capella-5d
Precision Floodlighting
Capella-5d
he Capella-5d luminaire combines architectural styling with high
T performance. With three precision-engineered optical systems to
choose from (combined with the use of a quartz lamp or T-6 metal halide
lamp with UV-block ) the Capella-5d can generate three extremely precise,
controlled rectangular beams: narrow, medium or wide.

The optical systems of the Capella-5d are so precisely engineered that the
150W quartz rectangular narrow beam is only 6˚ wide in the vertical
distribution, and 106˚ wide in the horizontal distribution. By focusing the
majority of the lamp’s luminous flux, these patterns can be used to dramati-
cally and efficiently illuminate any structure while minimizing spill light.

Designers and engineers will find the Capella-5d ideal for a wide range of
indoor and outdoor applications. Illumination of signs or building facades
where setback distances are restricted are perfect for the Capella-5d’s wide
horizontal distributions.
Pictured above: Swivel Style Capella-5d with Ballast Box.
When lighting banners, sculptures or foliage, spill light escaping into the (dimensions as depicted: 13” tall, 10” wide.)

night sky or onto adjacent surfaces is minimized by the Capella-5d’s

precision-engineered optical systems and shielding options.

Its small size (8.15 in. wide, 5.5 in.high) and precise rectangular beam
patterns make it an excellent solution for illuminating ceilings, canopies,
atriums, and other interior applications.

Every Capella-5d meets or exceeds the UL requirements for wet location

use, and is cULus listed to U.S. and Canadian safety standards. All
luminaires are fully tested prior to shipment and are backed by the
protection of a full Infranor/Sterner warranty.

The Capella-5d offers three rectangular beams: narrow, medium, and wide. As many as 21 beam patterns can be derived from the
Capella-5d utilizing three different metal halide or four different incandescent lamp options. Some of these patterns are illustrated on
these two pages. For additional photometric information or to locate your nearest Infranor - Sterner representative, call 1-800-328-7480.

The precision engineering of the Capella-5d’s optical

systems and focused rectangular beam patterns are
vividly demonstrated in this photo, illuminating a
35 ft. wide, 4 ft. high building sign. The sign had
been illuminated with three other fixtures before
this single Capella-5d was placed.
