Adding to its range of outdoor LED solutions, GE Lighting reveals the Spinella Low Watt Roadway fixture, providing local and highways authorities with an intelligent and cost effective lighting solution for the modern city and highway.

Designed to balance the technical needs of a sophisticated LED system with the functional demands of a reliable outdoor fixture, the Spinella Low Watt Roadway fixture provides a platform for controls and intelligence with a feasible 70 per cent energy saving, inside a slender, weather-proof housing.

The housing is so robust that it achieves an IK09 rating, capable of withstanding an impact energy of 10 joules. With a range of output levels, from 19 up to 91 watts, and advanced optical reflector technology for precise illumination, the new fixture is ideal for a variety of street and roadway applications.

The advanced ability to control the direction and level of illumination means that designers can minimise light loss and reduce nuisance light pollution to nearby residents or wildlife. The high photometric performance and unique reflective optical design also minimises glare while improving horizontal and vertical uniformity. In addition to its slender styling, the Spinella Low Watt Roadway fixture benefits from IP66 protection for the optical and electrical compartment, tool-less entry and clip-in gear tray with pre-cabling options, allowing for easy installation and on going maintenance.

The Spinella Low Watt Roadway fixture is designed to accommodate a variety of intelligent devices and control systems, including compatibility with GE Lighting’s LightGridTM technology, DALI, 0-10V, step dimming, astro-dimming and photocell. This variety of options enables customers to use the fixture in the most efficient way, allowing analytic data to be recorded and responsive operation to be employed.

With a rated service life of 50,000 hours at L90, the maintenance requirements of the Spinella Low Watt Roadway fixture are much lower than traditional streetlight solutions. Like all of GE outdoor luminaires and technologies, this new product is based on rigorous testing, and can be offered as part of an end-to-end lighting solution including service and financing.

Mike Barrett, General Manager, Product Management for GE Lighting EMEA commented: “The Spinella Low Watt Roadway fixture is the latest addition to our outdoor range of lighting solutions and is perfectly suited to modern city and highway applications. The Spinella Low Watt Roadway fixture brings the best of LED technology and combines it with supreme reliability, long service life, intelligent control compatibility and contemporary style.”
