KarbonCobra

KC0, KC1 and KC2 cover progressively higher output requirements. Published 70 CRI Type 2R table ranges are 1,232–7,964 lm for KC0, 2,158–15,735 lm for KC1 and 10,733–28,939 lm for KC2. KC1CE/KC2CE use a distinct ComfortEnhanced engine and Type II/III optics. These nominal family ranges span configurations; select the exact performance code and IES file for the roadway instead of treating the range as one fixture’s output.

KC1’s two-bolt slipfitter fits 1¼–2-inch nominal mast arms, corresponding to 1⅝–2⅜-inch outside diameter, with ±5° leveling in 2.5° steps. That supports a practical retrofit assessment. Pole spacing is a separate photometric decision: compare the specified optic, performance code and mounting height against roadway minimum levels and uniformity. Record arm diameter, insertion length, pole condition and circuit voltage before finalizing the fixture schedule.

KC1 offers house-side, front-side, cul-de-sac and 80-degree cutoff shields for different directions of spill or high-angle light. The current sheet excludes its house-side, front-side and cul-de-sac shields from the T5 optical configuration. Choose the shield with the distribution, then calculate the affected roadway and property boundary. A shield added after photometric approval can also remove useful light and should be included in the submitted design.

No. KC1CE uses a low-glare engine and angled transition plate, with Type II/III optics; it is a different optical choice from standard KC1’s wider distribution set. CCT is another selection variable. Compare the CE IES file at the actual road geometry and driver viewing positions, and review nearby homes. Neither a CCT label nor a CE suffix alone guarantees zero glare for every mounting height or aiming condition.

The current KC1 sheet assigns IP66 to the optical system and power supply. Complete-luminaire IP54 requires the IP54 option, which includes the rubber wildlife guard. The qualified ambient rating reaches 50°C for supported configurations, but designated performance codes are limited to 40°C. For hot sites, use the specific performance-table footnote rather than applying the maximum temperature headline to every code.

KC1 lists a 10-year limited warranty for standard luminaires/components and 5 years for motion-sensor configurations. LEOLink controller coverage is selected separately: the ordering table identifies NB01P05, NB01P10 and factory-installed EB01P10. The current North America warranty governs covered defects and remedy conditions. A warranty term is not a forecast of zero maintenance or a blanket promise to cover installation, lifts and every field expense.

The current KC1 sheet requires the explicit BABA ordering option when that build is needed; standard ordering does not establish the BABA build. Include the exact catalog and project documentation in the bid. For lifecycle cost, calculate each configuration’s kWh from its operating watts and dimming schedule, then add controllers, subscriptions, planned maintenance and installation. Keep rebate eligibility and procurement acceptance tied to the exact proposed configuration.

NB01-Plus is the external ANSI seven-pin route with the standard 0–10V driver. EB01 is factory-installed and requires DALI D4i; it is not a plug-in retrofit node. On KC1, D4i and TLR4U/TLR4L options are limited to MV 120–277V. The PS field selector is not compatible with D4i. Select driver, receptacle, node and service plan together instead of combining individually available options.

For example, a KC1 project requiring embedded EB01 should not also request the PS selector or HV D4i. Resolve the driver and voltage architecture before adding controller and service options.

Provide road width/classification, pole coordinates, mounting height, arm length, setback, existing circuits and target lighting criteria. Identify the proposed KC model, performance code, CCT, CRI, optic and shield so the calculation uses the corresponding IES file. Also distinguish MV/HV, standard versus D4i controls and the required BABA build. The resulting fixture schedule should reproduce the configuration used in the approved calculation.
