Welcome to IntenCity Parking Garage Lighting

  - Excellent Color Rendition

  - No Flickering or Warm-up Period

  - Friendly lighting keeps your patrons feeling safe

  - No bulb replacements for 50,000 hours (about 6-years)

  - With this Payback Period and Savings - why NOT use LEDs ?
Indoor garage and area lighting with IntenCity-1 means daytime color purity and no bulbs to flicker and burn out.  IntenCity-1 is designed to address numerous light shaping applications with only a few basic models.  The IntenCity luminaire has two independent light emitting 'wings' that may each provide identical patterns, or, may be equipped with different emission patterns as a Hybrid, making a versatile new tool for light shaping applications.  IntenCity's crisp clear color rendering ability comes from its 3,900K CCT warm-white output that compares directly with Metal Halide and Fluorescent lighting.

Unique Requirements

That hot spot beneath conventional luminaires wastes too much energy, while vertical illumination criteria requires more light at higher places.  Most visual tasks occur in areas well above the floor, and we must see vertical surfaces for navigation and signage that may be 5 or 6 feet high. 

Vertical surface illumination and the need to light critical task areas above the floor not only makes sense, it's suggested by the NPA (National Parking Association) and the IESNA RP20 Standard.  The lighting designer will soon be aware that garage vertical footcandle requirements will send light into neighboring parking slots, the design challenge is a 3-D lighting system and not a single luminaire.  For visual comfort and ambience, and to reduce the cave-like appearance caused by a dark ceiling, IntenCity GL Series garage luminaires also provide uplight for ceiling illumination.
