- Lamp efficacy
Lamp efficacy
Ensuring the lamp efficiently converts electricity into light (lm/W).
- Ballast classification
Ballast classification
Controlling the electricity supply to the lamp (Energy Efficiency Index).
- Luminaire distribution
Luminaire distribution
Orus’ wide optic allows the luminaires to be well spaced at 12m apart. In turn, this reduces the quantity of fittings and therefore overall energy consumption.
- System efficacy
System efficacy
Combining optical and thermal control within the luminaire (luminaire lm/W).
- Presence/absence detection
Presence/absence detection
Providing lighting only when it’s needed.
- Daylight detection
Daylight detection
Reducing waste light during daylight hours.
- Constant illuminance
Constant illuminance
Producing the correct lighting levels for the duration of the maintenance period.
- Task-scene setting
Task-scene setting
Allowing the user to set scenes and adapt the lighting to different tasks.
- Timed off
Timed off
Automatic cut-off to turn all lights off during unoccupied hours.
- Task lighting
Task lighting
Lighting task areas with the correct amount of light.
- Zoning of lighting
Zoning of lighting
Zoning lighting in accordance to occupancy patterns or window location.
- Maintenance schedule
Maintenance schedule
The use of an optic highly resistant to damage or degradation combined with a low luminaire mounting height ensures maintenance is simple, reducing the need for over-lighting to compensate for light loss through degradation of luminaire performance or lamp failure
- Waste light
Waste light
Precise optical control and luminaire aiming minimises spill light, so no energy is wasted lighting the wrong area.
- Reflectance
Reflectance
Taking advantage of light which is reflected from the surface within the space.
- Visible smart metering
Visible smart metering
Enabling results of actions to be quickly seen as increased or decreased energy use to encourage responsible energy consumption.
Orus bollards illuminate remote rail track in Western Australia
A new remote rail track in Western Australia is now equipped with 500 customised Orus bollard luminaires(60W) to provide the optimum 12m spacing required to illuminate the track while avoiding the maintenance challenge associated with high columns.
Orus incorporates Flat Beam® technology specifically developed for low-level mounting. A special bi-directional optic provides a unique light distribution, excellent uniformity with no glare and a low mounting height of 0.9m.
Placing light exactly where it is needed, the Flat Beam® technology satisfies the most demanding standards for safety. It provides increased perceived brightness and visibility and helps drivers to detect static or moving obstacles at all speeds, in addition to this Orus' optics also provide the perfect illumination for track or train maintenance.
To increase the speed, and in turn, reduce the cost of the installation, Orus was customized by adding an external junction box inside and to the base of the bollard. This ensured the installer only needed to connect the pre-assembled bollard to the mains power. It also eliminated the need to dismantle the product to get access to the terminal block.
For durability, Orus features a powder-coated steel with UV stabilised polycarbonate enclosure. This protects the bollard against graffiti and provides extra scratch resistance in the harsh, remote conditions.
