Albany luminaires with the Sealsafe Optical System

Offering classic street lighting styles for a broad range of applications, Schréder Lighting USA introduces Albany luminaires with the Sealsafe Optical System. A classic of the Victorian era, Albany is notable for its versatility. Its two sizes, along with a wide range of reflectors, mounting options, and timeless form, make the lighting group suitable for large urban centers, towns, roadways and retail centers. Engineered for longevity and energy efficiency, Albany features all aluminum construction for corrosion-resistance in any environment, tool-free access to high efficiency reflectors and the ballast module, as well as quick disconnect plugs for electrical terminations. The ballast module twists off for easy relamping and maintenance.

Albany features Sealsafe IP66, a hermetically sealed optical unit that prevents dust and water ingress to the IP66 tightness standard while ensuring lifetime protection. Robustly constructed of 99.9 percent pure cast aluminum and designed with a reflector bonded to its lens, Sealsafe's high-performance reflectors enhance Albany's performance while eliminating internal cleaning of the reflector, energy and installation costs. The Right Lighting is achieved with optimal tubular "point source" lamp positioning inside the optical unit while illuminating the installation parameters, and delivering a higher level of light flux spread on the ground surface without light pollution and spillage. Albany luminaires increase public safety and reduce crime and fear by transforming the mindset of citizens living and working in urban areas.

The Albany ensemble allows various installation heights according to the type of luminaire selected, helping to achieve aesthetic coherence across various types of applications within a town. Albany luminaires can be installed on poles ranging from 16 to 23 feet height. Wall fixtures are also available. The larger Maxi model offers a solution to the lighting needs of major access roads with a luminaire height of 26.8 inches and diameter of 27.6 inches. It uses Metal Halide or High Pressure Sodium lamping ranging from 150 to 400 watts. The Midi, a more compact offering, is particularly suited to the lighting of city centers, narrow lanes or public squares. The Midi luminaire is 23 inches tall, 23.2 inches in diameter, and uses Metal Halide or High Pressure Sodium lamping ranging from 50 to 150 watts.
