TRT releases the Aspect gen2… « on: February 09, 2025, 07:31:42 PM » Author: phosco179
https://www.trtlighting.co.uk/product/aspect-gen2/ Needless to say, they’ve completely ruined the design of the original Aspect. I don’t know what the designers were thinking. This has ruined what otherwise was a company that made decent LED lanterns.

If you really want to covert LED, prioritize retrofits over full replacements.

I quite like the side profile. The underside looks Philips though. still exciting to see something new. The way it hinges reminds me of the v-max g2. Should this post be in the modern lanterns section?

To be fair, the TRT Aspect Gen2 lantern looks totally like a rip off of a Advanced LEDs Clara. Probably Warwickshire will be the first 'Shire' to use the Aspect Gen2, the "shire" in where I live. If by any chance I will meet one, I will add a photo of one. The design is just the design, I'm more thinking about the function, will it work like the Advanced LEDs Marlin for 16-17 years, or like those Holophane V-MAX Gen2 which work no longer than a month! I do a bit care about the design, it's not that bad but it looks like TRT copied the Advanced LEDs Clara design...I may be wrong.

More now interested in Polish Street lighting, the country where I come from.

LED fixtures need to stop replacing fine-working streetlights. However, I except retrofits, only if it's done very well.

For today I live in England, so except me posting English fixtures as well.

I don't think they coped the Clara, it's a relitivley little known lantern, which itself has copied a design element from the BetaLED LEDway, it has silver metal above the diodes. A a lantern with a square profile isn't new, nor is trapdoor mounting.

Let's hope the Aspect Gen2 will work at least a decade before it's death  however, I can bare the design, it's the lifespan/function that worries me a bit
