Advanced road lighting with innovative Flat Beam® techno

Low height lighting needs know, there are a number of cases where conventional the best solution to road lighting problems. restricted by structures or local regulations; obtrusive light may have to be completed quickly - for example, to reduce operators' exposure to fast-moving traffic, or where downtime for service minimum. In situations such as these, conventional lighting is often deficient. Thorn has applied its legendary expertise to addressing these issues and the result is Orus, the first luminaire with Flat Beam® technology. Designed to satisfy standard lighting criteria in a low...

Introducing Orus A new road lighting luminaire with a special bi-directional optic, resulting in a unique light distribution; excellent uniformity with no glare; low energy and above all a mounting height As well as the usual Thorn easy maintenance, Orus uses Flat Beam® technology to exceed requirement levels at mounting of columns or other structures is an issue, Orus delivers optimised performance without glare for road users, in an attractive package with a choice of mounting options. Furthermore Orus delivers quality in a lighting installation through three distinct attributes: Good...

Flat Beam® Concept Flat Beam® technology addresses two issues unique to low-level mounting: • By positioning the optical light engine below the driver's eye line, it reduces the risk of direct glare • Thorn research on road surfaces of all types ensures that Orus delivers optimum luminance The optical system offers a very sharp and controlled light distribution while optimising the efficiency of the lamp. The use of ceramic metal halide lamps with small burners, between 35W and 70W, is the best choice in terms of light control, driver comfort and power consumption. Because Orus is a radical...

Conventional Installation 85° Light incident ray Reflected ray We have extensively tested Flat Beam® technology for glare, luminance and flicker. A comprehensive Research and Development programme has surveyed Flat Beam® performance with a representative range of road surfaces in different weather and lighting conditions. The test programme included comparisons of the system against reference luminaires in traffic-intensive conditions. The Research and Development team’s findings, show that for carriageway luminance of about 1.5cd/m2, Orus luminaires deliver between 227 and 3507cd/m2 while...

The system can be used where traditional road lighting using columns or façade mounting is not feasible, for reasons such as: • Extreme weather • Structural fragility • Maintenance difficulties other sensitive areas • Risk of obtrusive light resource issues Orus is not simply an ideal solution in such applications, it may even be the only solution. may even exceed - industry standards and other operating • The unique flat beam of light produced by Orus can help to reduce light leakage' while still providing comfortable lighting for all road users • Orus places light exactly where • Orus...

Classic Orus roads with or without pedestrian traffic. Without pedestrians, the optical design directs light entirely onto the road. Where pedestrians are present, Orus is available with an alternative optical design which creates a 'circle' of light around the luminaire, enabling drivers to detect a pedestrian's entire body. This option also allows for facial recognition by other pedestrians. Orus is also an excellent solution where obtrusive light has to be specified in certain residential areas, or in areas where the illuminated and road lighting should therefore be unobtrusive. The Flat...

Road safety Orus ensures better hazard and pedestrian visibility as well as improved driver comfort. This unique luminaire combines luminance and uniformity with limited glare, revealing obstacles and road surface irregularities. At the same time the low mounting height acts as a good optical and visual guide to the road layout. Durability block Orus is constructed from high quality materials and engineered operating life. Metal components are either die-cast aluminium visor is made from strong, UV stabilised and scratch protected low mounting height, the entire Orus structure incorporates...

Lighting data When Flat Beam® technology was integrated into Orus, priority glare. Calculations show that TI is considerably below 1 0% while, luminance and uniformity exceed relevant standards. The system is designed with a specific lamp burner cap so that direct light cannot reach the eyes of a driver or the rear mirrors of a car when installed at complete installation, Orus offers drivers a unique 'guidance' effect which tracks the contours of the road, ahead and behind. Orus can be installed either single-sided, with luminaire on both sides of the road with the same spacing. In the...

Orus combines simple, safe installation with easy maintenance Safety is assured through Class I or Class II electrical rating, with automatic power disconnection when the rear access door is opened. All external screws are tamper-proof Allen type, restricting access to contractors only. Stirrup version wires can be fitted with extra strong sleeves to resist cutting. The lantern is impact resistance to prevent damage from vandals and ensure that up-times remain long. The surface temperature of the fitting Lamp position setting Orus optics are optimised around a single setting which does not...
