LED Surge Protector Manufacturer
SPD for LED lighting
LSP, specialists in lightning and overvoltage protection.
A pioneer in the design and manufacture of lightning and surge protection devices. For over 12 years LSP has been providing high-quality solutions and products using the latest most innovative technology.
LSP offers a wide range of solutions for all types of outdoor lighting equipment and installations, inside the pole or inside the panel.

Why protect
LED technology embraces the concept of efficiency, combining considerable energy saving and much greater life expectancy than traditional lighting sources. This technology, however, has a number of drawbacks:
- Its implementation requires a major investment, which in the case of destruction of the equipment would have to be repeated.
- Extreme sensitivity to overvoltages, whether caused by lightning or by switching on the grid. The very nature of public lighting installations, with its long cable runs, increased their exposure to overvoltage effects induced by lightning.
For these reasons, the use of protective systems against surges is a very profitable investment, both in terms of the lifetime of the luminaire and in savings in replacement costs and maintenance.
OEM Solutions (manufacturer)
Extend the life of your LED luminaires and avoid potential claims and damage to your image
Surge protection adds value to the manufacturer of LED lighting, providing an extra guarantee to the end-user in terms of reliability and durability.
LSP, a company specializing in surge protection, provides the manufacturer with a complete solution in this field: a wide range of surge protector devices, technical advice, built-to-order products.
The solution for the manufacturer of lighting
Compact and easy to install in any luminaire
LSP has designed a compact solution that fits any luminaire. Surge protection for LED luminaires is very simple to install.
Solutions for all types of electrical grids
The range of surge protectors for LED luminaires is suitable for all network configurations and all voltages (including IT systems).
Your luminaire, surge resistant
At LSP we guarantee both the protection of the LED luminaire and the correct design of the luminaire and surge protection combination.


Retrofit solutions. Upgrading the protection of the installed base of luminaires
Currently, over 80% of lighting panels are inadequately protected.
Recent studies suggest that over 80% of existing public lighting panels include no surge protection. For the remaining 20%, the protection in the panel is insufficient to effectively protect the luminaire assembly connected to the panel, because surges can also be induced along with the long cable runs.
The optimal and most effective system of protection is the staggered or cascade type.
First, an initial protection stage should be installed in the lighting panel (with the installation of a sturdy protector with a high discharge capacity of 40 kA, and protection against power frequency overvoltages (TOV temporary overvoltages) and a second stage as close as possible to the luminaire (fine protection to complement the first stage).
It is estimated that there is an installed base of over 500,000 insufficiently protected outdoor LED lights in Europe.
Upgrading the installed base of LED luminaires with surge protection is a very profitable investment, both in terms of reduced maintenance costs, and of the protection of expensive investments.
LSP offers a wide range of solutions for efficient protection of outdoor LED lighting installations.
Good protection
- reduces maintenance cost
- ensures continuity of service

- ensures ROI on LED technology
Surge protection for LED lighting
LED street lighting is now widely used for its efficiency, its energy cost savings and its life expectancy. Nevertheless, this attractive technology has an important weakness: its sensitivity to transient voltages created by lightning or by power switch operations on AC network.
Surge protectors for lighting network
LSP provides a complete of surge protectors to be installed at different locations of the outdoor lighting network, such as the luminaires, the street lighting pole box, and the street cabinets. LSP offers solutions adapted to every type of outdoor LED lighting systems: urban, architectural, tunnels, etc…
Surge protection for LED lighting
Surge protective devices stop sensitive LED technology from being damaged. They prevent costly outages, time-consuming repair work, and expensive replacement of the luminaires.
Despite their many advantages, LED lights are more susceptible to surges and a lot more expensive to replace than conventional luminaires. Pointless expense which can easily be avoided.
Damage due to surges
Not only direct lightning strikes lead to damage, often it is indirect lightning that causes overvoltages exceeding the immunity of sensitive LED luminaires many times over.
Overvoltage damage usually occurs in the form of partial or complete failure of the LED modules, destruction of the LED drivers, loss of brightness or failure of the entire control electronics.
Even if the luminaire continues to function, surges usually have a negative influence on its service life.
Protective devices prevent failure
Powerful surge arresters prevent damage and increase the service life of LED luminaires. This enables you to optimize your replacement rate and minimize costly maintenance work. That’s how you save money.
Not only that, safeguarding the availability of the lighting keeps operators, employees, local authorities and residents happy.
Avoid unnecessary maintenance jobs and safeguard availability with an effective bespoke surge protection concept.
