Radiation Tolerant LED Luminaire
Project status: In production.
Following on from work done on a radiation resistant power supply for
emergency lights, a new
design has been developed to cope with the higher power demands of
conventional lighting in radioactive environments.
The LED luminaire is designed to be equivalent to the 58W T8 fluorescent
tube with the following performance objectives:
- Smaller physical size than an equivalent T8 luminaire to facilitate retro-fit
- Equivalent or higher light output (>2500lm)
- CRI >= 72
- Lamp Life > 50,000 hours to 50% failures
Sample luminaire installed in the CERN PS accelerator tunnel, April 2019.
