Questions by product category — linear fixtures, floodlights, aquatic fixtures, flex products, and more.
What IP rating do Linear XTR fixtures carry?
Linear XTR fixtures are rated IP66, making them suitable for direct exposure to rain, high-pressure wash-down, and coastal environments. This rating ensures protection against powerful water jets and complete dust ingress prevention. For submersible or harsh environment applications, consider the Aqua Linear product line instead.
What CCT options are available across the Adapt Linear family?
Adapt Linear fixtures are available in static white CCTs of 2200K, 2400K, 2700K, 3000K, 3500K, and 4000K. The Adapt Linear DMX variant adds tunable white capability spanning 2200K–6000K for dynamic CCT adjustment. Color versions offer Spectrum RGBW or RGBA engine options depending on the specific model configuration.
What does HO, SO, and EO mean in Dyna Drum model names?
These designations indicate output tiers: HO (High Output) delivers maximum lumen output for large-scale architectural lighting, SO (Standard Output) provides mid-range performance for typical commercial applications, and EO (Economy Output) offers lower profile illumination for smaller projects. Note that for the newer generations the first letter represents the output class and the second, the fixture generation. e.g. Dyna Drum H3 is the high output, 3rd generation of Dyna Drum.
What is the difference between Dyna Drum White, Color, and SCS models?
Dyna Drum White models produce static white output in a single CCT. Color models use specialized Quad color RGBW mixing for saturated colors plus white tones. SCS (Spectrum Color System) models feature individual color LEDs for narrow beam options in RGBW or RGBA, and dynamic white options.
What beam angles are available for Unity S1 and H1 floodlights?
Unity S1 and H1 floodlights offer interchangeable spread lens options in 10° x 10º, 10° x 60°, 20º x 20º, 30° x 30°, 40º x 40º, 30° x 60°, 50° x 50°, 80° x 80°, 100° x 100°. The spread lens modules can be field-swapped, allowing adjustment after installation if project requirements change.
What IP rating do Dyna Drum fixtures carry?
Dyna Drum Gen 3 fixtures are rated IP67, providing complete protection against dust ingress, powerful water jets from any direction, and temporary submersion protection. This makes them suitable for exterior architectural lighting, landscape applications, and locations subject to rain, irrigation overspray, or periodic wash-down. For submerged applications, please consider the Aqua Drum series instead.
What is the maximum continuous run length for Flex Tube products?
Maximum run length varies by Flex Tube model and depends on output level and color configuration. Standard single-color Flex Tube SC can run up to 23' / 7M from a single power feed. Higher-output HO variants and color-changing models require shorter runs. Always consult the specific product data sheet for exact run lengths based on your installation voltage and configuration.
What IP ratings are available for Flex Tube products?
Most Flex Tube products are IP68 rated and can handle temporary submersion. Flex Graze and Flex Tube Mini are IP67 and suitable for most any outdoor application. The silicone housing allows for a wide range of temperature operation that can run day or night.
What is the maximum submersion depth for Aqua Drum fixtures?
Aqua Drum fixtures are rated for permanent submersion up to 6 meters (20 feet) water depth per their IP68 rating. All power connections must use properly rated connectors or junction boxes depending on where the power splice needs to happen.
What power entry method do Aqua Drum fixtures use?
Aqua Drum fixtures feature factory-sealed cable glands with pre-wired leads for connection to remote driver locations. The cable entry is permanently sealed at the factory to maintain IP68 integrity—field modification of cable length voids the submersion rating. Plan cable routing and length requirements before ordering to ensure proper reach to dry driver locations.
Can Aqua Graze fixtures be used in chlorinated pool water?
Aqua Linear fixtures are designed for freshwater, chlorinated, brominated, and saltwater pool environments. For chlorinated or brominated pool installations, please consult Acclaim technical support regarding chemical compatibility and any applicable warranty limitations specific to pool chemistry environments. Aqua Series fixtures are not rated for ocean or seawater immersion.
What IK impact rating do Aqua Drum fixtures carry?
Aqua Drum fixtures feature IK10 impact resistance, the highest rating on the IK scale, indicating protection against 20 joules of impact energy (equivalent to a 5kg mass dropped from 400mm). This makes them suitable for public fountain installations where vandalism or accidental impact is a concern. The heavy-duty housing and tempered glass lens contribute to this rating.
What control protocols does Pixel Graze support?
Pixel Graze supports standard DMX512 for direct control and can integrate with DMX-over-Ethernet protocols (Art-Net, sACN) when paired with a Pharos control system. RDM is supported for remote configuration and monitoring. All addressing can be set remotely via RDM.
What optic options are available for Cylinder One Spectrum?
Cylinder One Spectrum offers narrow (20°), medium (40°), and wide (65°) beam distributions. The optic is specified at order but can be field-changeable on standard models thanks to the quick fit reflector design.
What is the IP rating for Cylinder One fixtures?
Cylinder One fixtures are rated IP40 for standard indoor dry location installation in ceilings and soffits.
How do I select the correct AL Driver model for my fixture load?
Please consult your Acclaim representative for a specific layout for your project, however, as a general rule you can calculate total wattage of connected fixtures, then select an AL Driver with capacity exceeding that total by at least 20% for headroom. AL Driver 200/400/800 are high-capacity models for large fixture arrays. Verify voltage and power consumption compatibility matches your design.
What dimming protocols do ALPS power supplies support?
ALPS power supplies do not offer control and are for static power applications only. For dimmable options, please consider the MLE series for 0-10V and mains dimming applications, and the AL Driver series for 0-10V, DMX, and DALI applications.
