Name: Avanza
Manufacturer: Selux
Website: selux.de
Overview: The exterior street and area luminaire Avanza uses Selux’s Cross Beam Technology (CBT) to create uniform light by orienting LEDs in a preset direction based on their intended use. For asymmetrical lighting, CBT reflectors direct the LEDs to maximize the total luminance efficiently. The large, freeform reflectors are configured based on the desired lighting distribution.
Configurations: Avanza 450, Avanza 600, and the Avanza 450/600 combined configuration.
Lighting Distribution: The Avanza 600/450 may be used for roadway and walkway illumination. The Avanza 450 is suitable for asymmetric light distribution for city arterials with slower speed requirements. The Avanza 600 can produce asymmetric light distribution for major roads with dense traffic as well as parking lots and areas with strict lighting regulations. Its forward-throw light distribution is suitable for parking lot illumination.
Height and Spacing: The Avanza 600 and 600/450 may be mounted up to 10 meters (32 feet) high and have a maximum SHR of 6. The Avanza 450 may be mounted 4.5- to 6-meters high and has an SHR of up to 8.
Housing: Die-cast aluminum with non-reflecting safety glass.
Thermal Management: Integral heat management
Color Temperature Options: 3000K and 4500K
Additional Features:

  • Optional comfort feature widens the light density at beam edges.
  • Control options can be integrated in the fixture.
  • International Dark Sky Association (IDA) compliant.
