WARP9TM
Fixture/Background photo
Low Visual Signature Luminaire WARP9 is a new concept in luminaire design – visual stealth. Typical site lighting attempts to embellish, decorate, or adorn, often beyond the original architectural intent. WARP9 was conceived and developed with an entirely different directive. WARP9 was designed to disappear from the site, camouflage itself within its surroundings, and avoid detection from daytime visual perception. WARP9 is the antithesis of massive, showy, recognizable, and ornamental design, allowing architecture to remain visually dominant as it was originally intended. WARP9 is a concept that is long overdue, yet one that is light years ahead of its time.

Site/Roadway Zone
Pedestrian Zone
Parking lots and roadways require luminaires on 20'-40' poles to efficiently light these large areas. Therefore, this lighting sets the design style for all other lighting zones as you progress towards the building. Select WARP9L large version luminaires with round poles for this zone.
As an observer leaves the parking lot and transitions to pedestrian areas, poles should decrease in height to 10' – 16'. In addition, luminaires should decrease in scale, as human perception of proportion is keen at this level. Select WARP9’s small version luminaires for this zone, and select a finish that will integrate well with the fixture’s primary background elements.

Landscape/Pathway Zone
Building/Perimeter Zone
Near the building, luminaires should continue to disappear, blending into the landscape and hardscape elements. Select from a wide range of low voltage, line voltage, and LED landscape luminaires, or Kim Lighting’s VRB and GEM bollard series to integrate with WARP9’s curvilinear form.
Avoid installing pole-mounted luminaires close to the building, as they tend to dominate the architecture. However, if required, WARP9 is the best solution to integrate with architectural proximity. Kim Lighting suggests WARP9 wall mounted luminaires to reduce daytime detection of building mounted equipment.

WARP9TM
A Concealment Approach WARP9’s efficient and low profile compound curve design results in a close synergy between aerodynamic performance, illumination performance, and its ability to limit cross section visibility. When installed with the right scale, finish and placement, WARP9’s sophisticated and complex camouflage scheme achieves a unique level of concealment and subtle presence never before offered in an architectural luminaire.
Product Overview: Kim Lighting’s WARP9 series offers a complete package of luminaire sizes and options to integrate seamlessly into any environment, natural or man-made. Choose from two housing sizes in electronic or magnetic ballasted versions, and select one of four distinct light distributions and a wide variety of mounting, fixture, and finish options to complete your WARP9 visual stealth concept.

Low Visual Signature Technology DESIGN LOGIC:
The Disappearing Act Modern technology produced Kim Lighting’s new WARP9 luminaires, but the camouflage principles behind it were learned instinctively from nature thousands of years ago. WARP9’s fundamental approach is the same as those used by wildlife and hunters for millennia: hide, blend, and deceive. There are two basic elements of camouflage: shape and color. WARP9 capitalizes on both of these principles in unique ways to reduce perceptual attraction and luminaire detection. First, WARP9 utilizes a computer generated low-profile compound curve design to create a natural compact top arc that reflects the sky from normal viewing angles. This breaks up the luminaire’s outline, disrupting its silhouette and evening out its 3-dimensional surface, making it more difficult to see as one object. This reduces visual mass, and allows the viewer to envision the entire site without disruptive and massive luminaire shapes to draw attention away from architecture and landscape. Second, WARP9 utilizes a hollow mounting arm that gracefully blends with the housing, and minimizes its visual signature. Kim Lighting has also developed a unique color scheme to further reduce the luminaire’s visual signature.
6 KIM LIGHTING
VISUAL STEALTH TECHNOLOGY™:
New Stealth Gray™ Finish Color is essential to camouflage, as its similarity to the primary background will tend to break up that area of the outline and blend the shape away from normal detection. Over 100 painted samples were tested and reviewed to determine how well they matched the predominant colors of contemporary architecture, typical horizons, and northern hemisphere skies. These were then narrowed down to a few prototype samples that were field tested for visual acuity, perception attraction, and detection reduction. The result is Kim Lighting’s new Stealth Gray™ finish option featuring a light gray hue suitable for any outdoor environment. However, designers can select from a wide variety of standard and custom finishes depending on application and immediate background surface coloration.

AERODYNAMICS:
Small Size • Low EPA Specify Kim Lighting’s new Stealth Gray™ finish to further reduce the fixture’s visual signature. Featuring a light gray semi-gloss surface, Stealth Gray™ is a result of an extensive study of finishes and paints for typical application scenarios in natural or architectural environments.
A welcomed result of WARP9’s thin design is a very low EPA rating, suitable for installation in almost any environment, including high wind, coastal, and hurricane prone locations. Kim Lighting recommends mounting WARP9 luminaires on round poles to further improve aerodynamics and lend to the fixture’s camouflaged appearance. Round poles have less visual signature than square poles. WARP9 Small Housing and Arm EPA (WP9SE): 0.52 WARP9 Large Housing and Arm EPA (WP9LE): 0.95
Note: Pole selection and height will also determine final EPA allowance for your application. KIM LIGHTING 7

Advanced Performance Features
High Performance • Low Profile
Full Cutoff: StarView Compliant
WARP9’s super low profile housing does not mean a compromise in illumination performance. In fact, an entire new series of reflector systems was specifically developed through a highly detailed computer study of efficiency and lamp output maximization. These new systems feature highly specular 95% reflective Alzak finishing, tooled and assembled by hand at Kim Lighting’s California facilities to maintain the highest quality and performance standards. Choose from IES Type II, III, IV, and V Sq distributions, rotatable for any application or distribution requirement.
Kim Lighting's StarView products meet IES and IDA full cutoff requirements for use where light pollution or light trespass may be a concern, and to promote the enjoyment of celestial visibility at night. WARP9 utilizes a horizontal lamp orientation with a flat glass lens to produce full cutoff with zero light above 90° horizontal. Therefore, all WARP9 fixtures are StarView compliant and are approved for full cutoff applications in any jurisdiction. WARP9 also offers a house-side shield option where light trespass and control of spill light onto adjacent property may be a concern.

Advanced Heat Management
Rotatable Optics
WARP9’s die-cast housing is a homogeneous component in which every feature has a functional purpose. HID lamps produce significant heat, yet are operated by temperature sensitive electrical components. Because of its compact, low profile size, new methods of controlling heat were required for WARP9. A combination of cooling ribs, ventilation, and a solid barrier wall between the optical chamber and the ballast compartment are employed to control operating temperatures for maximum component life.
All WARP9 reflectors are field rotatable in 90° increments. This allows design flexibility in producing very high illumination levels for special applications, or for maintaining a consistent fixture orientation throughout the site. Each reflector is labeled to show the orientation of the light pattern, and can be field adjusted after initial installation. For applications requiring high light levels, such as sports facilities, auto dealerships, or service stations, reflectors can be aimed in parallel to double illumination levels.

Unique Frameless Lens WARP9 employs a unique frameless lens for several purposes. For improved camouflaging, the frameless lens lends to the sleek profile and reduced mass of the housing envelope, also reducing the amount of geometrical and straight lines that tend to attract the human eye. Second, the frameless lens allows for a consistent and positive gasket seal to completely isolate the optical chamber from moisture, air, and insect entry. Finally, fewer component pieces reduce overall fixture weight and improve allowable EPA.
