Camber is designed to be seen both day and night. Its daytime form is an eclectic blend of curvilinear and rectilinear lines accentuated by structurally expressive components. As such, Camber becomes an accent element for a broad range of contemporary architectural schemes. Camber is strongly three dimensional, casting interesting wall shadows and creating soft gradations on its own components. Camber will enhance any facade.
Camber provides a unique array of functional and aesthetic illumination. Its primary light distribution is up and down, with the down light providing building perimeter and entrance illumination. The up light is for architectural features such as overhangs and projections. However, if upward light is not needed, Camber is available with fixed or adjustable indirect reflectors to redirect light downward. Camber also lights its surrounding wall, and its own surfaces, all with a fully shielded lamp to eliminate glare.
Camber is an eclectic design consisting of curvilinear, rectilinear and structural components.Available in five models, Camber is meant to be seen, and should be considered an accent element to the building, complementing the architecture with strong three dimensional forms in a contemporary design.
Camber is a functional luminaire with each model offering unique lighting solutions.The functional aspects of Camber’s illumination are down lighting for perimeters and entrances, up lighting for overhangs and projections, and wall illumination for visual accent.
Since Camber is designed to be an aesthetic and functional accent to the architecture, it has been sized to balance performance objectives with pedestrian scale. As such, its ideal mounting heights are 8’ to 12’.
Camber engineering places strong emphasis on ease of installation and maintenance. The Ballast Housing is mounted to the wall independent of the Fixture. Four mounting holes are provided to secure the Ballast Housing to the wall as code requires for the wall type. To free both hands for wiring, the Fixture Module hangs on slip hinges.
Access to the glass lamp enclosure is accomplished by swinging open the Glare Shield. The fully gasketed lamp enclosure is unscrewed allowing the lamp to be replaced. At the same time, cleaning of the fixture exterior can readily be accomplished.
Camber’s Glare Shield has been engineered to allow vertical adjustment. The factory preset is the centered position which provides approximately 45 degrees of lamp cutoff for both up and down light throw. If the Glare Shield is moved downward, the down light narrows while the up light broadens. The opposite happens when the Glare Shield is moved upward.
Up light is not always desired unless there is something to illuminate. The fixed and adjustable indirect reflectors of the CBR2 and CBR3 will capture the up light and bounce it downward, adding to the ground plane illumination and providing additional fixture glow.
Indirect reflectors are available to redirect upward light downward. The CBR2 is flat and fixed while the CBR3 is a subtle arc and adjustable.
The main Glare Shield has vertical adjustment in five positions which controls up and down light spread and cutoff.
The curved plane of the fixture always reflects light outward creating a soft glow to provide nighttime fixture presence.
