Modern architecture often

integrates curvilinear, rectilinear,
classical, and neoclassical
styles into a single structure.
The eclectic shape of The
Archetype readily adapts to
and universally complements
contemporary architectural
design. Lighting performance,
materials, robust construction,
and the latest technology
combine to make The
Archetype the state-of-the-art
luminaire for outdoor cutoff
lighting. The AR (Large
Archetype) is available in HID
lamp modes up to 400 watts.
The SAR (Small Archetype) has
been scaled to complement the
larger model at lower mounting
heights. Available up to 175
watts, the smaller model is ideal
for pathways and courtyards
where fixtures are nearer
human scale. When used
together, the large and small
Archetype provide a logical
transition from parking lot to
building
entrance
by
decreasing luminaire scale
and maintaining a consistent
design.

SITE / ROADWAY ZONE

PEDESTRIAN ZONE

Parking lots and roadways require luminaires on 20' - 40' poles to efficiently light these
large areas. Therefore, this lighting becomes dominant and sets the design and style
for all other lighting as you progress towards the building.

As you leave the parking lot and transition to

pedestrian areas, poles should decrease in
height to 10' - 16'. In addition, luminaires should
decrease in scale, and can have more decorative
features to be appreciated at the pedestrian level.

KIM LIGHTINGS THEORY OF RELATIVITY

The purpose of this guideline is to bring a cohesive look to outdoor
lighting, maximizing lighting efficiency while preserving the
architectural experience. Simply stated, the Kim Theory of Relativity
says Poles belong in parking lots. And, once you leave the parking
lot, the outdoor lighting should become less and less conspicuous
until it becomes an integral part of the architecture. In addition, the
luminaire style and geometry should remain consistent. If this
guideline is utilized, the outdoor lighting will enhance the site and
architecture, bringing unity to the outdoor lighting scheme.

LANDSCAPE / PATH ZONE

BUILDING / PERIMETER ZONE

Near the building, luminaires should begin

to disappear, blending into the landscape
and hardscape elements.

No pole mounted luminaires should ever be used near the building, as they will
dominate the architecture. The only exception would be the use of decorative
luminaires to delineate entrances to the structure. Building mounted, architecturally
compatible fixtures should be almost invisible.

KIM LIGHTING

Design Logic

Architectural Relevance
Architecture controls the
design of an architectural
luminaire. Todays architecture
is eclectic, combining square,
round and neoclassic shapes
into a single structure. The
Archetype is designed to
reflect eclectic form and
outwardly express function.
This variety and purpose has
been beautifully sculptured into
a unified luminaire design that
makes a strong statement
of both aesthetics and
engineering.

The Archetypes slanted nose, undercut ballast compartment

and oval arm combine to balance its directional nature and form.

Round poles provide the

optimum complementary shape
to the Archetype.

The Archetypes eclectic form

is evident in these three views.
From the side, its function is
clearly stated. The bottom view
is rectilinear while the section
is a simple half cylinder. All
elements combine to create a
unified sculptural form that will
integrate with virtually any
architectural environment.

Front View

Side View

Bottom View

KIM LIGHTING

The Archetypes directional form is further influenced by its

optics. A downward and outward light throw is expressed by
corresponding fixture shape.

Aerodynamic Shape
Luminaire shape is the single
most important factor in
determining pole size. Because
poles are often more expensive
than luminaires, a reduction in
pole size can produce
significant savings in overall
cost. Fixture weight has little
influence on pole size; because
wind loading produces the
greatest lateral force. The
aerodynamic shape of the
Archetype generates far less
wind loading than a shoebox
luminaire, thereby permitting
lighter poles to be used. The
aerodynamic shape also
improves the effectiveness of
the cooling ribs.

Coefficient of drag: .70
E.P.A.: 1.2

A Shoebox with same overall dimensions

80 m.p.h. wind force: 56.3 ft-lb
Coefficient of drag: 1.2
E.P.A.: 2.0

Integrated Cooling
The die-cast housing is a
homogeneous body in which
every feature has a functional
purpose.
HID lamps produce heat, yet
are operated by temperaturesensitive electrical components.
Because of its compact size,
new methods of controlling heat
were required for the Archetype.
A combination of cooling ribs
and a solid barrier wall are
employed to control operating
temperatures for maximum
component life.

Cooling ribs double surface

area, providing rapid heat
dissipation. Heat is efficiently
radiated from the fixture top and
carried away by airflow over the
housing.

Primary heat source

A 400 watt lamp produces
bulb temperatures as high as
400C .

An extra-thick barrier wall

separates the optical chamber
from the electrical compartment.
The optical chamber is totally
sealed.

Secondary heat source

The ballast produces heat while
adjacent capacitor and ignitor
components must operate
below 90C. The electrical
compartment also ventilates
through the mounting arm.

Cutoff Optics

Full Cutoff
The Archetype utilizes a horizontal lamp orientation with a flat
glass lens to produce full cutoff with zero light above 90
horizontal. In addition, the reflector system has been carefully
engineered to provide maximum pole spacing with outstanding
visual uniformity. The primary reflector panels are highly specular
to achieve precise lamp arc reflections toward the proper areas on
the ground. Excessive straight-down illumination is avoided by the
elimination of downward reflecting surfaces.

2
1
1. Typical horizontal lamp luminaires produce excessive straightdown illumination in relation to the side throw. This causes poor
uniformity.
2. The Archetypes reflectors have reduced straight-down
illumination with increased side throw. This produces excellent
pole spacing and uniformity.

C
A

A. High-angle maximum candlepower and sharp cutoff are

produced by the smooth specular side panels.
B. A specular peened upper reflector spreads light into the
mid-range, gradually increasing the intensity toward higher
angles while avoiding any low-angle reflections.
C. At low angles, bare lamp illumination is more than adequate.
The elimination of downward reflecting surfaces greatly
increases uniformity.
The Archetype is StarView Compliant.
The term full cutoff as applied to a down facing fixture means
that no portion of the luminaires optical system is visible above
horizontal. The Archetype utilizes a horizontal lamp orientation
and a standard flat clear glass lens to achieve full cutoff
IES designation. The distribution of light is handled entirely
by a precision reflector system engineered for maximum fixture
spacing with outstanding uniformity. All four of the Archetypes
configurations meet StarView full cutoff requirements.

KIM LIGHTING

Kim Lightings StarView products are designated for luminaires

that meet IES full cutoff requirements for use where light pollution
or light trespass may be a concern and to promote the enjoyment
of celestial visibility at night.

KIM LIGHTING

Optical System Features

Rotatable Optics

Totally Sealed Optics

All Archetype reflectors are field rotatable in 90 increments. This

allows design flexibility in producing very high illumination levels
for special applications or for maintaining a consistent fixture
orientation throughout the site. Each reflector is labeled to show
the orientation of the light pattern and can be field adjusted.

Kim optical systems stay clean for two reasons. First, only
one-piece silicone gaskets are used, which have high memory
retentive qualities and very low outgassing. Second, the optical
chamber is completely sealed from all moisture, air and insect
entry both externally and internally.

Moisture, air and insect barrier.

Rotatable reflectors allow design flexibility to maintain a consistent

fixture orientation throughout the site.

For applications requiring

high light levels, such as
tennis courts, and automobile
dealerships, reflectors can be
aimed in parallel to double
illumination levels.

KIM LIGHTING

Seven Mounting Arrangements

Four Light Distributions

Site configuration determines
the combination of light
distributions required to
efficiently illuminate desired
areas. Twenty-five years of
cutoff lighting experience has
proven that four light
distributions satisfy any site
requirement, from parking lots
to courtyards.

Seven mounting configurations

are available using one to four
fixtures per pole, plus single wall
mounting.

The Archetype is available in

four highly efficient light
patterns, combined with seven
mounting arrangements and
rotatable optics for incredible
versatility. In addition, houseside
shields are available for
locations where control of spill
light onto adjacent property is a
concern. See page 17.

Die-Cast Aluminum Components

Durable Powder Coat Finish

The Archetype housing, reflector and door frame are die-cast,

low copper (<0.6% Cu) aluminum alloy for precision and
repeatability. The housing is reinforced at the arm connection,
and cooling ribs are integral with the top surface.
This feature substantially reduces the operating temperatures of
heat-sensitive electrical components.

Kims state-of-the-art powder coat paint system is engineered

to provide the highest quality finish with absolute paint
adhesion under weather extremes. The Super TGIC thermoset
polyester powder coat finish is applied over a titanated zirconium
conversion coating. This finish system exceeds the A.S.T.M.
1000 hour salt spray test, enduring over 2500 hours without failure.

The rigid door frame provides dependable sealing of the optical

chamber through uniform gasket pressure.

Easy Installation

Standard Arm Mount Installation

Extruded arm

The Archetype arm connection

is both clean and strong,
utilizing an internal draw-bolt
system.

Arm Mount Installations utilize

a draw-bolt system concealed
within the arms internal centering
guides.

Inside the pole top, a

reinforcing plate receives the
draw-bolts. A strain relief is
provided for securing the field
wires. The one-piece arm
extrusion has internal bolt
guides which position the arm
during
mounting.
Final
securing is accomplished
inside the fixture using a
socket wrench. Ample access
is provided because the
ballast module and lens frame
snap out.

Lens frame utilizes
stainless steel hinge pins and hanger hooks
for no-tool mounting.

No-Tool Maintenance
To reduce expensive lift-truck rental time, relamping is quickly
accomplished without tools. The lens frame is opened by one latch
located at the front of the housing. The entire electrical module
snaps out without tools, and includes quick-disconnect plugs on all
wiring. A spare module can be quickly inserted to eliminate
downtime, while the old module is repaired and stored for future use.
The lens frame is also removable without tools, providing easy lens
replacement in the unusual event that breakage occurs. For
additional safety during relamping, the door frame is prevented from
lifting out of its hinges when hanging in the normal down position.

and fully radiussed top and bottom. Luminaire-to-pole attachment is
by internal draw bolts, and includes a pole reinforcing plate with wire
strain relief. Arm is circular cut for specified round pole.
Optional Wall Mounting: Large AR model mounted to poured
concrete walls only. A modified support arm is provided with side
access to allow field splices within the arm. A wall embedment
bracket is provided to accept draw bolts, and a trim plate covers the
wall-embedded junction box. All wall mount components are
finished to match the fixture. Small SAR model mounts to 3" or 4"
junction boxes by a cast aluminum adapter plate with fixture
mounting bolts.
NOTE: Junction box in wall must provide adequate fixture support.
See NEC sections 370-13, 17 and 410-14, 16. Quick-disconnect
plug and wiring are provided to allow field connections prior to SAR
fixture mounting.
Finish/color: Finish is Super TGIC thermoset polyester powder coat
paint, 2.5 mil nominal thickness, applied over a titanated zirconium
conversion coating; A.S.T.M. 2500 hour salt spray test endurance
rating. Standard colors are Black, Dark Bronze, Light Gray, Platinum
Silver, or White. Custom colors are available.

See pages 12-15 for complete ordering information
Photocell Control: Large AR model supplied with a fully gasketed
receptacle above the electrical compartment for NEMA base
photocell (by others). For all multiple-fixture pole mountings with two or
three fixtures, one fixture has a receptacle to operate the others. Four
fixtures (250 watt or less) also require one fixture with a receptacle.
Four fixtures (400 watt) require two fixtures with receptacles. Small
SAR model supplied with an internal photocell with the sensor on the
fixture end facing the pole. For multiple-fixture pole mountings, one
fixture has a photocell to operate the others. Not available for SAR if
wall mounted (1W).
Convex Glass Lens (CGL): The F" thick clear convex tempered
glass lens replaces the standard flat glass lens. Provides increased lens
presence and provides a subtle improvement in uniformity where pole
spacing is extreme. Increases effectiveness of houseside shielding.
Polycarbonate Lens (LS): One-piece vacuum formed, clear, UV
stabilized convex polycarbonate, fully gasketed, replacing the
standard tempered glass lens. 250 watt maximum in AR model. AR
model may be used with 400 watt HPS in outdoor locations where
ambient air temperature during fixture operation will not exceed 85F.
CAUTION: Use only when vandalism is anticipated to be high. Useful
life is limited by UV discoloration from sunlight and metal halide lamps.
Houseside Shield (HS/HSC): Types II, III, and IV only. Fixtures with
the standard flat glass lens are available with stamped aluminum
louvers that pass streetside light and block houseside light, and a
blackened panel added to the reflector to reduce houseside
reflections. Fixtures with the optional convex glass lens are available
with a formed aluminum shield that passes streetside light and blocks
houseside light, and a black anodized panel added to the reflector to
reduce houseside reflections. Use with clear lamps only, as coated
lamps reduce effectiveness.

Tamper-Resistant Latch (TL): Standard die-cast latch is provided

with a captive 10-32 stainless steel flat socket-head screw to prevent
unauthorized opening. Required only for vandal protection in locations
where fixtures can be reached by unauthorized persons.
Horizontal Slipfitter Mount (HSF): Replaces standard mounting arm
with a slipfitter which allows AR or SAR model to be mounted to a
horizontal pole davit-arm with 2" pipe-size mounting end (2C" O.D.).
Cast aluminum clamp-type slipfitter with set screw anti-rotation lock.
Bolts to housing from inside the electrical compartment using
mounting holes for the standard support arm. Davit-arm must be field
drilled at a set screw location to insure against fixture rotation. Finished
to match fixture and arm.

This proportion diagram is intended to help visualize and

select the best Archetype system to satisfy aesthetic
requirements. Remember, the pole height also affects
performance; the higher the fixture is mounted, the greater
the light throw. If poles are mounted on concrete pedestals
such as in parking lots, the height of the pedestal must be
considered in selecting the pole height.
