INFRASTRUCTURE CATEGORY


AGMI Area Lighting
7614 AGMI Traffic & Lighting,
The Netherlands


The AGMI Area Lighting system can be used in many different applications by changing the lens photometry that is located on the modules. One of the main advantages is that the lumen output of each individual module can be controlled separately. The modules are fixed in a flexible situation so that each of them can be adjusted individually in the X or Y direction. The result is that the LED light can be aimed exactly where it is needed.
