技术功效语段:
The patent text describes the current LED road lighting systems and their drawbacks. These systems use a large number of small LEDs with a single lens, which creates a precise illumination of the road surface. However, the luminaire appears pixelated and has a high glare/brightness contrast, with bright spots at the lens positions and almost dark areas between them. The technical effect of this patent is to provide a solution that reduces the glare and brightness contrast of LED road lighting systems.
