Among the product lines highlighted by Kim Lighting during the show:

Warp9

Kim Lighting's Warp9 series features the exclusive Visual StealthTechnology(TM) and is designed to disappear from the site and camouflageitself with its surroundings and avoid detection from daytime visualperception. Typical site lighting attempts to embellish, decorate oradorn, often beyond the original architectural intent. Warp9 was conceivedand developed with an entirely different directive, and is the antithesisof massive, showy and recognizable, which allows architecture to remainvisually dominant as it was originally intended.

The Warp9 series offers a complete package of luminaire sizes and optionsthat integrate seamlessly into any environment. The series includes twohousing sizes, in electronic or magnetic ballasted versions, with fourdistinct light distributions and a wide array of mounting, fixture andfinish options.

GEM LED

Kim Lighting's GEM® Performance Bollard line includes new super brightwhite LED technology designed to produce high levels of illuminance and anattractive lens presence. The visible lens produces a point of interest,attracts attention and is particularly well suited where bollards are usedto identify and highlight entries or important walkways.

The GEM Performance Bollard is available with either a concrete or aluminumshaft and has a durable powder coat finish. The GEM head is constructed ofdie-cast aluminum, with a molded glass refractor. Four captive, stainlesssteel fasteners are concealed from view, yet provide easy access forroutine maintenance. The lens is not disturbed during re-lamping. Thefixture head is secured to the shaft with heavy-duty stainless steel rods.

Key features of the line include: super bright white LED versions in 30W,45W or 60W modules for three distinct distributions; placement of LEDs highin the optical system to reduce refractor brightness while increasingluminaire efficiency in the desired luminous zone at 60° from vertical;precision molded tempered glass refractor to spread light evenly in thebeam pattern and eliminate shadows from the luminaire's support structure;stepped design of the lower body to reduce surface brightness and providean attractive texture; sealed optical system to eliminate the intrusion ofdirt and insects; and a lens refractor to spread illuminance laterally andproduce a smooth and even beam pattern.
