Progressing LED TechnologyA design built exclusively around maximizing the LED chip package is the key to BetaLED’s competitive advantage. We didn’t
incorporate LEDs into existing product designs – we went to the drawing board and invested in an all-new product design that
provides safe, reliable and lasting performance in visually-pleasing luminaires.
We’re continuously innovating our state-of-the-art LED lighting system to gain the most power and efficiency from evolving
LED technology. BetaLED engineers designed a unique total systems solution in 2007 that has been enhanced to maximize
LED chip advancements.
All BetaLED products are manufactured with the latest generation of LED components on the market today. Ours is the most
sophisticated system that no other manufacturer can match.

Total Systems Approach The BetaLED total systems approach is a proprietary engineering method that integrates best-in-class LEDs, driver technology, optics and style into each product. The result is trouble-free luminaires that reduce energy consumption, maximize target lighting performance and extend product life.
Advanced Optic DesignBy combining a new generation of LED chip package with new optics and BetaLED’s advanced optical design techniques, we have developed luminaires that provide optimized application-level lighting performance.
BetaLED’s patented NanoOptic™ product technology delivers up to 96 percent optical efficiency. A direct-contact refractor sealed to the LED chip package provides a level of optical control that is not possible to achieve with optical systems developed for traditional light source technology. The result is uniform illumination placed precisely where it needs to go.
The NanoOptic refractor systemReduces light loss and delivers superior light control. •Improves uniformity ratios. •Controls glare.•Provides more than 19 optical distribution patterns.•
Delivered Lumens per WattBetaLED’s high efficiency driver and thermal management system are capable of providing total luminaire efficacies in excess of 70 lumens per watt.
Versatile Modular Light Bar We don’t take a one-size-fits-most approach. BetaLED offers the versatility of multiple optical selections and upgradeable LED modules. Modular light bars consist of an array of LEDs and NanoOptic refractors arranged in configurations that can be scaled to achieve the desired light level for specific applications. Designed to adapt with advancements in LED technology, upgradeable light bars provide flexibility to reconfigure for future energy saving solutions.
Optimized Driver PerformanceThe universal power driver designed exclusively for THE EDGE™ luminaires provides up to 95 percent efficiency and a wide range of selectable drive current options for precise balancing of energy savings and initial equipment costs. THE EDGE Series of luminaires are a controls-ready lighting solution designed for compatibility with a variety of system protocols utilizing wireless and power-line carrier technologies. Maximized energy savings can be achieved through a range of features from simple bi-level or continuous dimming to full adaptive lighting control.
Efficient Thermal ManagementProper thermal management is the key to maintaining lighting performance. Our efficient system maximizes the latest LED chip package performance. We mount each light bar to high performance heat sinks to assure the LEDs operate at a safe and optimal temperature for the application environment. Thermal management is enhanced with a unique vented housing that allows air to continually flow through the luminaire.
Environmentally ResponsibleBetaLED offers a number of environmental advantages over other types of lighting. Our luminaires are lead-free, mercury-free and meet Restriction of Hazardous Substances (RoHS) regulations.
Manufacturing ExcellenceProudly manufactured in Sturtevant, Wisconsin, all of BetaLED’s THE EDGE products are made in the USA of US and imported components and meet the Buy American Act; Section 1605 of the American Recovery Reinvestment Act (ARRA).
Lighting StandardsBetaLED is committed to developing and manufacturing quality LED luminaires that meet industry lighting standards and guidelines set forth by organizations and agencies such as the International Dark-Sky Association, Underwriters Laboratories and the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency’s (EPA) Energy Star program.

Rigorous TestingBetaLED validates the performance and reliability of all products before they leave our manufacturing facility. We only ship luminaires that have passed a series of tests to meet industry standards and our own strict quality and performance measurements.
As an Energy Star partner and Department of Energy SSL Quality Advocate, BetaLED is committed to upholding program standards through testing and reporting. We are committed to delivering products that perform to these high agency standards.
Evaluating PerformanceThe Illuminating Engineering Society of North America (IESNA) new Backlight, Uplight, Glare or BUG standard of measurement provides improved performance descriptions and measurement for LED luminaires. This TM-15 Luminaire Classification System (LCS) for Outdoor Luminaires classifies luminaire photometric performance related to light trespass, sky glow, and high angle brightness control.
All BetaLED products are International Dark-Sky Association (IDA) approved and are measured for performance using IESNA standards and guidelines including the IES BUG rating system which supercedes the former cut-off classification system.
BetaLED has participated in numerous U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) testing and evaluation demonstrations including the GATEWAY and CALiPER programs. These demonstrations and tests evaluate high performance BetaLED products for outdoor illumination in a variety of commercial applications. The information can be viewed on the DOE website at: http://www1.eere.energy.gov/buildings/ssl/search.html.
SafetyAll Solid State Lighting (SSL) should meet the requirements of accepted safety standards through the independent testing of a Nationally Recognized Testing Laboratory (NRTL). All BetaLED products meet safety certifications through Underwriters Laboratories and are suitable for use in wet locations.
Premium ProtectionWe back our quality products with one of the best warranties in the industry.

SuperValu’sCubFoodsSt.Paul,MN
The new 62,900-square-foot Cub Foods in St. Paul, Minn. is the first LEED Gold 2.2 Certified grocery store in the country. By installing THE EDGE luminaires in the parking lot, SuperValu’s Cub Foods not only earned LEED credits but became the first commercial parking lot in Minnesota to be illuminated using LED lights.
“BetaLED products contributed to earning credits for LEED certification by presenting significant energy savings,” said Scott Reinke, senior project manager for SuperValu Real Estate and Store Development.
In addition to energy savings, BetaLED fixtures also meet the City’s strict regulations on light pollution. “While achieving the City’s light trespass requirements, BetaLED provides desired light levels which help improve visibility and security for our customers,” said Reinke.

CityofAustinParkingGarageAustin,Texas
The City of Austin and Austin Energy retrofitted the first floor of a four-story parking garage with THE EDGE™ fixtures from BetaLED. This is just one test site throughout the city that will help propel Austin as a leader in the LED City™ initiative.
“We plan to evaluate LED solutions that have the potential to reduce energy consumption by 47 to 90 percent over traditional lighting solutions,” said Austin Mayor Will Wynn. “The total wattage of the LED parking garage light installation is about 30 percent below the allowable wattage as required by the Energy Code Allowance.”

The illustration below provides a graphic representation of the LED optical fine tuning range that BetaLED can provide. The darker area represents Type V Short optic coverage. The Short optic can be utilized to comply with more stringent light spill and high angle brightness specifications or codes by incorporating a lower main beam and cutoff angle. The extended yellow area indicates the Type V Medium optic coverage. The Medium optic incorporates a slightly higher main beam to allow wider, more economical pole spacing.
Both the Short and Medium optics still achieve excellent uniformity and IDA approval.
