What is side reflecting technology?
Definition
When asked what side-reflecting technology exactly is, one might also ask what RFT lens technology is. This technology produces a different and improved beam pattern. Different types of lighting also feature different optical elements, depending on the purpose of the lighting. There are many options available, such as softening or, conversely, sharpening the light beam. The lens of a light largely determines the actual light output. Side-reflecting technology utilises indirect light. The aim of this is to illuminate the work area evenly. This even distribution is achieved by using the reflection technique.
The difference between indirect and direct light is that with direct light the LEDs shine directly on the surface to be illuminated. Direct light can be found in work lights that have to illuminate one specific spot. So this is actually the opposite purpose when compared to RFT lens technology. Simply explained, the lens determines a lot about the light and one is not better than the other. It simply has to do with the purpose the light serves. If you have any questions about which lighting is best in your situation, feel free to contact us.
Where at TRALERT®?
Side-reflecting technology can be found in various TRALERT® products. It is most commonly used in TRALERT®’s LED work lights, particularly in flood beams. A flood beam is designed to provide the immediate surroundings with plenty of light. The aim is to illuminate the workplace evenly; ideally, no areas should be brighter than others. You will not find this technology in lights designed to be seen. Different lenses are used for this purpose; their aim is to project a specific beam pattern.
