Genesi Elettronica

In 2012 the first Genesi illuminator able to focus the light was born. This is the GEM-L10, which thanks to a special asymmetric secondary lens in polycarbonate reduces the beam angle to 10 °. For this product the tested transmittance is 82% while the focus is obtained to 30 mm. 

GEM remains to this day one of the most popular products. Indeed, with its 40W per meter it expresses excellent light output that collimates to a factor x 3.5 with white LEDs.

NEW CHALLENGES: the GEVX model 

Nowadays the industrial lighting has to face many challenges:

• Need for more and more continuous emission light; 

• Narrower beam angles in order to have further working areas;

• Secondary lens optimisation to guarantee the best light efficiency

• UV and IR led use with wavelengths up to 1650 nm (InGaAs)

• To reduce the mechanical bends above all over 1 mt length, in order to guarantee a greater light stability.

In 2019 these needs led us to develop the GEVX project that meets the industrial requirements with these solutions:

• Continuous use light power over 100 W per meter

• 5° beam angle with focal point at 60-80 mm

• Symmetrical secondary lens with 30 mm diameter and factor multiplied for 5 (on white led)

• Secondary lens in PMMA (88% transmittance) usable from 350 nm to 1000 nm or secondary lens in PC polycarbonate (82% transmittance) usable from 1000 to 1650 nm

• Mechanical case moulded with bend under 1 mm for 300 cm length

In addition to these important innovations, the project also introduces these new features:

• Possibility of multi-frequency solution: circuits with 2 or 3 different types of LEDs (white – red – IR or UV and IR) can be incorporated in a single GEVX illuminator. Where previously 2 or 3 different

• illuminators were used, it is now possible to do everything with just one, reducing costs and size;

• Optimised fixing points for various needs;

• Optional cover to increase the protection degree;

• High-perfomance backlight variant.
