Bright Ideas for Dark Spaces: The Arcaled Advantage

Fael Luce has truly outdone itself with the Arcaled series, a range of advanced lighting solutions specifically designed for tunnel applications. These products are game-changers for tunnel illumination with their durability, energy efficiency, and combination of impressive features.

Each model in the Arcaled series is tailored to specific needs, offering various power and luminous flux ratings to suit different tunnel lighting requirements.

• The Arcaled 5 delivers 28,000 lumens at 200W, with dimensions of 450 x 350 x 160 mm and a weight of 12 kg.
• The Arcaled 4 provides 21,000 lumens at 150W, measuring 400 x 320 x 150 mm and weighing 10 kg.
• The Arcaled 3 produces 14,000 lumens at 100W, with dimensions of 350 x 290 x 140 mm and a weight of 8 kg.
• The Arcaled 2 outputs 7,000 lumens at 50W, measuring 300 x 260 x 130 mm and weighing 6 kg.

There’s more than meets the eye. Arcaled lights deliver reliable and efficient performance even for sophisticated tunnel lighting projects through the following features:

Easy Fix Adjustment System

The easy-fix adjustment system is composed of adjustable mounting brackets with pivot points and swivel joints for easy rotation and angle adjustment. A quick-release mechanism integrates sliding rails so installers can fine-tune the light’s position before locking it into place. There are incorporated adjustment scales that indicate tilt and rotation angles.

This adjustment system is designed to be intuitive, with easy-to-manipulate components that do not require specialized tools. It’s a brilliant innovation that drastically reduces installation time and labor costs while providing the exact required orientation for optimal lighting.

No-Welding Design

Since traditional welded joints are prone to corrosion and can be weak points in the structure, Fael Luce’s decision to eliminate welding guarantees a more durable and aesthetic product, especially in harsh tunnel environments where high humidity, corrosion, high vibration, and mechanical stress are always present.

The Arcaled series’ components are joined by mechanical fasteners instead of using a modular approach. This way, parts can be replaced or repaired without requiring specialized welding equipment, making them more customizable and scalable if needed.

Anti-Aging Rubber Body-Glass Seals

Arcaled lights feature anti-aging rubber body-glass seals to prevent water, dust, and other contaminants from entering the light body and damaging sensitive components. This type of seal maintains its elasticity and efficacy over time especially in tunnels where exposure to challenging conditions is a given. By preventing external contaminants from entering, the seals also block condensation, allowing the lights to maintain a stable internal temperature.

AISI 316-L Stainless Steel Construction

The Arcaled series boasts exceptional corrosion resistance even with constant exposure to moisture and pollutants by using AISI 316-L stainless steel. This alloy is composed of iron, chromium (16-18%), nickel (10-14%), and molybdenum (2-3%). The "L" denotes low carbon content (less than 0.03%), which enhances its corrosion resistance. Molybdenum improves resistance to pitting and crevice corrosion, particularly in chloride environments.

The material also provides strength, ductility, and hardness to resist deformation and wear even with impact or constant vibration.

As for aesthetics, AISI 316-L stainless steel offers surface integrity, displaying a smooth polish that resists rust and stains even with minimal upkeep.

Durable and Precise Engineering

Along with its use of superior material and advanced sealing, the Arcaled series features impeccable engineering with its robust construction, modular design, custom lenses, and consistent LED performance. Each fixture undergoes rigorous quality control checks to ensure it meets Fael Luce's high standards for optimal light distribution.

Maintenance-Friendly

In addition to its durability and corrosion resistance that reduces the need for frequent replacements, all the models in the Arcaled series are designed for easy access and servicing, further minimizing downtime and operational costs.

The Final Verdict

Fael Luce’s Arcaled series is a top-tier choice for tunnel lighting if you’re looking for easy to maintain, highly efficient lights with a long life. Their innovative features, robust construction, and user-friendly design make them a reliable and cost-effective solution for demanding tunnel environments.
