The VFL LED streetlight luminaire features We-ef’s One LED Concept (OLC) technology, which aligns the LEDs in the same direction, and untilted, to provide an even level of light distribution. A special acrylic lens minimizes the amount of light reflected from the diode into the luminaire’s housing, which also incorporates the heat sink. The fixture is offered in three wattages—28W, 42W, and 49W—and three color temperatures—warm-white 3000K, neutral-white 4000K, and cold-white 5000K. Wattages can be adjusted to respond to changing exterior lighting condition via a factory-installed Eco Step Dim module, a software-controlled dimmer. The luminaire is composed of only two die-cast components, including the housing, which is made of a marine-grade, recycled, corrosion-resistant, low copper-aluminum alloys. The fixture head mounts easily onto a variety of different streetligting poles. we-ef.com
