The Kololux K8 is a large, high-powered architectural-grade projector that merges exceptional lighting performance with innovative design flexibility. At its core is Lumascape’s patented Kompass™ technology, which enables 360° rotation of elliptical beams. This capability allows precise illumination of angled, curved, and organic surfaces such as sculptural objects and natural landscapes, even when the fixture is mounted on uneven or sloped surfaces. The flexibility of Kompass ensures optimal horizontal or vertical beam positioning in challenging architectural conditions.
Engineered for performance and longevity, the Kololux K8 delivers impressive lumen output across a range of static white color temperatures including 2,700K, 3,000K, 3,500K, 4,000K, and 5,000K, reaching up to 16,460 lumens with peak intensities of nearly 300,000 candela. For dynamic lighting scenarios, it offers RGBA and RGBW (with royal blue) color-changing options, achieving up to 8,560 lumens, while tunable white output ranges from 2,700K to 6,500K with a luminous flux of 15,530 lumens. All configurations benefit from high efficacy and color consistency.
The projector consumes less than 161 watts and boasts a remarkable lifetime exceeding 86,900 hours at 50°C ambient (B10, L90, TM21 projected), making it a reliable choice for long-term installations. Its advanced CoolDrive™ thermal management system ensures optimal operating temperature and longevity, while PowerSync™ digital control technology enables precise, granular control via industry-standard protocols such as DMX/RDM, ArtNet, and 0–10V (sink or source, where available). Smooth, flicker-free dimming down to 0.1% is achieved with a 2 kHz PWM frequency. RDM-enabled fixtures are shipped with a default personality that allows for smooth dimming but can be reconfigured to support other features through DMX/RDM.
Physically, the Kololux K8 is built to withstand harsh environments with its marine-grade die-cast aluminum housing, tempered glass lens, and isolated stainless-steel fasteners. A superior 9-step powder coating system—including a marine-grade epoxy undercoat—protects the fixture against corrosion, making it suitable for installation in dry, damp, or wet environments. It features a lockable adjustable mounting yoke with galvanic isolation for surface-mount installation.
Certified for international use, the Kololux K8 carries UL, CE, RCM, and FCC approvals and is rated IP66/IP67 (tested to IP68), IK9 for impact resistance, and 3G vibration resistant (ANSI C136.31 with optional bracket). Operating in ambient temperatures from -40°F to 122°F (-40°C to 50°C), it maintains a surface temperature below 138°F (59°C), weighs 35.1 lb (15.9 kg), and has an effective projected area of 1.7 ft² (0.15 m²). This high-powered architectural solution brings together precision optics, robust engineering, and cutting-edge control technology to meet the demands of complex, large-scale lighting applications.
