SQUARE
PresentationMIMETIC GEOMETRY
Lighting design is transformed into urban edge when the perception of every detail reinforces the character of the environment without altering its essence. The soft symmetrical lines of the Square series enable the luminaire to blend in with the space, bestowing slenderness and harmony on the whole.
ORIGIN AND EVOLUTION
The Square series is the culmination of the path first begun by the Tablet family of luminaires. This geometric exercise reveals the essence of avant-garde design in its most fundamental form, creating infinite horizons of aesthetic balance. Many cities have already been exposed to the Square’s ability to maximize thermal conductivity and neutralize the corrosive effects of moisture in the LED optical module. However, its full potential still remains to be explored. Shared research will therefore continue to be the main source of inspiration on this journey towards the soul of each urban space.
MATERIALS AND STRUCTURE
The upper body Square luminaire consists of a machined and anodized aluminium chassis, which serves as a direct mechanism for heat dissipation, as well as a structural element known for high corrosion resistance. The underside of the luminaire is characterized by the application of a tempered glass cover onto which a city logo can be vitrified. Both upper and lower elements are encased in an anodized aluminium AL6063-T5 frame.
The development of an optical system with HTS® technology has led to an 8% increase in ultimate luminaire efficacy, reducing reflection losses by 55%, compared to market standards that apply a secondary lens system covered with a tempered glass closure.
SUSTAINABLE DESIGN
The design strategy of the Square series is characterized by the combination of highly sustainable materials. Compared to injected aluminium, high purity aluminium Al 5754 facilitates reuse by other industries in the future. The 100% glass natural origin makes this material fully recyclable and minimizes the environmental impact of its transformation process.
The support of the first European glass processing line powered by solar technology has substantially reduced the carbon footprint of this series. Finally, after the latest revision of the ISO 14001, and implementation of a sustainability master plan, SETGA has driven the design of a long-term recycling system for each component in the Lined series.
Technical keys
With the Argon Pressurised System (APS)® Square series’ optical and electronic components are encapsulated in a pressurised atmosphere of argon gas. A watertightness level of IP68 is ensured, making the system resistant to complete and continuous immersion far beyond the requirements of any regulation.
The inert atmosphere in the optical-electronic module guards against condensation, moisture and salinity intrusion, thereby preventing an accelerated ageing process of the system’s sensitive components. This protective shield is essential in areas where air salinity is a critical lifetime factor for any optical and electronic component.
The ability of this system to preserve the lifetime, efficacy and chromatic quality of the luminaire reduces Up toal Cost of Ownership (TOC) and maintains high demanding visual comfort standards:
The Square luminaire is based on the principle of direct thermal dissipation between the LED PCB, the compact aluminium chassis and the exterior. The luminaire body comprises a continuous heat pipe of anodized aluminium AL-5754, which achieves thermal conductivity levels of 160 W/metre Kelvin, compared to 130 W/metre Kelvin of aluminium injection. The low porosity of anodized aluminium plus a thermal pad over the contact surface between the PCB and the dissipation body significantly reduce the diode’s junction temperature.
The redefined composition of the optical system delivers a 55% reduction in reflection levels, a significant drop when compared with market standards that apply a secondary lens scheme and a tempered glass cover. HTS technology enables optical performance levels similar to those obtained with a direct lens system, increasing the overall efficacy of the luminaire (lm/W) by 8%.

Dimensions and installation
Square with its 31 mm thickness is another prominent member of the ultra-compact family of SETGA luminaires. Its square design with rounded corners follows the company’s philosophy with a simple and friendly design of 400 mm side.
The anchoring system with 4 bolts is designed to facilitate its anchoring to plates allowing some clearance in the position of the anchoring holes.
The design is also optimized to fit perfectly with our range of compatible columns so that both merges perfectly. The specific arm of some of the compatible columns and arms allows a pitch regulation from 15 ° to ascending frontal.
Photometry
Standard Photometries. The SETGA optical department can study additional configurations adapted to each project.
