The HUNZA® SafeTouch™ 150 inground uplighter has been designed and developed not only to produce optically pure light but also to achieve the lowest possible operating temperatures and energy consumption.
This luminaire is extremely tough, durable and waterproof, making it ideal for installation in public spaces and large-scale projects.
Public safety is the primary objective in the construction of SafeTouch™ 150. A revolutionary, new mounting canister substantially increases heat transfer into the ground rather than the luminaire, allowing all exposed surfaces to operate at the coolest possible temperature. This canister provides solid and secure mounting for the luminaire as well as an effortless installation system for the contractor.
Energy conservation is paramount. SafeTouch™ 150 metal halide luminaires feature the exclusive use of electronic ballasts to produce minimal heat with maximum energy efficiency and reliability. Electronic ballasts deliver 30% longer lamp life and have a significantly better ‘end of life’ control of the lamp compared with magnetic ballasts.
The SafeTouch™ 150 range offers many choices of light source, including metal halide, mini white son (sodium) and halogen. Accessories include coloured lenses, asymmetric lenses and hex louvers.
