Question 2

How to choose optics for an LED post top lantern?

Accepted Answer

For most LED post top lantern applications (such as sidewalks and parks), it is recommended to choose a Class II or Class III lens with a full-cutoff design and a beam angle between 100° and 140° to achieve the best balance between uniform illumination and light pollution control. Do not make decisions solely based on wattage or lumen output; optical design is the soul of lighting effect. For technical questions or any technical support, please contact ZGSM.
