LED and Fentress Refractive Series
Philips Hadco’s superior refractive optics are designed to bend the light from the source and direct it out and down at precise angles for optimal efficiency. In addition, Philips Hadco’s refractive technology incorporates glare control into the design and masks the individual LED compnents so that there are no visible “dots.” The result is a solidstate light source which resembles the aesthetic appeal of traditional HID.

LumiLock™ with LED incorporates the ability to reduce house side illumination without the need for an auxilliary reflector. Patent-pending, adjustable light bars allow for redirection of the light so that it is not wasted.

The performance of the Philips Hadco refractive technology also boasts an industry leading 10:1 mounting height to spacing ratio. Couple that with four times the vertical illuminance of a standard cobra-head and the end result is a reduction in the number of luminaires and poles required to complete the job, saving energy and reducing the cost of materials, installation and maintenance.

Safety is a major concern in many communities and is an important factor in the consideration of luminaire selection. Since Philips Hadco’s refractive technology bends the light at proper angles to illuminate vertical surfaces, dark areas are eliminated and the safety of motorists and pedestrians is improved. Compared to higher mounted luminaires, Philips Hadco’s refractive luminaires are typically installed at about sixteen feet. This allows the luminaire to remain underneath tree canopies so that shadows and hazardous areas are not created.

Vertical Illuminance
The vertical illuminance produced by the car’s headlights illuminate an oncoming pedestrian in the same manner a Philips Hadco refractive globe does.
Overhead Fixtures
Overhead fixtures project most of their light downward, creating shadows, silhouettes, and hot spots.
Hadco's Refractive Globes
With lower mounting heights, Philips Hadco’s Refractive Globes light horizontally, beneath the tree canopy. They create an overlapping pattern of light, leaving no light gaps, and reducing shadow areas.
