SAFETY FIRST

The main objective of outdoor lighting is to responsibly provide the urban landscape with a suitable environment for the benefit of society, allowing as many people as possible to enjoy these spaces safely and comfortably. Our white light provides security and communicates an atmosphere of well-being, while protecting available resources.

Our outdoor lighting solutions are not only the perfect solution for public lighting, but are also used next to buildings, as well as in green spaces and open areas.

Safety-focused lighting

The main focus of outdoor lighting is on people, ensuring the necessary safety conditions so that they can move around and enjoy the different types of outdoor spaces, whether for work, sports or simply leisure activities.

These objectives must be achieved without in any way compromising the balance of the different existing ecosystems, minimising environmental impact. In this sense, issues such as light pollution and the colour of the light used play a central role in the design of a solution of this nature.

The most important factors in a project of this type are the amount of light provided, uniformity, colour rendering, colour temperature and glare. The relative importance of each depends on the final application, namely whether it is a motorway, an intersection, a residential area or simply a pedestrian zone.

CCT - Correlated Colour Temperature (Tcp)

The colour of the light used outdoors is the key factor that has a direct impact on people's safety, whether in road areas, pedestrian zones or both. Indeed, the higher the colour temperature used, the greater the visual acuity and therefore the ability of people to distinguish objects and people in motion. What's more, it's also easier to recognise faces, an important issue for particularly sensitive areas in terms of personal safety.

However, these types of colour temperatures are not the most suitable in terms of environmental impact, especially in protected areas. In these cases, light with no blue component or where this is reduced to a maximum should be used, usually meaning colour temperatures below 2200 K.

The colour temperature used will depend on the combination of the various factors mentioned, among others, so it will be necessary to study each lighting project individually. The values normally oscillate between 1800 K and 5000 K.

CRI - Colour Rendering Index (Ra)

Restoring the colours of the different elements in an outdoor space is not a central issue in a lighting project, except in cases where the perception of these colours is crucial for some reason. In fact, using the right shade has a much greater influence on the final result you want to achieve.

This means that the best compromise is usually to use colour rendering levels above 70. When necessary, this value can rise to 80.

TI - Threshold Increment

IT is one of the determining factors for the safety of pedestrians and drivers, especially on busy roads with more critical visibility conditions. High levels of glare affect the ability to perceive, as well as causing people enormous visual discomfort and, consequently, malaise, which can be disabling and lead to accidents and the inability to perform even the simplest tasks correctly.

For applications of this type, the glare value should be below 20, preferably 15.

Our solutions

Our company offers road and public lighting solutions and services with a focus on people's safety.

Our lighting systems are designed to provide consistently excellent visibility on roads, at junctions and in urban areas, helping to prevent accidents and improve safety for drivers and pedestrians. All of this is carried out in scrupulous compliance with the applicable standards and recommendations. We use high-efficiency LED technology that guarantees long-lasting and economical lighting, even in adverse conditions.
