We have developed 2 photometric engine concepts to cover all types of road and urban lighting.
Oriento®/ OrientoFlex® - a photometric system that maximises LED performance
Oriento® is a photometric system based on precise focusing of LEDs. These systems are fitted with lenses that have been selected down to the very last detail. Each LED associated with a lens can be independently focused. It is a combination of all the LEDs that creates the overall light distribution.
Oriento® makes it possible to maximise luminous flux on the road while avoiding any potential light disturbances such as intrusive light. |

A variant of the Oriento® concept further ensures total flexibility in terms of lighting. OrientoFlex® enables the number of LEDs to be changed as well as the way in which they are focused, in order to respond to a wide range of road lighting applications. The flexibility of OrientoFlex® also allows settings to be made according to the specific needs of each project. It means that specific requirements can be met in terms of lighting, and particularly taking account of the surroundings. |

For Schréder, advancing durable and responsible solutions that optimise energy and lighting benefits is a non-negotiable commitment.
The performance of our photometric, thermal and mechanical designs are clearly aimed at reducing the energy used for meeting the required lighting levels, respecting applicable international standards, throughout the entire usable life of the luminaire.
LED luminaires developed by Schréder demonstrate remarkable photometric performance. For example, with the Senso luminaire installed on an M4-classifed road, and adhering to CIE 115, the power needed to meet a steady lighting level of 0.75cd/m² is 0.6W less per m² of roadway and per required cd/m². |
|
In order to respond to concerns about minimising environmental impact, Schréder has incorporated a label: "the green light".
Most of our LED luminaires meet our label's objective criteria across the four areas we have researched: energy, light disturbance, materials and production. |

As part of offering reliable, durable and effective solutions, Schréder has developed two concepts.
ThermiX® - up to 80% of luminous flux guaranteed for a minimum of 60,000 hours
Thermal management of LEDs is a crucial aspect in terms of the luminaire's reliability. Controlling lost heat is essential for ensuring the LED lasts a long time by maximising effectiveness and preserving luminous flux over time.
Schréder has developed a concept - ThermiX® - which is based on optimising several parameters in the thermal management of LEDs:
• thermal compartmentalisation between the LED and electronic control gear
• direct wiring: lost heat takes the shortest route between the source and outside
• the optimised design of the heat exchange surface with the outside
• the printed circuits on which the LEDs are fixed and connected (PCBs) are fitted with a temperature sensor that avoids any accidental overheating.

When designing our LED luminaires, we use sophisticated thermal simulation software early on to determine the future behaviour of the luminaires. Before going into production, further measures are implemented - first on the prototypes and then on initial samples.
The ThermiX® principles used in our LED luminaires enable an initial 80% luminous flux to be maintained over 60,000 hours of use, up to a maximum ambient temperature of 35°C. |

FutureProof - Schréder’s upgradable concept
Since LEDs are always undergoing technological development, Schréder has devised upgradable luminaires for road lighting. Our luminaires already benefit from the latest developments in electronics, photometry, materials and, naturally, LEDs; in addition, the design of our latest versions responds to concerns over adapting to LEDs yet to come.
In our most recent advances, both the photometric engine and the electronic assembly have been designed to be replaced at the end of the LEDs' useful life, in order to take advantage of future developments in this technology.
FutureProof, devised by Schréder, highlights our desire to offer solutions that will last over time and will adapt to technological change. |
