Streamlining the product research and specification process with a totally online resource is what The Hadco Corporation is delivering with its new Project:™ outdoor lighting architectural site and area brand.
The new high performance line of architectural site and area fixtures was unveiled at the LIGHTFAIR 2007 lighting trade show in New York, N.Y. on May 8, 2007.
"Our user-friendly interface makes it easy for architects and other specifiers to locate product information that's always up-to-date and easy to understand. Online solutions guidance streamline project design efforts. After locating the right products, specifiers can simply contact their sales representative to discuss the desired fixtures. It's simple, fast, easy, and convenient," says Chris Hammelef, vice president and general manager of The Hadco Corporation, a leading manufacturer of commercial architectural lighting.
The first two Project: lighting products that can be found online at www.lightingbyproject.com are Project: Renegade™ and Project: Warrior™. Both are designed to enhance the appearance of outdoor site and area lighting and to outperform conventional fixtures. These products can be maintained without tools, making it easy to replace lamps andelectrical gear.
Project: Renegade is a full cutoff luminaire with an IP65 rating - IP for ingress protection, 6 indicating the product is dust-tight, and 5 indicating it is protected from water projected from a nozzle against the enclosure from any direction. Its unobtrusive, aerodynamic, and attractive design also helps protect it from the effects of wind. Eric Haddad, vice president of commercial sales and marketing for Hadco, says Project: Renegade's segment reflector makes it remarkably efficient and its rotatable optics turn in 90 degree increments to allow light to be precisely, yet flexibly, directed without remounting the fixture.
Project: Warrior is a family of large and small fixtures which feature floodlight and wall- mounted units of various sizes for such lighting outdoor areas as walkways, bike paths, roadways, building exteriors and parking lots. Project: Warrior fixtures have 90 degree rotatable reflectors and do not require tools for routine maintenance. Additionally, they are available in different arm styles for accommodating design needs and mounting functions.
