Product Overview
The Optio MIDI Zebra is a high-performance LED luminaire designed specifically to highlight pedestrian crossings with clearly defined contrast. Engineered to provide excellent vertical illumination, it ensures maximum visibility of pedestrians for approaching motorists, significantly enhancing road safety in urban environments.
This luminaire combines robust construction with sophisticated optical control. It features a high-pressure die-cast LM6 aluminium body and a toughened flat glass cover, ensuring durability in demanding outdoor conditions. The design is optimised for longevity, with a projected LED lifetime of L90 after 100,000 hours, minimising the need for frequent maintenance.
The system is highly adaptable, offering a range of wattages from 40W to 100W and multiple colour temperature options. Its versatile mounting system and integrated levelling indicator simplify installation across various infrastructure types.
Key Benefits
- Optimised Safety: Specifically engineered to provide the high-contrast vertical illumination required for safe pedestrian crossings.
- Exceptional Longevity: High-quality LM6 aluminium alloy and stainless steel fixings provide 1000-hour salt spray resistance and high durability.
- Maintenance Savings: A projected lifetime of L90 after 100,000 hours and a circular economy design with replaceable components significantly reduce long-term costs.
- Field Flexibility: The PowerSet feature allows for on-site power adjustment, providing maximum flexibility for installation and stock holding without re-programming.
- Environmental Protection: Certified as Dark Sky friendly when used with colour temperatures of 3000K or below at zero-degree tilt, protecting the nighttime environment from light pollution.
Applications
The Optio MIDI Zebra is designed for critical safety applications in transportation and urban planning:
- Zebra Crossings: Providing essential vertical light on pedestrians and horizontal light on the crossing carpet.
- Pedestrian Waiting Areas: Ensuring clear visibility of individuals preparing to cross the road.
- Urban Road Safety Schemes: Enhancing visibility at high-risk transit points in town centres and residential areas.
Features & Construction
- Robust Housing: Constructed from high-pressure die-cast LM6 aluminium with a polyester powder coat finish in light grey, dark grey, or black.
- IP66 & IK08 Ratings: Fully dust-tight and water-jet protected with high impact resistance for reliable performance in all weather conditions.
- MountSet System: A universal mounting system that interfaces with multiple column diameters and lengths for both post-top and side-entry configurations.
- Intelligent Ventilation: Features an in-built breather plug for pressure equalisation and prevention of moisture intrusion.
- Levelling Indicator: Includes an integrated spirit level to provide visual confirmation of correct horizontal installation.
Customisation Options
- PowerSet Module: An integral device for field-adjustable power output selection to suit specific project requirements.
- Optical Shields: Universal front, rear, and side shields are available to control light spillage and prevent inconvenience to neighbouring properties.

The PowerSet & MountSet Advantage
Intelligent Engineering for Modern Infrastructure
The Optio MIDI Zebra series incorporates proprietary technology to simplify the installation lifecycle and reduce operational costs:
- PowerSet Flexibility: Allows engineers to adjust system power in-situ, reducing the need for multiple stock items and allowing for precise lighting level adjustments on-site.
- Universal Mounting: The patented MountSet system allows a single luminaire to be used for post-top (60mm or 76mm) or side-entry (34mm, 42mm, or 60mm) applications.
- Sustainable Maintenance: The circular economy design ensures that key components, including the gear tray, are easily replaceable, extending the total service life of the unit.
Sustainability & Environmental Considerations
This luminaire is designed with a commitment to environmental responsibility and the circular economy:
- Local Manufacturing: Produced in Britain, reducing the carbon footprint associated with international shipping and logistics.
- Dark Sky Certified: Approved by the International Dark-Sky Association to protect the natural nighttime environment from light pollution.
- High Recyclability: Constructed primarily from LM6 aluminium alloy, which is highly recyclable at the end of the product's life.
- Longevity: A minimum 10-year warranty reflects the product's durable design and helps reduce waste through premature replacement.
Installation & Maintenance
Designed for straightforward deployment and minimal ongoing intervention:
- Mounting: Supports post-top and side-entry with a simple adjustment of the universal clamp and pivot.
- Levelling: An integrated spirit level ensures the luminaire is horizontal, which is a requirement for Dark Sky compliance.
- Safe Access: The luminaire features a safety disconnect when opening and uses stainless steel fixing screws that should be greased with silicone-based grease during maintenance.
- Cleaning: The exterior should be cleaned with water and mild soap to maintain optical performance and finish.
