LED Optical Systems
Flat Array
The P4 is our fourth generation flat array, available in 3 configurations – Small, Large, and Tower – making it a versatile engine that is compatible with most King Luminaire fixtures.
Designed to increase roadway performance while providing superior spacing. Utilizing a refractor optic, the P4 is perfect for both pedestrian and roadway applications, plus rail and park settings, requiring a uniform footprint.
With premium light quality, excellent chromaticity and low glare, this optical system is available with Type II, III, IV or V IESNA distribution patterns. Precision optics with 100+ lumens per watt provide enhanced photometric performance with premium light quality while offering energy and maintenance cost savings.
Effective thermal management is achieved with high performance heat sinks, and with an efficient LED case temperature the P4 provides a long useful life that exceeds 100,000 hours.
The P4 (Small) optical system was specifically designed for compact luminaires and is often paired with luminaires that utilize the larger P4 (Large) optical system for coordinating fixtures to offer architectural consistency. They are available with our traditional pendants and select post top and pendant contemporary fixtures, coach lanterns, and octagonal fixtures.
The P4 (Tower) optical system was specifically designed for post top luminaires. It is available in historical acorn fixtures including the K118 Washington, K124 Paragon, K199 California, K107 Marion and K109 Cambridge.

Summary of LED Reports
King Luminaire, via our 3rd-party NVLAP certified Lab, performs standard testing on all our LED systems in order to ensure high performing, quality decorative lighting solutions. It is important to understand each test and why they are extremely important to the end user and the long-term validity of our LED products.
LM80
LM-80-08 is an approved IESNA document that deals primarily with the test processes and reporting criteria used by LED ‘package’ manufacturers to define the “Lumen Maintenance of LED Light Sources”. It is typically the responsibility of the emitter manufacturer to publish this ‘Data Set’ and not the luminaire manufacturer. This Data Set is generated using the guidelines set out in LM-80, and can be used, in conjunction with separate, “In-Situ” (as designed situation) thermal measurements, to determine the lumen depreciation of the emitters over a given time period.
IN-SITU
The IN-SITU (ISTMT) report is a CSA/UL (ANSI/UL 1598-2004) approved thermal test for LEDs incorporated into luminaires with heat sinks, optical elements, power supplies, etc., that are operated in a variety of ambient environments, LM-80 by itself is not a predictor of luminaire lumen maintenance. In order to relate the results of the LM-80 test to the luminaire, CSA/UL requires the luminaire to be tested in environments that simulate real-world applications (in situ) with direct measurement of the hottest LED in the luminaire and the power supply at steady-state thermal equilibrium (stabilized).
TM21
TM21 is an IESNA document projecting long term lumen maintenance of LED light sources that establishes a method for projecting lumen maintenance (and useful lifetime) of LED light sources from available LM-80 and INSITU data. This is based on a “reported” useful life not the traditional life or “time to failure”. Example: Reported L70(10k) >60,000 hrs @ 95°C 425mA. L70 Is an IESNA approved method of testing Projecting Long Term Lumen Maintenance of LED Light Sources Establishes a method for projecting lumen maintenance (and useful lifetime) of LED light sources from available LM-80 data and INSITU data. This is based on “time to failure” or when the luminous flux reduces to 70% of it original output. Example: L70 Calculated Estimates – 134,273 hrs @ 25°C Ambient and 425mA.
LM79
The LM-79 is an IESNA approved method of testing methodology to create a level field for product evaluation. It looks at 25C ambient, power supply, stabilization, orientation, electrical instruments, and testing equipment. LM-79 defines what information is required: total light output, voltage, current, power; calculates efficacy, lumen distribution, CCT, CRI, spectral distribution, testing lab, and equipment used.
LM-79 requires that solid state lighting products be tested to “Absolute Photometry.” Conventional HID/Fluorescent uses “Relative Photometry.” Absolute Photometry is lumen output of LED based luminaires and is dependent on the chip, thermal management, drive current, and optical system. LED based luminaires and lamps must be tested as a complete unit or system.
LED Conversion
Why LED Conversion?
The number of market-ready LED products grows daily. Some perform very well and provide more than 50% energy savings, but the quality and energy efficiency vary widely. It is important to ensure you choose an LED system that meets (or exceeds) the industry standards.
King Luminaire is committed to continuing the tradition of producing high performance and quality light systems that was started over 70 years ago.
King Luminaire Conversion Kits are complete systems, designed to integrate perfectly into existing lighting systems while still being designed, tested, and certified as a complete solution to give you an accurate and reliable photometric layout, lumen output, and thermal regulation.
Other “retrofit” solutions are simple component replacements and are only tested as that component. Therefore, it’s unknown whether or not you will achieve the required photometric layout or lumen output in your unique situation which may cause safety issues and require additional lights.

Each style is available with any spinning option, and 2, 3, or 4 strut designs.
Light Shaping
Occasionally, a luminaire requires some additional light shaping beyond the IESNA distribution type. In these scenarios, we offer a couple of different modifiers to address different concerns. Available on most fixtures and field installable in case the need is not identified until after installation.
House Side Shields
These modifiers are small barriers placed on the house side of a fixture. The house side shield adds a physical obstacle to block the light from shining into an unwanted area, typically the windows of a nearby home.
For B Series and T Series optical systems, King Luminaire offers a simple, one size fits all shield that attaches to the post of the engine. Watch this video to see how to field install this house side shield.
For the P4 optical systems, King Luminaire offers three variations of the house side shield – a 3” deep shield, a 6” deep shield, and the Low Profile shield (not available on P4 (Tower) optical system). Both the 3” and 6” shields are available in a KingCoat powder coat to blend-in seamlessly with the rest of the luminaire.
Low Profile House Side Shield
The Low Profile House Side Shield is a discreet shielding option designed specifically for the P4 (Small or Large) optical system. It is suitable for P4 (Small or Large) engines in a luminaire with no lens, as well as sag, shallow, or deep dish lens. The low profile shield is typically factory installed; however, it is possible to field install. The beauty of the low profile shield is that it is virtually invisible to the eye when installed, while still delivering 150° of coverage.
Diffusion
In scenarios where the light distribution is not the concern, but rather the perceived glare of the fixture, King Luminaire offers a diffuser for the P4 (Small or Large) optical systems in both post top and pendant luminaires. Engineered to maintain the desired distribution type, the diffusion provides soft light and uniform coverage – making it more comforting to the eye. Diffusion can be factory or field installed.
Wattage Selector
The Wattage Selector, with dimming capabilities up to 90% of light output, enables customizable delivered lumens and energy savings. King Luminaire offers a wattage selector for most luminaires to allow for easy modifications to light output after luminaire installation. Push button adjustments offer dimming capabilities in 10% increments. See the wattage selection in action in this video demo.
LED Driver
Universal Driver Bracket
The Post Top LED Driver Bracket makes it incredibly simple to change a driver assembly without requiring the use of tools. Taking little time and only 6 simple steps, it makes for a seamless replacement.
Dual CCT LED
Available on the P4 optical system, the Dual CCT LED Driver allows the user to remotely change the CCT of the system from one CCT to another, or to create a blend of the two. With full compatibility with controls, antennas, and other Smart City technology, the Dual CCT LED driver offers a creative solution to unique lighting challenges. One possibility – switch effortlessly between a Turtle-Friendly Amber and more standard 4000K to keep the environment safe for Turtles during hatching, and ideal for humans the rest of the year.
