A top range of small shallow inground uplights with a round or square profile available with an extended or flush mounted frame. The fixture is manufactured with a marine grade 316 stainless steel front ring and is designed for use in shopping and pedestrian areas for illuminating building facades, columns, squares, parks, gardens, sculptures, flag poles and trees.
The adjustable high powered LEDs in conjunction with high efficiency optics provides focused beam distributions to suit most design applications. The tapered high density polyethylene inground recessing box is provided with securing lugs on each side to allow the installer to properly secure the box in place thereby stopping it from moving during the concrete pour procedure.
These securing lugs can also be used to secure the base to wood support beams and working in conjunction with the tapered recessing box will prevent the fixture from lifting when installed in dirt. The housing also has two shoulders to prevent fixture rotation when used in drive over applications. The Kios is available with a non-slip ADA glass. This glass is infused with a specialized non-slip finish across the entire surface of the lens making this non-slip option the best in the industry. To ensure efficient drainage, gravel must be used to a depth of 17" and a width of 12" beneath the housing, and should also be placed around the luminaire.
An animated video can be viewed on the Ligman website to show proper Kios installation procedure to assist contractors and ensure a problem-free installation. Power is provided to the integral control gear through a specially developed anti-wicking PG13.5 watertight cable gland and 2ft of outdoor submersible #18/3 SOOW 600V power cable. Clear or frosted tempered 0.6" thick glass. 2.5 ton maximum load is transferred by the housing to the foundation. Vehicles with pneumatic tires can drive over the luminaire but the speed must not exceed 30mph. The distance between the floodlight and the illuminated surface should be at least 1.6'.
The Kios inground is available in 2700, 3000 and 4000 Kelvin, and is also available with colored dichroic filters, concentric ring louvre and honeycomb louvre. This luminaire range is also available with specialized optics that provide Type II, III and IV distributions for floodlighting walls and monuments, see Kios 9, 10, 11 & 12.
