Product

Offering

Visual Appeal

On

first inspection,

the

most striking

feature

of

the Solus series

is its

smooth,

highly

sculpted

contour.

The oblate spheroid design

motif

is

carried

through from

the iop cover

of

the

unit

to

its

specially contoured

convex lens.

ln

addition

to

being an

exceptionally

pleasing

form, its

shape

offers

advantages in

its

wind

resis-

tance characteristics over bulkier cube

or

cylindrical

forms.

Two Sizes

Solus

is

offered

in

two sizes to

make

use

of a broad range of sources.

Their

pleasing

design and

low

profile

are

perfectly proportioned

to their

intended mounting

heights

compared

to comparable cube

type

luminaires,

presenting

a

pleasing

daytime

appearance.

Broad Application

In addition

to the unique

Solus Type

V

Square

optical system,

Solus

provides

additional lighting distribution

patterns

and a broad array of source options.

Function

Patented Solus

Type

V

Distribution

ln common with vertica lamp

lurninaires, Solus collects as much

light as

possible

from the arc tube

of an HID

lamp.

Beg nning

with

a conventional,

h

gh

efficiency

Type V reflector system,

light is directed

from ihe

lum naire to

vedical ang es as high as 55'. Unlike

other conventlonal

reflectors, however,

the top of the reflector

is open.

Light from

the

upper

port

on of the

arc

tube,

usually

wasted

in conven-

tional luminaires, is red rected by an

upper

collecting

reflector

to

distribuiing

reflectors in the housing and

lens

frame

to

provide

add

tionaL high angle

ight,

giving

the Solus

Type V

optics

its

exceptionally

hlgh main beam candle-

powe'level

and spac rg

caoabrlites.

The

horizontal

amp

position,

in

combination

with

precisely placed

reflecior

facets

and

the

lens

frame,

cut

off

projected

light

within

10" of

the

main

candlepower

beam.

Performance

Glare

Control

Solus

offers superior

glare

control

in

all of

its

distribution

types,

a

critical

component of lighting

performance.

As an

example.

;n

a candlepower

dis-

tribution chart

of

the industry standard

vertical

lamp Type V

luminaire,

there

is

a

considerably

greater

amount

of

light

projected

above 80

deg.

than

with

Solus.

This light

is

considered

"disability

glare"

in that it inhibits

visibility,

rather

than enhancing

it.

Even

Area

lllumination

Again

using

the unique

Solus

Type V

Square distribution, Solus

provides

far

more

even

illumination

ar

greater

distance between

poles

than the

horizontal

lamp

cutolf

luminaire.

The obvious

advantage

is economy.

With

the increased spacing capabilites

of

the

Solus,

fewer

poles

need

to

be

installed to meet any

given

illumina-

tion

criteria.

The savings

in

material,

labor, and energy

consumption

will

be

substantial

using

Solus.
