by Shane Henson — April 29, 2013—Designed as an ideal replacement for 70-watt metal halide fixtures, Amerlux’s new Cylindrix IV Vertical LED (C4TV) is a high-power track head for accent and display lighting in big-box retail, supermarket and commercial buildings with high ceilings.
According to Amerlux, a provider of retail and commercial lighting solutions, the Cylindrix IV LED offers a lower-wattage, high-lumen delivery solution with various beam distributions, color temperatures and other accessory options. The fixture is suitable for higher mounting heights and capable of punching through ambient light to highlight retail displays.
The 66-watt Cylindrix IV track head is actively cooled and produces nearly 3,500 delivered/maintained lumens with 16,308 center beam candlepower (CBCP), 50,000 hours of life (>70 percent of initial lumens @ 50,000), making it an ideal replacement for the 70-watt (78-system watts) metal halide fixtures. The product is also available in a wide variety of beams: Narrow Flood (22-degree), Flood (30-degree), and Wide Flood (40-degree), for various in-store applications. Three correlated color temperatures (CCTs) are offered: 2700K and 4000K with an 80 color rendering index (CRI), and 3000K with a 90+ CRI.
A deeply recessed 66-watt LED is used for enhanced visual comfort and control, as well as an integrated heat sink with active cooling, a control board that shuts off the active cooling when it is not needed to maximize energy savings, and high-performance interchangeable reflector optics that can be replaced tool-free in the field.
The Cylindrix IV LED luminaire can be track or surface canopy mounted with “non-slip aiming” for a vibration-proof, secure fit. The fixture is designed with a vertical tilt (0 to 90 degrees) and 360-degree rotation, to allow for precise aiming. The track head can also be mounted to a track or busway and operates on one, two- and three-circuit 120-277 volt systems, says Amerlux.
