The Nova Linear™ represents Acclaim’s—and the industry’s—most powerful DMX addressable linear pixel lighting fixture, purpose-built to meet the extreme demands of large-scale exterior installations that require both precision and performance. Created for professionals who require uncompromised output and control, Nova Linear™ embodies the fusion of raw lighting power with intelligent modular design, setting a new benchmark for architectural lighting flexibility and customization.
At its core, Nova Linear™ embraces versatility with an expansive selection of emitter types, precision-engineered TIR optics, and a wide range of beam modifier options. The fixture can be configured with fixed white emitters, Dynamic White, RGBA, or Acclaim’s latest RGBL engine with CCT Select technology. This innovative system enables users to dial in any color temperature between 1800K and 6000K+, providing seamless control over both pure white and full-spectrum color output. Whether creating delicate gradients, saturated colors, or smooth white tones, Nova Linear™ maintains uniformity and fidelity across every setting.
The fixture’s concealed cord configuration ensures clean, uninterrupted runs with no visible cabling, allowing it to blend seamlessly into architectural environments without sacrificing function. Control is achieved through the industry-standard DMX-512A protocol, complemented by RDM (Remote Device Management) for streamlined configuration and addressing. Each Nova Linear™ fixture is equipped with an internal auto-sensing power supply that accepts universal input voltage from 100 to 277VAC at 50 or 60Hz, offering installation flexibility for global applications.
Built upon the Acclaim Modular Systems (AMS) framework, Nova Linear™ revolutionizes the way lighting professionals approach project customization. Every fixture is meticulously built-to-order in Acclaim’s Los Angeles headquarters, with modularity at the heart of its design philosophy. Users can swap optics, change color engines, or upgrade power modules—all while maintaining a consistent housing structure. This modular approach eliminates long lead times and compromises on specifications, ensuring that even complex, project-specific configurations can be produced and shipped in days rather than months.
Acclaim’s proprietary ColorDrive technology further amplifies Nova Linear™’s performance potential, unlocking exceptional output for static color applications—up to four times higher than that of conventional color-changing fixtures. Intelligent color calibration ensures accurate, consistent saturation throughout the full dimming range, maintaining visual integrity from the faintest glow to full intensity. Complementing this is the Spectrum Four system, a quad-die color architecture that integrates a dedicated 3000K white emitter with calibrated blue, achieving smooth, tunable white light from 3000K to 7000K while maintaining a CRI above 80. This system allows users to move effortlessly between vibrant color, pure white CCTs, and nuanced pastel tones from a single, versatile light source.
Nova Linear™ delivers exceptional durability for outdoor and architectural environments. Each unit carries multiple international certifications, including ETL, FCC, CE, 3G, UKCA, and RoHS. Its anodized aluminum housing, protected with a marine-grade coating and sealed with polycarbonate lenses, ensures longevity even in harsh environments. The fixture meets IP66 standards for wet locations, achieves IK10 impact protection, and is rated to ANSI C136.31 3G for vibration resistance—making it ideal for bridges, façades, and structures exposed to heavy mechanical stress or environmental extremes.
In performance terms, Nova Linear™ achieves outputs of up to 4,238 lumens per foot, with precision optics available in a variety of beam distributions including narrow, medium, wide, elliptical, and asymmetric wall wash configurations. The fixture is available in standard lengths of 1’, 2’, 3’, and 4’, each consuming approximately 50 watts per foot. It connects through an IP67-rated end-to-end linkable system with quick-release connectors, allowing runs of up to 50 feet at 120VAC or 100 feet at 230/277VAC.
The fixture maintains consistent lumen performance, achieving L70 at 10,000 hours under 25°C ambient conditions. Mode and address settings are adjusted via RDM, with 0–100% dimming control through the integrated DMX driver. It operates reliably in ambient temperatures ranging from -40°F to 131°F (-40°C to 55°C), demonstrating robust thermal management and performance stability. Standard finishes include aluminum or black (RAL 9005), with custom RAL colors available upon request.
From monumental architectural façades to expansive bridge structures, the Nova Linear™ combines pixel-precise DMX control, modular adaptability, and rugged construction into a singular lighting powerhouse. Its seamless integration of color precision, structural resilience, and customizable optics positions it as the definitive solution for professionals seeking power, flexibility, and artistry in exterior architectural lighting.
