The K56 Paragon Luminaire An Illustrious Past Probably the most versatile of all ornamental luminaires available in the first three or four decades of the 20th century, the K56 was originally used as a post top, a pendant and, on occasion, even a floodlight. It first appeared during the First World War, achieving instant approval as an acceptable alternate to the ever-popular Acorns. It figured largely in the first integrated street lighting system of Cleveland, Ohio and, over the next 30 years, it was produced and sold coast to coast by at least three major manufacturers. Variously known as the Tallmadge Lantern, Tudor, Edgewater, Octagonal and Cleveland, it graced the streets and parks of literally thousands of communities right across the continent.

All Illuminating Future King Luminaire has elected to revive the original GE nomenclature of the “Octagonal Novalux Form 56”. The Octagonal today is available in the Cleveland version (without spurs) and as the Tudor (with spurs). While the physical appearance of the K56 is completely authentic, King Luminaire has totally redesigned the optical system, offering excellent photometric performance in IES Type III & V patterns with a wide variety of HID light sources. The K56-I with an internal glass refractor was the original HID optical system. The K56-E, introduced in the 70's with the external prismatic refractor panels, was the next optical improvement to be introduced. Today, in response to the ever-growing concern for light control, King has developed two innovative optical systems, both of which offer a cutoff classification. The K56-VL1 with a louvered reflector system and the K56-VL2 with a segmented reflector both offer high performance with a cutoff classification that meets most luminance requirements and provides excellent efficiency with the low glare. The versatility, now available with the four optical systems of the K56 Octagonal Luminaire offers the beauty of yester-year with the superior lighting performance required to meet the demanding lighting standards of today.

Choosing the Right Optical System

LAMP BY OTHERS

In selecting which of the K56 optical systems is right for your project, numerous items, besides the luminaire's lighting characteristics, need to be considered. Glare:

Luminaires must provide the ability to see, not just light the ground.

Purpose:

Consideration must be given to the purpose of the lighting. (i.e. roadway or

HINGED LID WITH ROTARY LATCH FOR TOOL-LESS ACCESS TO OPTICAL CHAMBER AND BALLAST

area lighting and if roadway, which type)

Ambiance:

Light standards provide the finishing architectural touch - 24 hours a day.

Safety:

The finished project must meet all codes and ordinances.

Uplight:

Consider the project's environment and design accordingly.

Light Trespass: Put light in the right places, not in private areas or bedroom windows. Budget:

Consider both the initial capital investment and, especially, the ongoing maintenance costs.

Power Usage: Use as few assemblies as is practical. With the above points in mind and using the requisite IES files, the lighting desginer will be enabled to make an educated decision as to which optical system will be most suitable for any given project.
