Leotek Presents Arieta™ - achieving the potential of LED area lighting

May 4, 2012 - PRLog -- MILPITAS, CALIFORNIA – May 4, 2012 – Leotek Electronics USA Corp. is pleased to introduce the new Arieta™ LED Area Luminaire.  Arieta™ stands for Architectural, Retrofittable, Inexpensive, Energy Saving, Technology Leading, Area Luminaire.

Architectural
The minimal profile of the Arieta™ is simply “form following function” – miniature LED arrays transitioning smoothly to a pole. The remarkably sleek, architectural form of the Arieta™ LED Area Luminaire virtually disappears from view in silhouette.

Retrofittable
The Arieta features a patent pending mounting system designed to allow quick installation on virtually all existing area lighting poles. This extraordinary innovation allows a single installer in a bucket truck to easily retrofit the existing HID luminaire and install the Arieta™ LED Area Luminaire in minutes without redrilling the pole.

Inexpensive
Because of Leotek’s high volume manufacturing and economies of scale, the Arieta™ LED Area Luminaire is surprisingly inexpensive – typically selling for hundreds of dollars below the price of similar products. With the tremendous life cycle savings of energy and maintenance costs, the financial “payback” is often quickly achieved.

Energy Saving
Combining the efficiency of modern LED technology and the superior control of the Arieta™ micro-lens optical system often provides energy savings of over 70% compared with the older metal halide technology usually found in parking areas.

Technology Leading
With the Arieta™, Leotek is using state-of-the-art LEDs, which provide many times the light output of prior generations of chips. In addition, rigorous accelerated-life thermal testing assures that these LEDs will continue to burn brightly for decades providing substantial savings in maintenance costs.

Area Luminaire
Chris Nye, Vice President of Commercial and Industrial Lighting, states, “LED technology offers tremendous potential to redefine the traditional ‘Shoebox’ area luminaire. The compact source size allows for a lower profile housing and a much lighter weight luminaire to facilitate retrofits.  In addition, the ability to control the light output so precisely eliminates the need for over lighting at the base of the pole, and under lighting between the poles, while achieving significant savings in energy and maintenance costs. The Leotek Arieta™ is the first LED area luminaire that fully exploits all of these advantages. This is what we mean when we say that the Arieta™ is truly ‘achieving the potential of LED area lighting’.”
