The Quadralux Q8 Foundation is a very high-powered, architectural-grade spotlight engineered to deliver exceptional performance in demanding exterior lighting applications. With a sleek, modern form factor, it integrates advanced technologies like EasyGlow™ visual comfort and CoolDrive™ thermal management to ensure long-lasting performance and reliable operation in harsh environments.
Designed for professional lighting scenarios requiring high intensity and precision, the Q8 Foundation delivers a peak luminous intensity of up to 1.2 million candela. This is made possible through expertly crafted designer optics that provide excellent color-over-angle consistency and smooth color blending, even at close projection distances. A wide range of beam angles, including narrow spot and elliptical options, support versatile lighting designs and precise beam control.
Available in multiple CCTs—ranging from 2,700K to 5,000K—the Q8 achieves luminous outputs up to 14,860 lumens with efficacies as high as 112 lm/W, and peak intensities reaching 304,000 candela. This flexibility makes it suitable for architectural highlighting, façade lighting, and long-throw projection where both performance and aesthetics are paramount.
Installation is simplified with a lockable, adjustable yoke mount featuring a galvanic isolator for corrosion protection, allowing the fixture to be surface-mounted in multiple orientations. Glare control accessories are available to further enhance visual comfort and optical precision. The fixture is offered in DALI (for international markets), 0-10V (North American markets), or non-dimmable versions, providing integration flexibility with various control systems.
Built with marine-grade die-cast aluminum and tempered glass, the Q8 Foundation is finished using a superior 9-step powder coating process with a marine-grade epoxy undercoat and polyester topcoat. It is rigorously tested for environmental resilience with an IP66/IP67 rating (passing IP68 tests), IK10 impact resistance, and 3G vibration resistance with the optional 3G-rated bracket. Operating reliably in ambient temperatures from -40°F to 122°F (-40°C to 50°C), the fixture is well-suited for dry, damp, or wet locations.
Weighing 28.6 lb (13.0 kg) with a projected surface area of 1.2 ft², the Quadralux Q8 Foundation meets global certifications including ETL, CE, RCM, and FCC, making it a powerful and dependable solution for large-scale architectural lighting projects.
