Taiwan Opto Tech has unveiled its new Smart Street Lights using Nichia LEDs. The company says the new LED street lights have four main functions which include a modulized design, a unique cooling technology, a new optical design, and an excellent power module. The fixture is streamlined and ultra-thin, with a depth of only 80mm and will be expected to meet the global market demand. The company currently plans to mass-produce 55W and 105W street lights that can be used with either solar or AC power.

Opto Tech says that it considers practicability as the highest priority. Therefore, the internal structure is designed with a patented module with a hinge and E-type ring buckle, which means its maintenance or replacement can be performed by one person. The company describes its product as a “breathing street light” due to its “unique” cooling technology. The heat generated by the optical module is quickly and effectively removed via a copper heat pipe connected to an aluminum heat sink positioned below ventilation holes in the bottom cover.

The optical design meets international standards after going through precise optical testing, with a perfect butterfly-shaped photometric curve that was designed with driving safety in mind. The product’s photometric curve produces better illumination and achieves a more comfortable lighting effect than other competitors, claims the company. Meanwhile, the power module has 90% and above conversion efficiency and its constant current output can last LED lifetime over the long-term.

The 105 W street light has a color temperature of 5200 K and a color rendering index (Ra) of 70. The power factor is given as 0.912-0.989, and the efficiency of the power supply is 95%. The total lumen output with a clear cover is given as 8640 lm.

Currently, the products have passed the testing and verification standards and new patents have been applied for in the USA, China, and Taiwan. Those that have already inquired about and ordered this product include government agencies and businesses from various countries, says Opto Tech.
