Alternative to Schréder in Morocco — technical comparison for professional lighting

Starting point: Schréder AMPERA — catalogue, page 74

Page 74 of the official Schréder catalogue presents AMPERA for urban roads and distinguishes EVO 1, EVO 3 and MAXI, with different distributions and output options. The edition date is not established. MAXI must not be treated as an EVO variant: the brief must retain the exact designation before any comparison. This family presentation validates no LEDVANCE substitution.

Preparing the project brief

For the section studied, provide road width, pole positions and heights, outreach, tilt and surfaces to light. Include the full reference with its optic and photometric file. The lighting designer must compare lighting levels, uniformity and glare against project objectives, then check mounting and controls. No arbitrary threshold or automatic retention of supports is inferred from the catalogue.

Does matching wattage allow the poles to be retained?

Wattage does not answer this question. Photometric results and the mechanical conditions of the proposed mounting on existing supports must be checked. Without this evidence, retaining the poles remains an assumption, not an established benefit of the alternative.

The criteria we compare

Luminous flux, power, efficacy, colour temperature, colour rendering, optics, beam angle, UGR where relevant, IP/IK, dimensions, mounting, power supply, control protocol, service life, photometry, certifications and documentation are compared criterion by criterion. For a study, the IES/LDT files for the selected reference remain essential.

Equivalent does not mean a copy

A solution proposed as an alternative to a Schréder reference may be better on some criteria and different on others. We distinguish mandatory requirements from preferences to avoid false equivalents based solely on watts, lumens or luminaire appearance. Where data is missing or contradictory, the correct conclusion remains “not verified”.

From reference to project

Send the Schréder reference, the technical data sheet if you have it, quantities, application and essential constraints. We can then prepare a shortlist, check the available evidence and, where necessary, add a DIALux study. The names and brands mentioned belong to their respective owners; they are cited solely to identify the comparison requirement and do not imply any affiliation with Potentiel Énergie.

Where does a LEDVANCE alternative fit?

No pairing between competing references and LEDVANCE is validated on this page. We can search for a solution for the same use, then compare exact datasheets, installation conditions and study results. The brief must distinguish satisfied requirements, acceptable differences and unverified points. Specifier approval remains necessary before substitution; availability and commercial terms are confirmed separately.
