Ridge is a family of linear LED floodlights engineered for wall washing, grazing, and architectural lighting, designed from the ground up to deliver strength, precision, and visual impact. Built from durable A380 die-cast aluminum and sealed to an IP67 rating, Ridge thrives in demanding environments where performance and reliability are essential. Its housing, paired with a 6 mm tempered low-iron glass lens and an IK10 impact rating (with LVR and FVSR options), ensures long-term durability in harsh outdoor conditions. Ridge’s proprietary LED technology is tailored specifically for linear lighting applications, producing up to 2100 lumens per foot and achieving as much as 9000 delivered lumens with center-beam candlepower up to 150,000 CBCP. With a one-foot resolution, each segment of the luminaire can be precisely tuned to enhance architectural features, improve visual balance, and minimize spill light. Available in 1-, 2-, 3-, and 4-foot nominal lengths with 12 LED diodes per foot, Ridge supports both 80 CRI and high-fidelity 90 CRI options, all within 3-step MacAdam ellipses, ensuring consistent color quality across installations. Color choices include 2700K, 3000K, 3500K, 4000K, and 5000K whites, along with red, green, blue, and amber limited-wavelength 585–600 nm options, enabling an extensive palette of static and dynamic lighting expressions.
Optical versatility is central to Ridge’s design. Distributions span narrow 9° × 9° beams, elliptical shapes such as 10° × 60°, 15° × 30°, 30° × 60°, 40° × 60°, and 60° × 60°, and a dedicated asymmetric wall-wash optic engineered to deliver smooth vertical illumination. These options support a full range of wall washing, grazing, and floodlighting needs, allowing designers to sculpt light with precision. External glare-control accessories—including louvers, half visors, and full visors—further refine visual comfort in sensitive installations. Ridge’s punchy white output, achieved through its proprietary LED configuration, enhances saturation and delivers richer, more vibrant illumination that heightens clarity and depth across surfaces and façades. Enhanced by a Power Scaling driver that maximizes wattage and efficiency on each channel, the luminaire maintains high brightness and consistent performance across dynamic and static scenes.
Lighting control is fully integrated into Ridge’s architecture, enabling both simple and sophisticated lighting environments. Control compatibility includes DALI, DMX/RDM, 0–10V dimming to 1%, and reverse-phase dimming, offering flexible options for a variety of project types. Ridge is also fully compatible with the Animate™ Controller by nLight®, creating opportunities for immersive experiences, dynamic shows, and detailed outdoor lighting compositions. These capabilities allow the system to support responsive environments where color, intensity, and distribution can shift seamlessly based on design intent.
The mounting ecosystem is one of Ridge’s defining strengths. With eighteen purpose-built accessories supporting surface, vertical, horizontal, and ground installations, Ridge adapts effortlessly to architectural constraints, including locations with minimal setbacks. Its Taper-Lock technology ensures full aiming integrity through a rugged knuckle design, and its pivot-and-slide adjustment mechanism allows installers to locate the nearly perfect aiming position with precision. Vertical Adjustable mounts maintain low visual impact while offering wide tilt ranges and 5G vibration resistance for 1-inch and 2-inch mount sizes. Horizontal Adjustable mounts provide stable balance across a full 180-degree tilt and support both upward and downward orientations with the same 5G vibration rating. Universal mounts are available in fixed or adjustable configurations for both horizontal and vertical surfaces, delivering 3G vibration performance for adjustable versions and 5G for fixed ones. Stake mounts bring the full pivot-and-slide capability to landscape applications while keeping the luminaire weight centered for stable positioning. Across all styles, Ridge’s 3G and 5G vibration-tested mounting solutions ensure reliability in demanding installations such as bridges or exposed architectural structures.
Designed for MVOLT 120–277 V operation at 50/60 Hz, Ridge supports continuous-run configurations and offers cord options rated to -40°C using 14/3 or 18/2 SJTOOW cable with a UL-listed black jacket. With an ambient operating range of -20°C to +50°C, the luminaire is suitable for diverse climates. Available in multiple colors and finishes, Ridge merges robust engineering with architectural elegance. From small-scale accents to large-scale façades, it excels in crafting lighting environments where precision, flexibility, and reliability converge.
