLA-RS.Benefits
As light dispersion in water is much more difficult than in the air, other manufacturers could only offer a single beam angle. With the help of LEDiL, OSEAN succeeded in creating and designing a range of wide and narrow beam angles which offer users the ability to adapt their underwater lighting service to a specific project, whether it is for professional needs or for aesthetic purposes.LEDiL’s VIOLET is the first standard silicone optic especially designed for professional UV-C lighting – with two new beams now available.
VIOLET-RS has a narrow 14-degree light distribution and therefore provides a great peak and greater reach than any other VIOLET version. This makes VIOLET-RS the perfect solution for UV-C applications that need to cover long distances such as upper air disinfection.
VIOLET-W has around 60-degree light distribution allowing a wider and efficient spread from close distances.
All VIOLET optics are ingress protected and come with a stainless-steel frame.

LEDiL STRADA optics direct light on Nikis Avenue in Thessaloniki, Greece
“STRADA-IP-2X6 family has a wide variety of optics that met the requirements and offered and ideal solution for this project. Moreover, the IP67 rating provides sufficient protection in by the sea applications.”
Spiros Tsiolakis, R&D manager of AFOI TSIOLAKI OE
Project
Stretching 1.3 kms along the seafront, Nikis Avenue in Thessaloniki, Greece, is the busiest street in the city. Popular with locals and tourists alike the Avenue is a busy thoroughfare full of thriving bars, cafés and restaurants. When the city decided to upgrade the existing street lamps to LED they appointed local company AFOI TSIOLAKI OE to design the new lighting.
Solution
The avenue is used by cars, cyclists and pedestrians so it was important the new lighting considered all users. AFOI TSIOLAKI used DROMOS-X, a versatile retrofit kit suitable for historic lanterns. The system used 3 types of LEDiL STRADA-IP optics; STRADA-IP-2X6-DWC-B, STRADA-IP-2X6-T2-B and STRADA-IP-2X6-VSM. The optics were combined with Techlumen TL12 LED modules equipped with Bridgelux BXEP 5050 LED chips resulting in a total power consumption of just 120W compared to the 250W Sodium Lamps of the old system.
Benefits
In addition to improved lighting in terms of increased luminance, better colour rendering and lower glare, the city saved more than 67% in energy consumption and, thanks to Techlumen’s 8 year warranty, minimized maintenance costs.
Ambiflux uses STRADA optics for smart motorway lighting
“We chose LEDiL because of its high efficiency and great stability of performance over time. This is in alignment with our philosophy of providing excellent efficiency and long lasting lighting solutions.”
Cosmin Fence, CEO of Ambiflux
Project
The newly built A3 motorway on the Hungarian border connects Romania with Western Europe and will eventually stretch all the way to Transylvania. Safety is always an important factor in new road design and lighting plays an important role in ensuring the safety of all road users. Ambiflux were chosen to design a lighting solution powerful enough to ensure road safety but also energy efficient and designed to avoid light pollution.Solution
Ambiflux chose to use 200 Ambiflux Traffic luminaries fitted with LEDiL STRADA-IP-2X6-DWC and a further 100 with LEDiL STRADA-IP-2X6-VSM, to obtain a consistent level of surface illumination. Specifically designed for street lighting, the design of the STRADA optics used ensures shadow free, even light distribution. The lamps are also fitted with a smart module that dims the light when there are no cars on the road to reduce energy consumption and light pollution.
Benefits
Ambiflux Traffic luminaries ensure the motorway is well lit when needed, meeting lighting standards and regulations, whilst providing significant savings when there is no traffic.
Lumitronix use LEDiL VIOLET optics for their new UV-C LED modules
“We decided to work with LEDiL in this application, because the Violet lens system offers the highest performance available on the market for linear UVC applications in these mechanical dimensions.”
Volker Kokula, Head of R&D, Lumitronix
Project
Lumitronix UVC LED modules use the LEDiL UV-C VIOLET optics to offer professional users highly efficient solutions for disinfection and decontamination. The 12 UV-C LEDs used, emit a wavelength of 275 nm enabling immediate sterilization and cleaning of air, liquids and surfaces ensuring bacteria, germs and viruses are reliably removed.
Solution
With their slim and compact design, measuring just 30 cm long and 4cm wide including housing, the modules stand out from the competition. Depending on the application, customers can choose between a ready-to-use system (UVC LED luminaire with Lumitronix control unit for safe operation) or purchase just one UVC LED module, which can be integrated into an existing control concept on the customer side.Clear version for high contrast aisle lighting and diffused version for perfect colour mixing
LEDiL’s highly popular DAISY Dark Light family has grown with the addition of a one-sided asymmetric beam in 7X1 format. As with other members of the DAISY family DAISY-7X1-ZT25 comes with low glare and good cut off preventing light leakage from one aisle to another. This makes this optic an ideal choice for innovative track fixtures that look good and do not cover the whole aisle length like traditional linear luminaires do. The result is a stylish and cost-efficient lighting solution for modern supermarkets.
Compared to traditional linear solutions track modules are up to 10 times smaller, have perfect beam control with minimal glare and are more energy efficient with most of the light directed to the shelves not the floor. Highly efficient, high contrast aisle lighting can easily be achieved with DAISY-7X1-ZT25 track modules creating the perception of brighter goods on shelves with fewer lumens compared to a traditional linear luminaire.
Modern lighting illuminates ancient artefacts in Moscow Paleontological Museum
The Moscow Paleontological Museum is one of the largest natural history museums in the world but with a lighting system dating from the 1980s the exhibits are not always displayed at their best.
The workshop «Light Landing: How to illuminate Dino» arranged by Laboratoria sveta (Laboratory of Light) was held at the Paleontological Museum with the aim of offering the museum administration options for ideological and technical modernization of the existing lighting.
The workshop focused on the complex task of lighting hall 4 which houses exhibits from the Paleozoic and Mesozoic periods.
Workshop participants had an opportunity to work with lighting equipment provided by different companies. In this article the results of experiments conducted with LEDiL products will be highlighted.
The experiment started with an interactive window at the entrance which required a light accent created using ILONA-SS lens with a 15° beam angle. The ILONA family of lenses was developed by LEDiL specifically for accent lighting for museum exhibits. The lenses provide uniform lighting with a beautiful cutoff and, unlike reflectors, have minimum spill light.
The next task was to create optimal lighting for the display cases to highlight the exhibits without the reflections and shadows caused by the current lighting. The team tried linear lenses from the LINDA family, made using extrusion technology. LINDA is easy-to-install and available in different lengths up to 6 m long making it ideal for use in the different sizes of display case. Asymmetric type ZT25 light distribution allows light to be directed at an angle of 25-30° ensuring all light emitted is directed at the objects and no light is lost. Linear optics help avoid sharp shadows and offer a modern alternative to the existing fluorescent lamps.
Lighting was also needed for the massive stone slab located between the display cases. The stone has a rough multicoloured structure with bulges and depressions in which the outlines of fish and amphibian fossils are visible and that the new lighting would highlight. The designers chose LILIAN-ON lens as it is specifically designed for wall grazing, has a 10° × 60° oval beam and works with free-pitch linear PCBs. The result is spectacular with the lighting emphasising the fossils and the structure of the stone.
To illuminate the various skeletons ILONA-SS lenses were used to create a light accent on the head while ILONA-W and WINNIE-O lenses were used to illuminate the body. The lenses provide uniform lighting and work with small COBs. They can be used to form oval light spots and illuminate the long bodies of lizards and rectangular display cases without glass.
The work continued with the lighting of the exhibition dedicated to Scutosaurus which was illuminated too brightly causing unpleasant glare. The team reduced the level of general illumination and installed OLGA lenses to create accent lighting directly focused on the exhibits.
The final task was to illuminate the entire skeleton of a Scutosaurus that has a length of about 3-3.5 m. For uniform illumination of such a large dinosaur, you need a lens with a wide beam angle and good cutoff to minimize the glare. DAHLIA-TL110 originally designed for horticultural lighting and therefore equipped with blue-red LEDs, was tried for this task.
The result of this experiment demonstrates that LEDiL optics cope perfectly with complex lighting tasks.
Candela Co. Ltd score a victory with new lighting for Victory Square in Saint-Petersburg
“We chose LEDiL because of its highest quality, wide product range and great support team”
Pavel Tcvetkov, Deputy Director General
PROJECT
Saint-Petersburg Victory Square is home to the Monument to the Heroic Defenders of Leningrad, commemorating the victims and survivors of the Siege of Leningrad. Erected in 1975 this important memorial, full of historical significance, found itself standing in a world of shadows cast by seriously outdated lighting. Using the latest optics and the lighting distribution they offer, Candela Co. Ltd stepped in to design a bright, modern solution to illuminate Victory Square as it deserves.
SOLUTION
The project uses 7 types of LEDiL lenses: Narrow-angle VERONICA-SQ to illuminate the lighting poles; IRIS to highlight the obelisk; FLARE-MINI and LARISA-O to provide floodlit illumination of the Square’s open spaces and granite structures. The central part of the memorial is illuminated using a combination of SHELLY lenses while LISA2-WWW wide-angle lenses are used to illuminate the bottom of the Broken Ring memorial. Finally, SEANNA ultra-narrow-angle lenses were installed in powerful spotlights to create visible rays converging in the sky above the obelisk.BENEFITS
Thanks to the new modern lighting design Victory Square is properly illuminated once again and glows brighter than ever. The lighting hardware no longer shades the beauty of possibly the most im-portant historical monuments in Saint-Petersburg.

VIOLET is a silicone 12-lens array made from highly resistant UV materials and is also LEDiL’s first optic designed for UV-C applications.
This ingress protected optic is an excellent solution in surface, air and water UV disinfection applications as well as for prevention of plant disease and insect infestation.
The lens array is made from a special silicone grade having high UV transmittance and is held in place by a sturdy stainless-steel frame. VIOLET can be used with up to 4 LED clusters* under each optical element allowing a flexible output range. It is compatible with UV LEDs from Seoul Viosys and Nichia.
VIOLET enables the creation of cost-efficient UV solutions using minimal amount of UV LEDs and requiring only half the dosage time compared to traditional quartz glass. This can be seen in action from the application example where we have compared VIOLET to a traditional quartz glass solution.
* Depends on LED
Introduction to UV-C lighting
Ultraviolet light is a range of wavelengths just below the visible light range. It is divided into three different bands, with UV-C starting from 200 nm and going all the way up to 280 nm. As the DNA and RNA of most bacteria and viruses are most sensitive to radiation between 260−270 nm, (germicidal effectiveness goes up to 310 nm) UV-C light is capable of killing them, acting as a contactless, chemical-free disinfectant. Although it is not always necessary to kill all pathogens, UV-C light can be used to simply prevent them from replicating. This achieves the same germicidal effectiveness at significantly lower levels of UV exposure, which is good for materials and reduces luminaire costs, etc. HEALTH WARNING: UV-C is a high energy form of radiation, exposure to which is a possible health risk to humans and can also harm some materials. High dosages of UV-C can lead to serious burns, skin cancer etc. Very short UV wavelengths also produce ozone and can be considered a health risk at higher concentrations. As UV-C light is completely invisible to the human eye, it is good practice to incorporate some visible light LEDs such as blue to indicate your light source is turned on.Find all our products for UV-C lighting

“We chose to work with LEDiL because of the very competent technical support from their representatives and because LEDiL optics give better results.”
Roman Prokofiev, Manager, Tegas Electric
PROJECT
Lighting a basketball court isn’t as straightforward as it might sound. Basketball itself is often considered an art, but achieving even illumination over a basketball court is more about science. When Tegas Electric were asked to provide the lighting for the Belorechensk sports school in Krasnodar, Russia they applied the science of light to the project.SOLUTION
Tegas Electric chose to use a total of 12 of their Tegas 400 W lamps fitted with a variety of LEDiL optics. They located 3 lamps each in the end zones fitted with STRADELLA-8-HB-S optics and sited 2 m from the switchboard, each with a 10-degree tilt. A further 6 lamps with a 50/50 combination of STRADELLA-8-HB-M and STRADELLA-8-HB-S optics were installed to illuminate the centre of the court.BENEFITS
In addition to a perfectly illuminated basketball court the school authorities gained a solution that is 45 % cheaper than any competitor offering and energy savings of 1.6 Kw/h.Triton, light up your shelves with innovative retail lighting

The completion of the 5000 m2 extension to the Aprilia 2 shopping centre in Aprilia, Italy, created space for eleven more commercial units and nine new retail and catering zones. The main gallery also gained an extra 14 metres in width and 5 metres in height. Rome based ILM Lighting used over 300 of their ILM Iride recessed luminaries and over 700 metres ILM BSD series strip LEDs to create a modern, sophisticated lighting environment to enhance the overall customer retail experience.SOLUTION
ILM used their Iride series of recessed and surface-mounted luminaires. Thanks to Iride’s high luminous flux and low power consumption, ILM were able to reduce the number of luminaires initially requested by the shopping centre designers, resulting in a much easier installation process.BENEFITS
As they are recessed, Iride guarantees high visual comfort and glare protection. One of the reasons for Iride’s incredible luminous efficiency is the use of LEDiL LENA reflectors with LENA-STD-BASE2-VERO13-18 basepart. Their variety of opening angles including symmetrical and asymmetrical and cd/klm ratio, guarantee excellent distribution of the emitted luminous flux in relation to the intensity of the source LED used. The end result is a clean design ensuring versatile lighting while maintaining utmost respect for the aesthetic value of the spaces.RETAIL LIGHTING OUT OF THE BOX FOR SPORT BOX
“We chose LEDiL as they offer high quality products that deliver the performance promised. “
Filip Shkembov, CEO, IKIS Light
PROJECT
Sporting goods retailer Sport Box from Bulgaria wanted to upgrade their retail lighting to improve the overall customer experience and enhance their brand image. They invited IKIS Light to come up with a solution that would create a light, bright interior that highlights the product offering and consolidates the Sport Box brand image.SOLUTION
IKIS chose to use FLORENCE-Z90 optics as they deliver market leading colour uniformity in an aesthetically sleek design; perfect for a high end sports retail environment.BENEFITS
The new system provide a perfect lighting solution meeting the design criteria of providing an improved shopping experience through highlighting the products for sale and consolodating the Sport Box brand image.- Comparison of two linear aisle lighting concepts in supermarkets
- The sufficient lighting levels on floor is around 300 to 500 lx, and 600 to 1000 lx on the vertical surfaces where products are displayed
EXAMPLE #1 – SYMMETRICAL LIGHT DISTRIBUTION
In this aisle lighting concept the luminaires have symmetrical light distribution and are located in the middle of an aisle, ensuring evenly and efficiently distributed light to whole area. To get sufficient lighting levels on the shelves usually leads to excess lighting on the floor. Meaning less energy savings and potentially more glare. Go to F13853_FLORENCE-Z90 product card Go to F16261_FLORENCE-Z90-B product cardEXAMPLE #2 – ASYMMETRICAL LIGHT DISTRIBUTION
With asymmetric light distribution the vertical lux levels on the shelves are about double (or at least the same) compared to the floor. When you fulfill the 300 lx level on the floor, you will typically have 600 to 750 lx on the shelves. This approach highlights the products moderately with potential energy efficiency savings and glare reduction. Go to F16858_LINDA-Z2T25 product cardNotice that huge accents are not always preferred or typically recommended, as supermarkets must please a wide range of different people.

“We chose LEDiL as our preferred partner for this project as they offer a combination of ease of manufacturing and an excellent price point. The FLORENCE optic we chose also has the wide beam angle, control and colour quality required.”
Cornel Neethling — LLSA
PROJECT
They say, ‘we are what we eat’, but more importantly we need to ‘know what we eat’. This isn’t a problem as long as we can see what we want to eat. We have evolved from being hunter gatherers in the wild and today most of us do our hunting and gathering in supermarkets. But just as good light was necessary to hunt food in the wild, so it is today in supermarkets. Good supermarket lighting shows food at its best, fresh, colourful and delicious; the people at Spar in South Africa know this very well. They commissioned leading LED design and manufacturing specialist LLSA to come up with a supermarket lighting solution they could roll out across their stores.
SOLUTION
Drawing on over 12 years of experience of LED specific design and manufacturing LLSA got cracking. The new lighting solution had to meet several criteria: improved target zone efficiency for the customer, reduced energy and better colour quality. LLSA chose to use LEDiL’s FLORENCE-1R-Z2T25 optics for their new luminaire as it is a cost-effective lens with the required wide angle and excellent beam control.
BENEFITS
The new lighting solution more than meets the original project specifications. Target zone efficiency is excellent with packaged products and fresh foods illuminated at the correct colour temperatures to show them at their freshest and best. The new LED lighting is far more efficient resulting in a drop in energy costs too.

“We chose LEDiL as our optic supplier because this company provides best in class optics with ideal characteristics for growing plants. After all, the floral business grows best with the best solutions.”
M.Sc.Eng. Maciej Kalinowski, LED Technical Support, Cezos
Plants have been grown under artificial lighting conditions for decades but only recently with LED as the light source. LEDs save energy and can boost different growth phases for different species at different stages of their development. LED horticultural lighting can also be used to alter not only plant growth, but also their taste and appearance, by adjusting the spectral content and the intensity of the light over time. But it has been a challenge to create LED luminaires for horticultural lighting with good enough uniformity and control of the light spectrum to create optimal growing conditions.
Cezos, from Gdynia in Poland, was tasked with developing an engineering kit to gather data and research best practice when combining a professional horticulture luminaire with OSRAM horticulture LEDs and LEDiL’s brand new horticultural optic DAHLIA. LEDs can be fully controlled, so the challenge lies in matching the light spectrum for specific plants by choosing the right LEDs, optimizing thermal design for high power LEDs and directing the light uniformly where it is needed with efficient and precise optics.
CEZOS PRESENTS THE GROWEMITY 120 WITH LEDiL’s DAHLIA OPTICS
Cezos has cracked the nut with its IP65 rated light engine kit optimized for greenhouse top lighting and domestic cultivation that leverages the high energy efficiency of LEDs to provide a cost efficient horticultural growing solution. It allows for multiple LED configurations and is designed to accelerate plant growth and increase harvest.The four channels of the high thermal performance board can be individually adjusted to control intensity and light colour to suit the diverse needs and growth stages of the plant.
To be effective the GrowEmity 120 required an optical solution to control the light and direct it for maximum effect. Cezos chose to use LEDiL’s new optic DAHLIA with IP65 gasket. DAHLIA provides uniform light over a large area with its batwing type beam and fits 120 LEDs under one lens array allowing full control of the full light spectrum with various LED channels.
The GrowEmity 120 has wide LED compatibility and has been tested with a combination of Oslon Square GH CSSRM2.24, SSL – GH CSxPM1.24 and GD CSxPM1.24 as well as LUW CQAR and GF DASPA2.24 to achieve the required light spectrum variations.
The key to the success of the GrowEmity 120 is efficacy and uniformity together with the possibility to customize it for almost any growing condition. The GrowEmity 120 has been tested in laboratory conditions and the feedback from scientists has been very positive.

DAHLIA
WELCOME TO A WHOLE NEW WORLD OF OPPORTUNITY IN HORTICULTURAL GROWTH
DAHLIA is LEDiL’s latest optic for the horticultural industry. Designed specifically for greenhouse top lighting, DAHLIA is a highly efficient compact linear platform fitting 120 LEDs with up to IP67 ingress protection. The batwing type beam provides extremely uniform lighting in the growth area resulting in shorter growing cycles and even growth of plants, flowers and salad crops.
DAHLIA enables you to fully control the light spectrum and intensity to meet the growth phases of individual plants with the support of 1-4 channels and a varying number of LEDs per channel. As DAHLIA fits 120 LEDs, a number divisible by 4, 3 and 2 it covers all the bases regardless of the number of channels you might need. So if you want to get your flowers blooming just turn up the blue light; or zap them with a bit of extra purple light to speed up growth without flowering.
Naturally, because we’re talking LED, DAHLIA helps reduce your luminaire bill of material by focusing the light energy on the plants using less power and less luminaires compared to traditional solutions.

HOW GERMAN LIGHTING SPECIALIST LTS HELPED LEIA SHINE
All of you who visited us at this year’s Light+Building in Frankfurt will remember we had some pretty amazing products on show. You may also remember one of the stars of our stand was LEIA, our newly developed lens providing a compact ultra-narrow beam for wall-grazing and decorative lighting.To many, a lens is a lens is a lens, until of course it forms part of a complete luminaire. As it is such a unique innovation for the architectural and lighting design market, we really wanted to show LEIA in action. To highlight how light can be so right from the people who make ‘Light that is Right’, so to speak.
So we reached out to LTS Licht & Leuchten GmbH based in Tettnang, Germany. LTS are a member of the Swedish Fagerhult Group and produce extremely innovative, high quality luminaires and lighting solutions primarily for retail, hospitality and office environments. But they are also able to make custom solutions, which was what we were looking for.
More than happy to help, LTS designed and manufactured a cylindrical luminaire for direct wall mounting. The design needed to reflect the narrow beam LEIA can produce and LTS managed to come up with something just 50 mm in diameter.
Now slim and elegant is all very well, but the heat generated by LEDs requires cooling, and in a design so narrow, it just wasn’t possible to use a conventional cooler. So LTS fabricated the housing from high-grade aluminium, which acts as a cooler for the luminaire; very clever, just like LEIA.
Originally designed as a custom solution for LEDiL, LTS have been so impressed with the end result they now intend adding this very special luminaire to their existing portfolio, and it should be available to their customers very soon. So if you are looking for a narrow beam wall-grazing or decorative lighting solution, you know where to call.
