Contemporary
The contemporary
fixtures (to the right) meet IES standards for cutoff type optics
to address requirements for glare control, light trespass and
light pollution. Other options for greater light control include
flat lenses, lightly diffused lenses, and houseside shields.

Period
The period
fixtures (to the right) address local ordinances for disability
glare. Conventional glass and plastic refractor lensed fixtures
pollute the environment with glare and uncontrolled light. Avoid
light pollution and stray illumination of adjoining areas with
the precision reflector systems built into these traditional fixtures.
|
|
| The
ContraCline fixture shown to the right is compared with a typical
refractor globe. The refractor globe uses the outer lens as a refractive
surface to distribute the light. The result is uncontrolled light
producing glare and less illumination on the ground. The ContaCline's
patented reflector system directs more usable light on the ground
without the glare of a refractor. |
