The Quadralux Q8 is a very-high powered architectural-grade spotlight that seamlessly blends advanced technology with outstanding performance in a sleek, modern form factor. This fixture is equipped with cutting-edge features such as EasyGlow™ visual comfort and CoolDrive™ thermal management technologies, ensuring both user-friendly operation and reliable thermal regulation. PowerSync™ technology offers highly granular digital control through common protocols, allowing precise lighting adjustments. The spotlight’s unique and flexible mounting system, combined with glare control accessories, enables installation in multiple orientations, making it adaptable to a wide variety of architectural lighting applications. Designer optics deliver excellent color-over-angle consistency and smooth color blending, even at close distances. The Quadralux Q8 is available with white, dynamic color-changing, and tunable white light engines to meet diverse lighting needs.
In terms of static white and color performance, the Quadralux Q8 offers a range of color temperatures from 2,700 K to 5,000 K with high CRI values, producing lumen outputs between 14,870 and 16,800 lumens, and peak intensities reaching up to 365,500 candela. Dynamic color options include RGBA with 9,430 lumens output and RGBW (4,000 K) with Royal Blue, delivering slightly lower lumen output but still maintaining excellent color quality and visual impact. The tunable white version covers a broad range from 2,700 K to 6,500 K, providing 15,710 lumens and a peak intensity of 331,400 candela. Power consumption stays under 160 watts, and the fixture is designed to last over 60,000 hours, as reported by B10, L70, and TM21 standards.
The Quadralux Q8 supports a wide input voltage range suitable for both international and North American markets, operating at 220 to 240 Vac (50 Hz) or 120/277 Vac (60 Hz). It features very low earth leakage current values to ensure safety and efficiency. Thermal management is handled by the CoolDrive™ system, which actively monitors and controls internal temperatures. For control, the fixture interfaces with Lumascape PowerSync® and supports protocols such as DMX/RDM, Artnet, PWM, and 0-10 V dimming (sink or source), although some protocols are not available for color-changing or tunable white models. The PowerSync system also includes default RDM personalities for smooth dimming, with the option to customize through standard DMX/RDM commands. It is compatible with a broad range of third-party lighting controllers, though some protocols may require additional hardware.
Constructed from marine-grade die-cast aluminum, the Quadralux Q8 features a tempered glass lens and isolated stainless-steel fasteners for enhanced durability in harsh environments. Its housing is finished with a superior 9-step powder coating process, which includes a marine-grade epoxy undercoat and a polyester top coat to resist corrosion and wear. Installation is surface-mounted with a galvanic isolator included, and the adjustable mounting yoke is lockable for secure positioning. The fixture operates effectively within a wide ambient temperature range of -40°F to 122°F (-40°C to 50°C) and maintains a surface temperature of 138°F (59°C) or below for safety. Weighing 28.6 pounds (13.0 kg), the Quadralux Q8 covers an effective projected area of 1.2 square feet (0.1 square meters).
Certified to meet rigorous industry standards, the Quadralux Q8 carries IP66/IP67 ratings with successful IP68 testing for waterproofing, and an IK10 rating for impact resistance. It also offers vibration resistance up to 3G per ANSI C136.31 standards when equipped with an optional 3G bracket. Suitable for dry, damp, and wet locations, the fixture complies with ETL, CE, UKCA, RCM, and FCC certifications, making it a robust and reliable choice for demanding architectural lighting projects.
