VALENTINO: A CLASSIC VICTORIAN LED LUMINAIRE
A RANGE OF
FLEXIBLE LED
STRIPS
FROM OSRAM
BEKA SCHRÉDER, Africa’s leading manufacturer of
energy efficient luminaires, has introduced a classic
LED luminaire into the South African Market.
During the Victorian era, major improvements
in the fields of science and engineering led to
huge expansion in the lighting industry. Having
previously been restricted to candles and firelight,
the effect of introducing controllable light to society
was enormous. The Victorian passion led to the
creation of oil and gas lamps.
The Valentino LED’s aesthetic design reflects
this era in our history. Under its classical exterior,
the luminaire incorporates leading-edge LED
technology.
The Valentino LED is stylish, highly efficient
and contributes to the well-being and safety of
people in public spaces. This classic luminaire
is particularly suited to lighting parks, squares,
pedestrian areas, city centres and residential areas.
It is also suitable for decorative lighting of business
parks, golf estates and wine farms with a sense of
Victorian charm.
The Valentino LED is designed to operate LED
light sources of up to 75 W. It can be offered with a
classic Gardone column in cast steel or with a wall
bracket for suspended or post-top mounting. An
embellishment conceals the mounting nut while
providing a smooth finishing surface at the base of
the luminaire. Different protector options, namely
clear, structured or opal, are available for various
effects. It is offered in most RAL or AKZO colours to
help create an atmosphere that is elegant.
Its use of LEDs minimises the power
consumption and permits low height installations
without generating intrusive light for the inhabitants
of buildings. With no upper flux, the Valentino LED
limits light pollution. Its long lasting design of
recyclable materials guarantees a responsible use
of natural resources. It can operate with a photocell,
a scheduled dimming system, a Constant Light
Output or a complete remote Owlet management
system. It can also be equipped with a motion
detection unit.
BEKA Schréder’s ambience selection provides
efficient lighting systems in cities to help improve
quality of life. Lighting must fulfil not only aesthetic
criteria but also requirements related to photometric
performance. The company offers an extensive
range of highly efficient decorative luminaires,
ranging from contemporary to traditional designs,
using conventional or LED light sources.
