Design of LED Based Street Light as Per MNRE Rural Lighting Specification

Abstract

Objective of the project is to develop solar based L.E.D Street Light luminarie which are M.N.R.E compliant. The aim of the work is to design white L.E.D luminaries which not only fulfills all the technical specifications for the above mentioned applications areas, but also incorporates the best optimal, thermal and electrical solutions while keep the design cost as low as possible to make the product market viable. For the development of L.E.D based luminarie, various steps were involved. The first and foremost step was the selection of high power white L.E.D which produced a high lumen output. The subsequent steps involved the theoretical calculations; DIALux simulations based on the theoretical calculations, assembling of components after the simulation output met the M.N.R.E specifications, photometric evaluation of the prototypes, I.E.S file generation and then final dialux simulation to evaluate the light output of the prototype.
