Optics

- LED’s emit light in a uniform direction(Raw Lumen). Typically bare LED’s are only good for a flood light.- Raw lumens are a fake number since it really doesn’t signify the true

measure of what a light will project or illuminate. - Effective Lumens are a true measure of the total light output and is a

measured number.

- A secondary optical system will determine the Total Efficiency, Candela and Lux of a light fixture. - Rigid Industries invests heavily in optical science with multiple

Patents, issued, licensed and pending in optical technologies. - An LED with inferior optics can be worse than non – LED technology. - It’s the optics that determine the TRUE OUTPUT of an LED light.

Optics are Like Tires – You Still have to get the Power to the Ground!

Hyperspot

-Spot or Flood configuration-Combination of lens and reflector-93%+ efficiency-Distance (10º Spot)-Broad beam (25º Flood)-Great for all around distance

-Wide or Driving configuration-45° spread horizontal-No internal reflector-Minimal waste of light-Allows more LED’s in same housing-Widest of all patterns-5º ultra-narrow concentrated Spot beam pattern for long distance applications.-Patent pending aperture system blocks unused light for a clean beam-Highest intensity per watt or square inch on the market.-Maximum distance

Optic Technology

• Reflector has relatively large opening, most of the light will never hit the surface and is considered “uncontrolled Spill” (Red)

• This unmanaged light is typically called “spill” and leaves a large area of scattered light around the main beam spot.(Red)

3

• Reflective surface collimates a portion of the beam(Red)

• Reflector has relatively large opening, a lens designed focus’s all remaining light into a single beam(Bright red)

• Zero unmanaged light. All energy produced by the LED is focued to desired beam(Spot shown or Flood)

• More light, where the customer wants it. 100% controlled.

• Most efficient in 10-30deg FWHM beam angle range.

• Reflective surface collimates a portion of the beam(Green)

• Reflector is much deeper aspect ratio than a traditional reflector. This depth controls spill light.

• Reflected light is wide and mixes almost exactly with spill light for the appearance of 100% control.

• Crossover ray-trace path creates, wide, smooth beam.

• Most efficient in 30-50deg FWHM beam angle range.

• Solid Chunk of Plastic • Manages ALL light - both direct and reflected,

similar to a Hybrid. • Light travels through at least 2 surfaces (often

more), and very thick piece of plastic before getting out of the system.

• Less efficient than a Hybrid or Spector. • Usually more expensive than similarly sized

reflector

TIR – Total Internal Reflector

Hyperspot• 100% Lens with multiple patent

pending features. • Focuses the light into incredibly tight

and well controlled beam. • Hyperspot total beam <7deg. • Virtually zero spill or flood light• Great for low visibility(Fog, Dust, Rain)• HIGHEST INTENSITY(per watt) OF ANY

LED LIGHT ON THE MARKET!

Diffused Lens / Area Flood Light

• Our Diffused Lens models utilize the same efficient technology of our projected beams and disburses the beam into a 60 degree pattern. Perfect illumination for an emergency scene.

3w vs. 5w. vs. 10w LED

-Just because you have higher power LED’s, doesn’t mean you get a more light (total lumens, or candela).

-Lumens per Die area makes a bigger difference in beam intensity and efficiency than total lumens.

-More 3w LED’s will give more, lumens, higher candela and lux, more efficiently for any given footprint and half the depth!
