Very much in keeping with SETGA’s DNA, Quantum’s subtle lines combine an innovative mix of curved and straight forms that transform the irregularities of nature into aesthetic fluidity and continuity. This exercise in biomimetic design brings harmony and dynamism to the whole, while bestowing a compact and sober appearance on the element modularly structured into two separate bodies: the optoelectronic LED module pressurized with APS® argon gas and a rear high capacity airlock conceived to house a wide variety of auxiliary electronic equipment. In Quantum, the technological reliability of the APS® system proven over the last eight years is as important as the accessibility and agility of future maintenance processes. The LED module extraction time is therefore reduced by 90%, from 30 to 3 minutes, and only involves acting on two anchors.

The rear compartment of the structure is composed of an EN AC44100 injected aluminium body. The material is free of copper alloy, thereby increasing resistance to corrosion compared to most existing market injections. In highly aggressive environments, optional anodizing substantially extends the life cycle of the body. The upper body of the optoelectronic module consists of anodized AL 5754 aluminium, which acts as a direct heat dissipation mechanism and is noted for high resistance to corrosion. An R43 closure of tempered glass is applied to the lower surface. Structural strength and minimal exposure of the side surface along the entire luminaire enable Quantum to withstand winds of 180 km/h, exceeding the resistance of 150 N/m2 established by the standard.

The sustainable design strategy of the Quantum series is part of SETGA’s upgrade program and responds to a circular public infrastructure management model, whereby the life cycle of mechanical components exceeds the obsolescence curve of LED technology. When the future upgrade of the optical module becomes profitable through the evolution of efficiency, the rear body will remain in the public space while SETGA updates the optoelectronic module in optimal and controlled atmospheric conditions, ensuring immediate replacement. 100% natural glass makes this material fully recyclable, thereby minimizing the environmental impact of its transformation process. Finally, with the support the first European glass processing line powered by solar technology, the carbon footprint of this series has been substantially reduced.
