32 LET THE TOOL-LESS REVOLUTION BEGIN The first LED Street Lighting Luminaire to offer true tool-less replaceability LED Roadway Lighting Ltd. (LRL) is a Canadian-headquartered manufacturer of LED-based street and area lighting and control systems. Our customers include local authorities, utilities and commercial/industrial users on five continents. Our industry-leading NXTTM and Satellite™ Series luminaires have been designed for reliability, energy efficiency, and performance. LRL entered the Australian market in 2010 and currently has more than 30 installations in six states and two territories. The response from the market has been overwhelming. With a local sales presence, and extensive manufacturing and technical support, clients are assured of reliable service, both before and after the sale. We work with clients at the design stage, and assist with preparation of lighting calculation layouts. Our service also includes providing detailed return on investment, energy and maintenance savings, and greenhouse gas reduction reports. Based on the demand for our technology, LRL is expanding its presence in Australia, an environment which is an ideal fit for our products. With local authority, utility and commercial/ industrial clients in more than 35 countries, LRL’s technology has been proven in a variety of climates and conditions. Public lighting infrastructure must be durable and reliable, while meeting or exceeding local lighting requirements. LRL’s design includes attention to component-level detail, and in particular to power supply design, which is typically the most crucial performance aspect in an LED luminaire. Our in-house designed and manufactured power supplies use high-reliability components. The end result is a robust solution that delivers the lowest total life cycle costs, and a 20 year design life. LRL recently launched its award-winning NXTTM series luminaires. The NXT-S was selected for inclusion in the 2013 Illuminating Engineering Society (IES) Progress report. IES recognised the “unique and significant advancement to the art and science of lighting” embodied in our new NXT luminaire. The NXT-S luminaire was submitted for consideration by the IES Progress Committee for introducing the following novel developments in the field of outdoor lighting: • First to offer a tool-less, fieldreplaceable LED light engine which allows for upgrading of LEDs and fieldswapping of optics; • First to offer a tool-less, fieldreplaceable surge module; • Tool-less, replaceable driver: Platemounted driver with quick disconnects simplifies field replacement and minimizes waste; and, • Optional built-in sensor allows LED depreciation to be measured and reported over the service life of the luminaire (requires Lumen IQ monitoring/control system). The NXT™ series is designed for performance, reliability, and upgradeability. Easily removable components allow for future upgrades as technology evolves, prolonging the useful life of lighting infrastructure, and substantially reducing total cost of ownership. The NXT is available in two sizes, which can replace existing 70-250 watt high pressure sodium, metal halide or mercury vapor technology. NXT is available with standard horizontal mounting, or with a post-top mounting option. Our NXTTM and Satellite™ Series luminaires are also ideal for grid-tied or grid independent solar installations, and Govlink Issue 2 2013 we have completed installations of this nature in a variety of locations including Canada, Jamaica, and Australia.
