Acclaim Lighting Introduces “HIP” Wall Wash Solution
July 11, 2008... Acclaim Lighting of Los Angeles, California USA, has introduced an exterior wall wash luminaire named the X-Bar HIP. The company indicates that it is called the Hip because it is a high performance and IP-rated fixture. The company says the luminaire is “Hip” to lighting users’ many needs. The X-Bar Hip comes in both AC and DC models in RGB (red, green, and blue color-mixing), CW (cool white), or WW (warm white).
Every version of the X-Bar HIP is equipped with 36 high-power 1W Luxeon LEDs from Philips Lumileds. The LEDs work with its standard lenticular lens system to produce a 10 foot x 40 foot beam angle. According to the company, this means you can set this narrow bar right up against the wall, and it will evenly light an area as large as a 10’ x 40’. This capability makes it ideal for long throw wall wash applications. The company notes that all versions of the X-Bar HIP are DMX compatible and feature built-in programs and dimming.
The AC version reportedly comes with its own internal power supply and can take direct power/data. Its linkable up to 20 units in a line from 100-120v or 40 units on 208-240v, and it can be controlled via DMX to create customized lighting programs. It also offers Acclaim’s XBR1 set-up controller which gives access to its built-in programs. The company boasts that the rugged and durable, the X-Bar HIP AC is rated at a hardy IP 65, so it can withstand dust and precipitation. The company says that its IP rating makes it the perfect lighting solution for large building exteriors, as well as interior wall lengths.
Acclaim says that like its AC counterpart, the DC version of the X-Bar Hip is also outdoor-worthy with an IP 65 rating. Additionally, the DC model is available in an even tougher IP 68 marine-grade finish that’s ideal for underwater and seaside applications. See the Current Industry News Summary
