SIDEis ONE

SIDEis ONE is an innovative LED luminaire designed for street lighting, tunnels, pedestrian crossings, and outdoor architectural applications. It is intended to be installed on low supports such as bollards, guardrails, and cable ducts, providing high levels of luminance and illuminance over large areas.

SIDEis is built around its patented optical unit, consisting of an injection-molded transparent polymer light guide and a multi-source PCB.

This system enables SIDEis to comply with the strictest European standards for street and tunnel lighting, despite its low installation height.
Additionally, different groups of LEDs on the PCB source can be dimmed separately, giving SIDEis the flexibility to create various lighting scenarios and photometric distributions, all remotely controlled (adaptive photometry).

The standard distributions include asymmetric transversal and longitudinal road photometrics. On request, SIDEis can be equipped with additional signaling LED modules in amber and red, turning it into a configurable road flasher for fog, accidents, traffic jams, or other hazards.

The photometric characteristics of these modules enable the luminaire to achieve L2L class according to EN 12352: 2006 (signaling and safety lighting). Each luminaire can communicate with adjacent ones to achieve specific signal sets, such as a whip effect.

How is SIDEis ONE installed?

Due to its compactness, SIDEis can be installed roadside, even where space is limited. It fits perfectly within most guard rail profiles, and its lightweight design ensures that it does not pose additional risks in the event of an accident. The luminaire’s die-cast aluminium body ensures proper heat dissipation to the onboard electronic components, extending their lifecycle. The exterior is powder-coated for optimal resistance to harsh environments.

Infrastructure and Driving in the Future

The advantages of wireless LED lighting go beyond immediate economic benefits and structural simplification. As roads adapt to IoT and laser sensing technologies, the need for a lighting solution that integrates with these new smart systems- both in urban and non-urban areas- continues to grow. This integration makes these areas interconnected and, consequently, safer.

Is the Era of the street light lamp post over?

Imagine a compact, discreet, and safe lighting system at street level and human height. In the world of LED technology, which has already delivered so much in terms of efficiency and energy savings, this is the true revolution! The integrated SIDEis One system for lighting, delineation, and communication shifts the light source from above to the side of the road, revolutionizing the approach to street lighting.

SIDEis One is our compact and intelligent LED luminaire, primarily designed for conflict zones on busy roads and tunnels. It precisely delineates the illuminated area while minimizing light spillage. With its clean and uniform light, it ensures optimal visibility without dazzling drivers.

1. Dematerialization and Human-Friendly Lighting

10 cm wide, 7 cm high, and weighing only 350 grams: ultra-compact and smaller than most smartphones, SIDEis is designed to replace old and intrusive streetlights, true dinosaurs of street lighting.

It is made from sustainable materials but is so robust and powerful that it can easily illuminate roads, tunnels, and bridges. Mounted less than 1 meter from the ground, it is easily accessible for maintenance and replacement.

2. Innovation Designed for a New Driving Experience

Glare and light spillage are significant problems for drivers: they limit the ability to clearly distinguish obstacles; consequently increasing the likelihood of accidents, especially in adverse weather conditions.

Exceeding safety standards, the SIDEis luminaire effectively eliminates light spillage and glare, thanks also to a 20° tiltable mounting angle.

3. Weather-Proof

Weather-resistant with an IP66 rating, SIDEis ensures road and perimeter visibility even in low-light conditions when a driver’s ability to proceed safely is compromised by fog, mist, or rain.

4. Optical Guidance

Thanks to an optical guide, it pushes every single photon of light into angles currently unexplored in street lighting, with a grazing light projection is 30 times broader than a normal road photometry.

5. Visibility in Conflict Zones

With increased visibility at intersections and junctions, including bridges, accidents are significantly reduced.

6. Signaling Light

In case of accidents, poor visibility warnings, or unexpected traffic blockages, SIDEis can be remotely configured to alert users in time.

7. Remotely Customizable Photometric Distribution

The heart of the product is its patented optics—a mix of reflection and refraction resulting from years of study—that creates a customized and uniform light distribution. Just select the needed photometry and easily change it remotely.

8. Reduced Light Spillage

Traditional 10-meter lamp posts emit a significant amount of light that not only hits the intended road but also the surrounding distant areas.

SIDEis effectively illuminates the road surface without light waste, focusing the emission on the driving lane and making the perimeter visibly more defined.
