    The hottest luminaire, the coolest LEDs in the industryTM

      ...may be understood by an Engineer.   Let's explain:

Heat is a problem with LEDs.  You've heard they are cool, but that means their light has no heat.  However, junction heat reduces their light output and life.  Watt for Watt, LEDs produce as much heat as an incandescent bulb.  A bulb is actually cooler because it can radiate heat as IR energy, an LED cannot.

Our standard luminaire has nearly 800 square inches of heat dissipating surface area, that's over 10 square inches per watt.
Each IntenCity LED slug has less than 1°C rise above the heatsink.

The graph illustrates that cooling 10 more degrees can add many thousands of hours to its usable life.





    Under-driving LEDs for maximum life

Did you know that many LEDs have different current ratings for light output and lumen maintenance?   These are opposing qualities.

IntenCity LEDs are driven at lower current levels to get the best balance of life and lumens. 

IntenCity LED lighting = lowest cost of ownership in the industry.






    The Luminaire System

Always clean on the inside
Most outdoor luminaires are protected from ordinary weather, but have you ever seen an HID fixture that is clean inside the bulb chamber?       Certainly not.

HID fixtures breathe because of the extreme temperatures during operation.  This brings dirt of all kinds right into the luminaire where it remains, resting on the lens until emptied during maintenance.

The IntenCity luminaire produces very little heat inside the lighting unit and has gasket-sealed lenses, ensuring that dirt or even water from pressure cleaning can never intrude.

Mounting is a Breeze

How awkward is a conventional luminaire during that installation?
There is nothing conventional about IntenCity luminaires.

The IntenCity mounting system goes inside the mounting pipe.  Feed the wires directly into the wiring guide, slip the insert right into the pipe.  Tighten the expander with a single knob, and no matter the size of pipe, the coating or the angle, the IntenCity is always secure.

The luminaire fitting closes the pipe opening, of whatever size, to keep out those dreaded little varmints.  The wiring connections are inside the main compartment, clean and dry, and entirely isolated from the light source.

Built to Last

Why use hundred-thousand-hour LEDs in a 5-year system?

All IntenCity luminaires use stainless corrosion resistant fasteners, and all structural elements are anodized or E-Coated. 

IntenCity's integral photocell is not only proprietary, it is solid-state and rated for millions of cycles or hundreds of thousands of hours.


IntenCity is engineered for ease of installation and to be on duty for many, many years.  You need not spend any more during all those years while it's saving your bottom line.
