TridonicAtco, the lighting architect for facades and outdoors

Architecture cries out for a "light touch". The white and coloured LED solutions from TridonicAtco are highly reliable even in harsh outdoor conditions and offer the winning combination of exceptional efficiency and compact dimensions.

Coloured powerLED EOS products are most effective in interplay with architecture. In this highly demanding sector, advantages such as a wide colour spectrum, robustness and zero maintenance are doubly important. For these and other economic reasons, powerLED EOS units are being used more and more as replacements for old-fashioned technologies such as neon and fluorescent lamps.

The reasons why powerLED EOS products from TridonicAtco are used outdoors are obvious. These LEDs and LED modules are so versatile that they open up an almost infinite number of options and effects. We have summarised the most important benefits for you here:

• Simple and precise control of the LEDs.
• No start-up problems. No switch-on delay.
• No problems with low ambient temperatures - quite the opposite: low temperatures increase the efficiency of the LEDs.
• Once installed, no further maintenance required.
• The long life of the LEDs means that the investment is soon amortised.

Perfect solution for facades
powerLED EOS from TridonicAtco is the number one choice for illuminating facades. Edges and lines can be elegantly highlighted, and RGB colour mixes give facades or even internal walls a dynamic quality all of their own.

A winning team
TridonicAtco can offer pre-assembled luminaire elements. powerLED EOS P211-2 RGB with O211 lenses and the DALI RGB converter makes for a winning team that has had enormous success throughout the world.

Other outdoor applications
The small design of the powerLED EOS is ideal for a large number of other outdoor lighting applications. The modules can be used in the smallest of cross-sections, such as in handrails or railings on walkways, bridges, steps or staircases.

Valuable benefits
Low ambient temperatures outdoors increase the efficiency of the LEDs. The "secret" here is the successful chip-on-board (COB) technology. The LED semiconductor element without packaging is mounted on an electrically insulating, thermally conductive carrier element and encapsulated. This calls for exceptional expertise in fabrication, which is richly rewarded with extremely high energy efficiency. This technology also saves space and opens up completely new applications - an extremely welcome advantage for designers, planners and architects.

An example
A minimum illuminance of 150 lx is needed on outdoor steps. This is easily achieved with powerLED EOS - ideally in combination with a small lens for a 40° beam angle, for example the powerLED EOS P211-2 with integrated conical lens. In actual practice a combination of five modules with the compact C350 power supply has been highly successful, even for long distances.
