Compared to traditional street lighting technologies, light emitting diode (LED) luminaires have the potential advantages of increased energy efficiency, longer operating life and better light distribution. In this paper, we present a new highquality LED road lighting luminaire. The luminaire shows high optical efficiency, high optical utilization factor and low glare, and illuminates the street with high uniformity. We verify its feasibility by Monte Carlo ray-tracing and test its real performance through a prototype model of the luminaire. The results show that it can achieve the expected performance.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
