PresentationPRECISION BEYOND EFFICIENCY
Efficiency, precision and optical innovation in order to respond to complex light challenges, transforming public infrastructures where inadequacy of light levels and glare pose a safety risk factor.
ORIGIN AND EVOLUTION
TNL represents the evolution of an elementary design line characterized by slenderness, visual cleanliness and dynamism. Originally designed for technical tunnel lighting, the multi-configurable nature of this series allows its integration into a wide range of urban infrastructures. In all of them, the maximization of visual comfort is the result of combining three of ours technologies: LLD® – Low Luminous Density, MRLS® – Micro refractive light surface – (derived from an opal treatment on glass), and the screen printing system discontinuous based on the Leaving guard® patent – Anti-glaring system. Their union eliminates any sensation of disturbing glare, increasing well-being and safety.
STRUCTURE AND MATERIALS
The upper body of the TNL projector is formed by a machined and anodized AL6063-T6 aluminum chassis that acts as a direct mechanism of heat dissipation and structural element, while being noted for its high corrosion resistance.
The lower surface of the luminaire is characterized by the application of a vitrified and optionally opal tempered glass closure. The modular nature of the system allows continuous serial configurations with independent luminaires every 1.47 meters. Finally, opto-electronic LED modules are immersed in a pressurized atmosphere of argon gas based on Argon Pressurised System APS® technology.
SUSTAINABLE DESIGN
The design strategy inherent in the TNL series is characterized by the combination of highly sustainable materials. Compared to injected aluminum, the high purity of AL6063-T6 aluminum facilitates its reuse by other industries in the future.
The 100% natural origin of the glass makes this material fully recyclable and minimizes the environmental impact of its transformation process.
Having the first European glass transformation line powered by solar technology, the carbon footprint of this series has undergone substantial reductions.
Technical keys
With the Argon Pressurised System (APS)® TNL 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 air salinity areas. The ability of this system to preserve the lifetime, efficacy and chromatic quality of the luminaire reduces Total Cost of Ownership (TOC) and maintains high demanding visual comfort standards:
The TNL 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 AL6063-T6 anodized aluminium, which achieves thermal conductivity levels of 200 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 reduces the diode’s junction temperature.
LLD technology improves the glare index (GR) without the need for optical systems characterized by reflection or refraction processes whose efficiency levels (lm/W) experience significant losses. The TNL distributes low power LED diodes below 1 W along the optical module, increasing the light emitting surface size to reduce luminous density from all solid angles of observation.
