Safe Operating Temperatures in any Environment
Effective thermal management of LEDs is essential when designing and developing LED systems . To prolong their lifetime and improve performance , LEDs must have acceptable temperatures under all drive and operating conditions . Inadequate thermal management leads to color shift and faster lumen depreciation of the LED , and reduced operating life of the driver .
Heatsinking is often not enough to control temperatures . Active thermal management methods have been developed by Lumascape engineers to ensure a long service life with consistent system performance . Among recent advancements in system design is Lumascape ’ s CoolDrive TM technology . CoolDrive TM provides 2-stage thermal sensing for both light engine and driver . Any over-temperature condition will override the dimming signal to maintain temperatures at safe levels whilst staying lit . CoolDrive TM technology enhances safety and luminaire longevity .
The luminaire is designed to operate at temperatures up to 50 ° C ( ambient ) before CoolDrive TM will engage the thermal management override .

Visual Comfort Technology
Rapid technological advancements and impressive energy savings from LED light sources have dramatically increased the rate of LED adoption across the globe . And , as quickly as LED implementation has grown , so too have the complaints of glare caused by LEDs , especially in outdoor spaces .
As a manufacturer , it is not enough to produce luminaires that have the greatest efficacy , achieving higher lumens per watt . A more holistic approach is required as we once again focus on lighting quality with better optical design and precision engineering .
We know that the primary source of glare is caused by the high contrast ratio between the LED lens and the surrounding surface area . This understanding led us to develop an advanced visual comfort technology called EasyGlow TM , that reduces contrast while still achieving maximum light output .
A patented frosted array surrounds the LED lenses and creates a luminous plane by capturing the small amount of escaping light to create a backlit effect and thereby reduces the contrast between the light source and the surrounding surface area . By reducing the contrast ratio , the perception of glare is dramatically reduced .
The combination of powerful digital light , premium optics and excellent glare control delivers best-in class performance . By helping to mitigate glare , EasyGlow TM improves visual comfort and visibility , making outdoor spaces safer and more inviting .
