The second-generation Areaflood Pro family of luminaires has been meticulously developed with Dark Sky principles in mind, providing exceptional optical performance while minimizing light spill and environmental impact. Designed to protect the nighttime environment, Areaflood Pro luminaires achieve 0% ULOR when mounted horizontally at 0 degrees, effectively reducing light pollution and enhancing comfort for both users and neighboring residents. This approach ensures that lighting installations are responsible, sustainable, and considerate of sensitive outdoor environments.
Areaflood Pro combines advanced optics with a robust, maintenance-free luminaire design, crafted from high-quality materials to guarantee maximum lifetime performance and resistance to the most demanding applications. The luminaires feature a rated lifetime of up to 100,000 hours (L95) and are tested to C5 corrosion resistance standards, making them suitable for harsh outdoor conditions. Their slimline, lightweight construction allows for easy installation, quick replacement on existing columns, and reduced structural costs. This makes Areaflood Pro an ideal choice for refurbishing existing lighting installations, including high-output metal halide floodlights used in recreational sports areas, without the need for new mounting infrastructure.
The Areaflood Pro family offers comprehensive flexibility, with five luminaire sizes ranging from 4,000 to 100,000 lumens and a total of 21 light distribution variants, including configurations suitable for area, road, and sports applications. Each luminaire integrates THORN’s in-house designed optic portfolio, allowing for precise light control and superior visual comfort. The balanced white technology option and accessory portfolio further optimize light distribution and minimize light trespass, ensuring the luminaires meet strict Dark Sky compliance standards with zero candela at 90° when mounted horizontally.
For connected lighting solutions, Areaflood Pro is compatible with THORN’s UrbaSens connectivity systems. UrbaSens CIVIC CONNECT enables remote access and data analytics via a TALQ-compliant platform, providing detailed insights into CO2 reduction, energy consumption, usage patterns, and heat map visualizations of activity within the illuminated space. UrbaSens SENTINEL allows for adaptive weekly scheduling and motion detection, ensuring light is applied only where and when it is needed, supporting fully autonomous and sustainable lighting. For recreational and training sports areas, including Multi Use Games Areas (MUGA), UrbaSens Play offers flexibility via Bluetooth® connectivity or a physical control panel, helping to reduce overall energy consumption while maintaining optimal lighting performance.
The Areaflood Pro luminaires are future-proof, featuring options for connected drivers, Zhaga Up/Down or NEMA sockets, allowing simple integration of control nodes for fully connected lighting solutions. Electrical options include Class I and Class II variants, DALI dimmable on-board drivers, bi-power line, and Light Reduction Twin Phase models. Built-in surge protection up to 6kV is standard, with optional 10kV surge protection available. Color temperature options include a wide range of CCTs, including 727, 827, 730, 830, 740, 840, 757, and 857, along with balanced white ranging from 827 to 857, and specialized TLCI values for performance television broadcasting applications.
Constructed from die-cast aluminium (EN AC-44300) with C5 corrosion resistance, the luminaires are finished in light grey (close to RAL9006), with over 50 additional RAL finishes available on request. The design features a robust stirrup mounting bracket, available in a cost-effective unpainted ‘GY-S’ option for the Double Medium and Double Large sizes, and includes toughened glass for maximum protection. The luminaires are rated IK08 and IP66, with optional surface treatments available for specialized environments such as swimming pool installations.
Installation is versatile, with adjustable surface mounting stirrup brackets for wall, floor, or column applications, and optional spigot adapter accessories for post-top mounting on Small, Medium, and Large sizes. Accessories, combined with the lightweight, compact design of the luminaires, enable easy and cost-effective implementation in a wide range of environments while supporting sustainable lighting practices. Areaflood Pro provides a high-performance, maintenance-free, and future-ready solution for area, road, and sports lighting projects, offering precision optics, energy efficiency, and connected control capabilities to meet modern urban and recreational lighting requirements.
