Manufacturer of LED (light emitting diode) lighting products, 7042 Evolucia, has launched its next generation of LED replacement roadway luminaires.  They claim the new Evolucia G2 aimed optics LED Cobra Head roadway luminaires offer substantially increased light efficacy when compared to traditional lighting technologies such as high intensity discharge (HID).

"The G2 Evolucia Aimed Optics Cobra Head roadway luminaire packages high quality illumination, long life and extraordinary energy efficiency, a breakthrough performance, at up to 100 lumens per watt, up to 66 per cent energy savings and a lifetime of over 10 years allowing us to aggressively and quickly fulfill a growing market demand for brighter, safer, low maintenance LED lighting that will change the way we light roadways, highways and streets worldwide," said Mel Interiano, Evolucia CEO.

"Additionally, our new warranty underscores our confidence in the technical superiority of our product development, manufacturing and quality control. Our G2 Cobra Head roadway luminaires are built using only the highest quality and best performing LEDs and drivers - allowing us to stand behind these and future products with an industry-leading standard material and parts ten year warranty."

The new Evolucia G2 line of LED Cobra Head fixtures is available in 100 watt, 150 watt, 200 watt and 400 watt HID replacement configurations with energy savings ranging from 57 per cent to 66 per cent depending on the input wattages.  The product family is available in 4000K and 5000K colour temperatures and exhibits a CRI of greater than 70.   

All Evolucia LED Cobra Head products operate with aimed optics technology. "Because the light stays only where it is needed, light glare and spillage that negatively impact neighbouring buildings or adjacent parcels of land do not occur," said Woody Smith, chief technical officer of Evolucia. "Wildlife areas that are near streets or highways remain in the dark preserving the natural habitat and communities can reclaim starry nights as Evolucia aimed optics prevent light from polluting the dark sky."

The G2 Cobra Head LED luminaire family has been redesigned making the system lighter in weight and easy to access.  A four-bolt mounting system allows the fixture to be installed by one person, saving both time and maintenance costs.

The company claims the new Evolucia Cobra Head LED luminaires has a ten year life, and also delivers financial savings by offsetting maintenance costs.  A decrease in road crews, less traffic interruptions and fewer traffic accidents and fatalities associated with maintenance operations not only positively impact the bottom line but also help create a safer transportation network for work crews and travellers alike.
