Ridge is engineered for environments where reliability cannot be compromised. The fixture’s A380 die-cast aluminum body and permanently bonded 6-millimeter low-iron tempered glass lens form a sealed, durable barrier against weather, impact, and ingress, achieving an IP67 rating and IK10 protection when paired with optional LVR or FVSR components. Tested to both 3G and 5G vibration standards in accordance with ANSI C136.31, Ridge is built for the harsh conditions of transportation corridors, bridge structures, and other high-vibration installations. With an ambient operating range of –20°C to +50°C, Ridge maintains performance and longevity across challenging climates. All versions qualify under the Buy American Act, DOT Buy America regulations, and the Build America, Buy America Act, making Ridge ideal for municipal, federal, and infrastructure projects.
The Ridge family stands apart through the strength of its optical and control technologies. Its RGBW Quad Tech LED platform employs advanced color mixing directly beneath each optic, eliminating visible striations, color separation, and uneven transitions while delivering deeply saturated colors and clean, bright whites in 2700K, 3000K, 3500K, 4000K, and 5000K. Red, green, blue, and amber wavelengths are engineered for consistent performance within three MacAdam ellipses, ensuring precise color accuracy across fixtures and long linear runs. A Power Scaling driver maximizes the wattage and output of each color channel, preventing overheating, protecting LED life, and ensuring stable brightness during dynamic scenes or extended high-intensity operation. Ridge offers optional one-foot resolution control for installations requiring precise color zoning, intricate displays, or detailed façade mapping.
For dynamic architectural environments, Ridge integrates seamlessly with modern lighting control ecosystems. It supports 0–10V, DALI, DMX, Reverse Phase dimming, and direct compatibility with the Animate™ Controller by nLight®. In DMX512 networks, Ridge enables fast, precise data communication ideal for color-rich façade lighting, hospitality environments, public art, and media-driven exterior displays. The system’s reliability is further enhanced through Pathway Connectivity network devices, which bridge DMX, Ethernet, RDM, nLight®, and other control protocols, ensuring robust data distribution across large installations.
Installation flexibility is a defining strength of the Ridge family. Its low-profile linear form blends seamlessly into architecture, avoiding visual clutter while providing powerful, controlled illumination. The Taper-Lock aiming mechanism, combined with Ridge’s signature slide-and-pivot adjustment feature, delivers exceptional precision and ensures that fixtures maintain alignment over time—even in demanding vibration environments. Eighteen mounting configurations, including universal, vertical adjustable, horizontal adjustable, and ground stake options, support nearly any structure or surface, from bridge girders and building façades to landscape beds and architectural coves. Each mount maintains balance throughout wide tilt ranges and is engineered for long-term stability, with selected mounts tested to 3G or 5G ratings depending on configuration.
Every aspect of Ridge reflects a commitment to architectural integrity and long-term durability. Its clean, screw-less exterior eliminates common failure points where water ingress or corrosion could occur, maintaining a visually refined profile that integrates effortlessly into contemporary and historic architecture alike. The fixture’s internal components, including field-serviceable drivers and robust wiring rated from –40°C to 105°C, ensure longevity and simplify maintenance over years of demanding operation.
The Ridge family is conceived as a design-forward solution for modern cities, public spaces, and architectural landmarks. Whether casting a crisp line of white light across the span of a bridge, illuminating textured stone with uniform, striation-free color, or creating dynamic RGBW compositions that transform a building façade, Ridge delivers optical precision, color excellence, and unmatched reliability. Its powerful lumen output, advanced mixing technology, precision optics, comprehensive mounting system, and broad control compatibility give lighting designers an almost limitless toolkit to shape environments with confidence and artistry.
