The Altis high-power LED floodlight is a versatile and innovative solution designed for sports applications ranging from first-class professional stadiums to recreational fields, as well as large-area and architectural lighting. Engineered for maximum optical efficiency, Altis delivers exceptional lighting performance of up to 264,000 lumens, combining precise optics, modular flexibility, and advanced thermal management. With a wide range of outputs, colour temperatures, CRI and TLCI values, as well as RGBW and Balanced White options, Altis provides the ultimate in performance, visual comfort, and adaptability for any project.
Built to the highest standards, Altis features a compact and aerodynamic design with die-cast aluminium modules incorporating patented ‘pin fins’ for optimal thermal management. The luminaire body, stirrup, and frame are constructed from high-grade aluminium, powder coated for environmental protection, and rated C5 for corrosion resistance according to ISO 9223:2012, ensuring long-term durability even in harsh outdoor conditions. The front face uses 4mm toughened, anti-reflective glass to deliver high transmission while reducing glare, complemented by zinc-coated stainless steel screws for robust assembly. Premium gearbox versions feature the patented “fishbone” design to maximize airflow and thermal efficiency, while cost-conscious Performance gearbox alternatives provide similar high performance without the specialized fins.
Altis is designed with modular, tiltable LED modules, providing unprecedented optical flexibility. Each module can be independently aimed to optimize light distribution, reduce the number of luminaires required, and minimize windage. The floodlight accommodates mixed optics within a single installation, enabling designers to create highly customized lighting schemes for stadiums, sports complexes, or area lighting applications. The tiltable module system allows asymmetric and symmetric distributions, including Extra Wide 40°, 50°, and 60° beams, as well as intensive or upcoming 30° asymmetric and 50° asymmetric wide options, ensuring uniform illumination with minimal spill light and glare.
The floodlight supports full control via DALI-2 or RDM-DMX, enabling instant switching, stepped illumination, and dynamic event-based lighting scenarios. RGBW and Balanced White options allow precise tuning of colour temperature from 2200 K to 4000 K, enabling designers to adapt the lighting for environmental sensitivity, spectator comfort, or architectural impact. The system also supports HDTV, 4K, and super-slow-motion broadcasts with flicker-free operation and TLCI ratings up to 90+, ensuring perfect image reproduction for live sports events and televised coverage.
Installation is simplified through intuitive mechanical design and a flexible connection system. Altis can be mounted using lateral arms, reversible stirrups, or adjustable brackets, supporting wall, surface, roof, suspension, and horizontal mounting configurations. Modules are pre-wired to a quick-fix connection box, while the gearbox can be mounted directly on the luminaire, inside masts, or remotely up to 200 meters away. Cable management is optimized, with multiple cable gland options and secure routing behind the LED modules, and a precision aiming device is provided for rapid and accurate module alignment.
Altis excels in both sustainability and maintenance efficiency. With a rated lifetime exceeding 50,000 hours, IP66 and IK08 protection, and hot-restrike capability, it provides a long-lasting, reliable solution for sports and area lighting. The modular design facilitates retrofit projects by allowing existing poles to accommodate Altis without structural upgrades. Energy efficiency is further enhanced through intelligent lighting management, including scalable control systems that integrate Art-Net, DMX RDM, and DALI protocols, enabling pre-programmed lighting sequences, real-time adjustments, and full integration with building management, audio, or advertising systems.
In addition to performance and flexibility, Altis addresses environmental and user considerations. Asymmetric optics and forward-focused light distributions reduce obtrusive light, artificial sky glow, and glare, creating a safe and comfortable environment for athletes, spectators, and nearby residents. Optional louvres and precision visors allow further control of light spill, while RGBW and Balanced White provide dynamic colour effects to enhance spectator experience, accent architectural features, or create immersive event atmospheres in arenas and recreational facilities.
Altis is available in one, two, and three-module configurations, each offering a range of optical layouts, tilting capabilities, and control options. The standalone one-module version includes an integrated 600 W gearbox pre-mounted and pre-wired, while multi-module versions support remote gearbox installation up to 200 meters. This modularity allows project designers to select the precise configuration needed for each application, minimizing installation complexity, reducing the number of luminaires, and achieving optimal uniformity across playing surfaces and large areas.
Overall, Altis is a state-of-the-art LED floodlight that combines high-output performance, precision optics, advanced control, and rugged construction. Its modular, tiltable LED design, combined with energy-efficient and flicker-free operation, makes it suitable for professional sports, recreational fields, area illumination, architectural lighting, and dynamic RGBW installations. By offering full control over colour, intensity, and beam direction, Altis provides a future-proof solution for both new installations and retrofit projects, ensuring excellent visual performance, user comfort, and energy efficiency for years to come.
