Abstract
A new concentrator-collimator lighting system based on LED technology has b een developed. Using an array of LEDs as source, this device makes it possi ble to obtain an integrated light beam with high intensity level and desire d divergence, in a compact geometry with small output area. It has low cons umption and long lifetime. This makes it applicable in a variety of fields where quasi-monochromatic light and narrow angular distributions are needed , like road safety lighting.
