A luminaire that meets the
challenges of modern architecture.
Architecture has taken on a highly stylized, modern design aesthetic. Buildings throughout
the world are pushing boundaries, such as the Bird’s Nest Stadium in Beijing, the Burj
Khalifa Tower in Dubai, and London’s City Hall. Not only are these new structures taller
than ever, they are no longer confined to a single geometric shape. For example, London
City Hall is comprised of ten circular layers that overlap one another, creating a facade that
goes far beyond traditional architecture.
Another unprecedented facet of this new breed of Far more than a flood light, ReachElite is a highly

The benefits
of choice
ReachElite comes in three different sizes, is
available in five different color options, and can
be fitted with an array of accessories specifically
designed for the luminaire family. So there are
many options to choose from when selecting the
ideal ReachElite for the job.
8
Three Sizes Fit All
The ReachElite family is available in three versions: 100, 200, and 300
watts. ReachElite 100 has a single 100 W head while ReachElite 200 and
300 have two and three 100 W modules, respectively. Each module can
offer several different applications to a lighting installation.
With just a single module and single beam of light, ReachElite 100 is best
suited to graze or illuminate specific target areas. ReachElite 100 is ideal
for the job if you require one specific application.
ReachElite 200 and 300 emit a huge amount of light, making them
great when you need color blending or washing. The 200 W and 300 W
models also offer the ability to aim multiple modules at different target
areas, providing extreme flexibility.

Punch & Lumens
Delivering lumens exactly
where you want them.
LED luminaires are commonly marketed by their lumen
output, or how much light they emit. Punch, on the other
hand, which is essentially how much of the emitted light is
delivered to a targeted area, is not often discussed when
describing LED luminaires. The difference between lumen
output and punch is simple: Lumen output is the amount of
light emitted from a luminaire, while punch is how much of
that light goes where you want it. These two specifications
are related but illustrate two very different characteristics of a
LED luminaire.
Flood lights are generally used to illuminate large areas,
so lumen output far outweighs punch. On the other hand,
a spot light used to direct light on a specific area is more
effective with a high amount of punch. Lumen output is
important, but it is far less valuable if the majority of the
light isn’t hitting your target.
ReachElite provides the best of both worlds by
offering a truly unprecedented amount of punch in
a LED luminaire. ReachElite’s native beam angle of
2.6°, as well as with the 5° diffuser lens, delivers
light to an extremely precise target area with
an exceptionally high punch rate. The high
punch rate is the due to the narrowness of
the beam angle. The tighter the beam, the
more concentrated the light is. A wider angle
more typical of a standard flood light can be
achieved by adding a 10°, 20°, 40°, 60°, or 80°
spread lens to the luminaire. But if you want
high punch, keeping the angle below 5° will
yield incredible results.

Accurate Testing
LM-79-08 is an approved standard for measuring
electrical and photometric data of Solid-State Lighting
(SSL) products. One of three types of goniometers are
used to measure the data of the luminaire:

ReachElite Showcase
Example 1 Lighting a tall, long building
Thanks to their power and flexibility, ReachElite IntelliHue Powercore 200 luminaires can
illuminate tall buildings or a city block. For example, consider a building that is 500 feet long
and 10 stories high. In this installation, 10 ReachElite IntelliHue Powercore 200 luminaires could
be installed one story up from the ground with fifty-foot spacing between each luminaire. For
each luminaire, one module could be aimed at the top of the building to highlight architectural
touches, while the other module could be fitted with a diffuser lens and aimed down to
illuminate the storefronts on the ground floor.

Example 2 Lighting a tall
monument from the ground
Lighting a 152 m (500 ft) tall monument
with white and colored light is simple
with Reach Elite IntelliHue. By using a
combination of 5°, 10°, 20°, and 40° spread
lenses on individual modules, ReachElite
provides even light distribution over
large areas. This installation achieves 20
lux average illumination by installing six
ReachElite IntelliHue Powercore 200 and
three ReachElite IntelliHue 300 luminaires
just 20 meters away from each side of the
structure—with a total of 36 luminaires.

Example 3 Lighting a distant architectural feature with ReachElite IntelliHue
The incredible punch of ReachElite enables it to light targets at far distances without sacrificing light quality.
Aligned in a row 10 meters (30 ft) apart, seven ReachElite IntelliHue luminaires are installed over 100 meters (325
ft) away from a large structure. An average 25 lux of tuneable white and fully saturated color light illuminates the
12 x 50 m (40 x 165 ft) structure which sits atop a 12 x 65 m (40 x 210 ft) stone wall.

Example 4 Grazing a bridge with ReachElite IntelliHue
ReachElite IntelliHue’s unique ability to deliver tuneable white and fully saturated color light to far distances is a
great option when grazing the 204 meter (670 ft) long cables and 120 meter (400 ft) tall center span of a bridge. A
row of sixteen ReachElite IntelliHue 100 luminaires with 10° x 40° spread lenses are spaced at 10 m (32 ft) intervals
parallel to the cables and lighting them from below. Fourteen ReachElite IntelliHue 100 luminaires are used to
illuminate the top of the center span while three ReachElite IntelliHue 100 luminaires illuminate each side, providing
an average 20 lux of illumination throughout the installation.
