The K118 Washington Luminaire

A Glorious PastOf the many acorn globes that found their wayonto the city streets of North America in the early20th century, the K118 shape was perhaps themost widely used. Available from at least two ofthe leading streetlight manufacturers of that time,the K118 survived the transition from arc light toincandescent. It fulfilled the two essential criteria ofthe times: it was aesthetically pleasing and its effi-ciency was adequate by the governing standards.Because of its pleasant, well-balanced shape, theK118 has come back into favor as an ornamentalluminaire but, despite updating with various HIDlight sources, this style of globe has never beenconsidered an efficient light... until now!

A Brighter FutureWhile faithfully retaining the authentic historical shapeof the original Washington Luminaire, King nowoffers it with three modern optical systems.

The original HID optical system was the ever dependable K118-I with an internal glass refractor.King also offers it in two other optical systems,both giving even more sparkling performancecharacteristics at a level usually only associatedwith more utilitarian light fixtures.

The cutoff K118-L louvered reflector providesexcellent lighting performance with minimal glarewhile addressing IES luminance criteria.

The noncutoff K118-E external prismatic refractorputs more light “where you need it” than othercomparable luminaires, making it one of themost cost effective acorns on the market.

With the versatility offered by these three systems,it is clear that King provides an effective solutionto any lighting design problem that might arise.

In selecting which of the K118 optical systems is right foryour project, numerous items, besides the luminaire'slighting characteristics, need to be considered.

Glare: Luminaires must provide the ability to see, not just light the ground.

Purpose: Consideration must be given to the purpose of the lighting. (i.e. roadway vs.

area lighting and if roadway, which type)

Ambiance: Light standards provide the finishing architectural touch - 24 hours a day.

Safety: The project must meet all codes and ordinances.

Uplight: Consider the project's environment and design accordingly.

Light Trespass: Put light in the right places, not in private areas or bedroom windows.

Budget: Consider both the initial capital investment and, especially, the ongoing maintenance costs.

Power Usage: Use as few assemblies as is practical.
