Solus
At the heart of the Solus system is
the unique Solus Type V square distri"
bution
reflector
train.
This
patented
optical design utilizes all of the light
from High lntensity Discharge lamps,
projecting
it in the most
effic ent
patterr
while
redrcirg
systen
glare.
Solus is offered in two sizes, in [,4etal
Halide
and Hiqh Pressure Sodium
sources up to
1000
Watts.
Along with
advancing
the
state of the
art optically,
Solus'
advanced
styling
offers
advantages
in
both
mounting
versat lity and aesthetic adaptability.
In additlon to the
Type V
square
optical system, Solus incorporaies
reflectors for Types ll, lll,
and
Forward
Throw
(Type
lV)
distributions.
Thus
Solus
can
satisfy all
the requirements
of the most demanding site lighting
project
in a single,
proportionally
scaled
housinq
enciosure.

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 top
cover
of the unit to its specially contoured
convex lens. In 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.
To
provide
the
perfect
solution to any
site lighting
problem
IES Type
ll,
lll,
and Forward Throw optical systems
round out the high
performance
versa-
tiliiy of the series, enabling Solus to
be used
in
all
facets
of outdoor

lighting.

Patented Solus
Type

Distribution
ln common with vedical lamp
lumlnaires, Solus
collects
as much
lght as
possible
from lhe arc iube
ol an HID lamp.
Beg nning
w
th a conventional, h
gh
efficiency
Type V reflector
system,
light
is
directed
from
the urninaire to
vert cal angles as h
gh
as
55'.
Unlike
other conventional reflectors, however,
the top
of
the reflector
is
open.
Llght from the upper
portion
of
the
arc tube, usually wasted in conven'
tjona luminaires,
is
redirected
by
an
upper colectlng
reflector
to distributing
ref
ectors in the housjng
and
lens
frame to
provide
add
tional hlgh
angle
light,
g
v
ng the
Solus
Type
V optics
its
exceptionally high main beam candle-
power
level
and spacing capabrl
ries.
The horizontal lamp
position,
in
combination
with
precisely placed
reflector facets
and
the
ens
frame,
cut off projected light
wiihin
10" of
the main candlepower beam.
Th
s
provides
precise glare
contro not
poss
ble in cornparably
performing
vertical lamp luminaires.
Auxiliary
ref
ectors enhance the
d
stribution
to
provide
the
desirable
symmetr c square distribution,
provid
ng higher levels
of
llumination
and
bener rniforrnity r
gnd patterns.
The convex lens mainta ns the archi-
tectural
theme
of
the
housing and
min mizes
interna
reflectlon.
This
assists
in maintaining
the
excellent
uniformity of distribution
that
s
the
key to
"seeabi

Performance
Glare
Control
Solus
offers
superior
glare
control
in
all of
its
distribution types, a critical
component of lighting
performance.
As
an example,
in 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
at
greater
distance between
poles
than the
horizontal lamp cutoff luminaire.
The obvious advantage is
economy.
With the increased spacing
capabilites
of the Solus, lewer
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.
