London - Designed specifically for international high definition sports television broadcasting, the new Altis high performance discharge floodlight from Thorn Lighting is now available with a guaranteed “flicker-free” system compatible with electronic gear. Combined with its patented high performance optic, Altis meets all the requirements of super slow motion sports TV and HDTV. Altis features a unique optic comprising a patented rotational reflector made of four side petals, a baffle and a rear reflector. It provides a unrivalled combination of photometries to meet the highest levels of vertical illuminance. Altis uses the latest short arc double-ended lamps that provide improved lumen output as well as the high colour rendering index and colour temperatures which are needed for a high quality viewing experience. Excellent thermal management and a well thought out mechanical construction further ensure high consistency and stability of light over time. Altis’ lean and lightweight design facilitates integration in both new and refurbished structures. It also has several features for ease of installation and maintenance, including tool-free lamp replacements, rear access to the ignitor box, aiming sights on both sides and a precision aiming device. The Champion sports floodlight is specially developed for areas where the control of obtrusive light is critical. Champion lighting schemes can comply with best practice standards with best-in class control of off-pitch lighting levels. The product is designed to be installed without tilting, thereby reducing artificial sky glow, glare and intrusive light. The optical concept is built around the flat glass concept and integrated visor for total control of glare and obtrusive light (0 cd at 90°). Champion offers a variety of light distributions from one installed position. With its 3 adjustable lamp positions any aiming required to optimise uniformity can be achieved through the lamp position without the need to tilt the projector, thereby achieving total cut-off of light at 75°. For easier installation and positioning the ignitor box has been moved onto the floodlight body to be less obstructive. The hinged door opens with an automatic power disconnection and now the lamp can also be installed and replaced tool-free. Aiming sights on the top and on the side of the luminaire simplifies the aiming process.
