OPTI-SELECT Technology by LEDVANCE: The One Fixture That Does It All

Have you ever managed too many SKUs or selected the wrong lighting fixture? Nowadays, lighting procurement and installation still face frustrating challenges, such as unexpected design changes or inventory headaches. 

With high efficiency and flexibility, OPTI-SELECT technology is set to simplify everything. It is LEDVANCE's breakthrough in field-adjustable lighting technology. Let’s dive into how this innovation is changing the game.

OPTI-SELECT is LEDVANCE’s proprietary line of field-adjustable LED luminaires and lamps. Its core idea and unique selling point is that one single fixture can do all the job. Here are OPTI-SELECT adjustable features:

• Beam distribution
• Color temperature
• Lumen output 

Traditional lighting fixtures require ordering a specific SKU for each combination of these specs. On the contrary, OPTI-SELECT combines multiple lighting options in one fixture. It lets you adjust settings instantly at the job site and no tools are required.
With the addition of Area Light, Bollards, Cylinders, Floodlights, Track Lights, and PAR38 lamps, this expanded lineup offers flexible solutions for various lighting needs.
 

OPTI-SELECT Area Light provides three color temperatures (CCTs), three lumen outputs, and three switch-selectable beam distributions (Type III, IV, and V). With 27 possible configurations in a single product, it delivers unmatched flexibility and performance for nearly any outdoor lighting application. 
The fixture comes in bronze, black, or white finishes and includes an integrated 7-pin NEMA receptacle, Bluetooth® compatibility through LEDVANCE LINK™, and support for field-installable screw-in sensors.

OPTI-SELECT bollard is today’s most flexible lighting solution for walkways, gardens, parking lots and other outdoor areas.

This luminaire offers customizable illumination with two options- full zone lighting or OPTI-SELECT switchable light distribution in 90˚, 180˚, 270˚, and 360˚ patterns. While competing products often need physical lens replacements for beam adjustments, the Opti-Select area light streamlines the process by letting you change settings with a simple switch rotation.

The OPTI-SELECT cylinder wall lights combine sleek design with smart functionality, perfect for facades, entryways, and wall washing. 

Beyond adjustable color temperature and wattage, these luminaires let you switch between narrow, medium, or wide beam angles, plus choose light direction — up, down, or both. Offered in bronze, black, and white finishes with 3", 4", and 6" size options, they feature a built-in photocell that can be turned off easily with an on/off switch.
 

With cutoff and non-cutoff versions, OPTI-SELECT Wall Pack is designed for walkways, facades, parking lots, and perimeter lighting. This adaptable luminaire includes an integrated photocell and allows for simple field installation of standalone sensors and controls without the need for additional wiring. 

The OPTI-SELECT linear high bay merges sleek design with smart functionality, offering adjustable wattage, color temperature, and light distribution. Perfect for warehouses, school gyms, municipal buildings, and hallways, this fixture allows you to switch between wide or aisle-focused lighting with just a flip of a switch. This innovative technology provides instant customization to suit any space without complicated adjustments.

These stylish track lights provide excellent lighting for nearly all commercial and industrial settings. They feature convenient OPTI-SELECT technology, allowing you to adjust beam angles by simply turning the lamp head. For added customization, choose from four color temperatures and two wattage options. Available in black or white finishes, these luminaires offer a variety of accessories and come in 2-foot, 4-foot, and 8-foot track lengths to suit different space requirements.

TruWave provides the closest artificial lighting to natural sunlight while using less energy. PAR38’s special design reduces harsh blue light, helping to minimize eye fatigue and support healthier sleep patterns. Unlike most high-CRI lighting options that sacrifice efficiency, TruWave maintains excellent color quality without compromising performance. 


With its CCT Select feature, you can easily choose from five color temperatures using a simple toggle switch on the lamp. Additionally, the OPTI-SELECT function lets you customize the light spread with your choice of 15°, 25°, or 40° beam angles.

The OPTI-SELECT Flood joins our innovative Opti-Select product family as the latest addition. It is designed for outdoor use including security, events, construction sites, sports venues, architecture, and emergencies. Voltage compatibility is available in 120-347V and 277-480V. With selectable CCT between 3000K, 4000K, or 5000K on-site, its wattage comes in five sizes, and each allows three options from 15W up to 470W.

This light offers a high lumen output ranging from 2,175 to 68,150 lumens. The beam angle is adjustable, with lower-wattage models featuring a DIP switch for 55°, 75°, or 90° angles, while higher-wattage models allow screwdriver adjustments or optional narrow beams. Unlike traditional fixtures, there’s no need to open the unit or swap lenses. It simply adjusts for precise light targeting.

All models come with a flexible mounting system. The 30W and 60W versions include a knuckle and trunnion for installation, while the 140W, 300W, and 470W models use a slip fitter and trunnion. An optional yoke mount is also available for added versatility.
Photocell functionality varies by model. The 30W, 60W, and 140W versions have a built-in switchable photocell, while the 300W and 470W models use a 3-pin NEMA connector with a shorting cap, requiring an optional photocell purchase.

These lights are UL, FCC, and RoHS certified, rated IP65 for wet locations, and backed by a five-year warranty.
 

The lighting industry isn’t short on innovation, but too many products still fall short of solving real-world problems. OPTI-SELECT focuses on the specific frustrations of its commercial customers. Here’s how it directly addresses those pain points.

Traditional lighting setups require a different SKU for each combination of wattage, beam angle and color temperature. This results in warehouses stocked with dozens of variations of the same product family. That’s a logistics and inventory nightmare for distributors, and a planning burden for contractors. However, OPTI-SELECT eliminates this clutter. With fewer SKUs, it means less inventory cost and faster fulfillment.

Lighting specs often change. A client requests a different color temperature last-minute. A beam angle doesn’t suit the updated space layout. If the wrong fixture is already ordered or installed, it means delays and extra costs.

With OPTI-SELECT, there is no need to return. Contractors and facility managers can tweak the fixture on-site, minimizing waste and maximizing uptime.

Customization usually adds hassles. Changing lenses, opening up lights, and adjusting drivers takes time and can lead to mistakes. When you have to do this for many fixtures on a job, labor costs go way up.

OPTI-SELECT makes it easy. With simple sliding dials or toggle switches, you can adjust settings in seconds.

In commercial lighting, success is measured by more than just lumens. The lighting choice needs to serve the real-world challenge. OPTI-SELECT is the lighting solution that ticks every box. In the past, a single lighting job might require multiple SKUs. OPTI-SELECT changes that equation. It condenses what used to be 10, 15, or even 20+ SKUs into a single field-adjustable fixture.

It’s not just about light output or design. It’s about helping professionals do more with less stock and more productivity. Whether you’re managing inventory or bidding on a large project, LEDVANCE’s OPTI-SELECT is a smarter choice.

1. Who benefits from OPTI-SELECT?
Electrical contractors can order fewer products and fix spec issues right on-site. This cuts installation time and reduces costly jobsite delays. Facility managers can standardize lighting across all properties and easily adapt it over time without buying new fixtures. This simplifies maintenance and reduces long-term costs. Distributors and wholesalers can streamline inventory while offering clients flexible, future-ready lighting solutions. It also minimizes the risk of unsold products.
2. How to use OPTI-SELECT in real applications?

• Large Retail Chain: Each area has different lighting needs but now requires only one product SKU to serve them all.
• Commercial Renovation: An outdated office park undergoes a lighting retrofit. Instead of a mix of legacy fixtures, the contractor installs OPTI-SELECT luminaires across all areas.
• University Campus: The facilities team simplifies outdoor lighting maintenance by standardizing OPTI-SELECT. The same Area Light is used for roadways, quad spaces, and emergency paths.
