Calyx

Suspended luminaire for low energy workspace

Clearvision overview

Clearvision Lighting has a 15-year pedigree in ergonomic and

environmental lighting. We have been at the leading edge of the
industry in adopting new technology and design techniques to
improve workplaces and reduce energy consumption.

Our appreciation of daylight has been apparent from the beginning.

One of our first innovations in ergonomics was Virtual Daylight® in
1997, which has since been copied by many other companies.

We focus on lens technologies (some patented) that are central to

our most successful products. We find that they’re an effective means
of optimising design between efficiency, glare control and useful light
distribution.

Clearvision is a project lighting company with a focus on customer

applications for our products. We therefore provide a full technical
support service–including Dialux (plug-in available), AutoCAD,
emergency test and control systems.

Please contact our technical department for design and product

related questions and sales for project quotations. All queries can be
addressed to enquiries@clearvisionlighting.com or on 01252 344011.

The Calyx

The Calyx is a direct/indirect suspended luminaire suited to office

lighting, education and public space as it combines uniform light
distribution with high efficiency.

The fitting has two visual options – the standard neutral diffuse M45
or the more striking fisheye Q45 lens. It is standard as a twin lamp
luminaire in 2x28W or 2x54W T5 fluorescent, but is also available in
1x54W or 3x28W for higher spaces.

The Calyx has a quality appearance exemplified by the machined

and anodised aluminium ends. Maintenance is also simple, an easy
opening catch on the lens allows it to swing open for relamping or
cleaning.

Calyx lenses
M45 (Standard)
The M45 lens is formed from layers of polymer material
to provide a very diffuse optic with higher transmission
than conventional opal materials. The diffusion is
created by combining microlinear prismatic material
with a white diffuse layer. The common hotspot read
of the lamp is smoothed out by the microprism whilst
diffusion is enhanced.
The standard M45 K-series lens is retained within an
anodised aluminium frame and into the luminaire via
spring loaded polypropylene shootbolts. The end caps
are formed of translucent polycarbonate.
Q45
The Q45 lens is constructed from two layers of PETG
and polycarbonate. The lower layer has a circular
Fresnel radial prism module, which creates the striking
visible pattern.
Both layers are retained within a frame of anodised
aluminium extrusion with polycarbonate end caps. The
lens is designed for retention with luminaire bodies via
spring loaded polypropylene shoot bolts.
The Q45 optics are the result of the relationship
between the radial Fresnel prism and the translucent
upper layer, which creates a 3D effect within the
module. The light is spread out by the fisheye optics of
the radial prisms. Incident light is segmented into the
appearance of multiple sources. This combination of
optics has a strong visual effect.
The lenses are designed for interior use, but the
optical materials are rated as having good resistance
to UV discolouration at higher exterior levels. The
materials – PETG and PC – are both resistant to
abrasion and impact and have a Class 1Y, 950°C
glow wire, non toxic rating.
Technical

The Calyx has been designed with maintenance in

mind. Firstly there is a wipe clean lower surface to
the lens that is designed to prevent dirt build-up. The
removable hinged lens can be easily opened by sliding
over the two spring loaded shootbolts, which means
the lens can be cleaned inside whilst in position. There
are no plastic endcaps that are vulnerable to damage
or complicated fixings to confuse product maintenance.
The lamps use twist & lock holders that are easily
accessible.

Should maintenance of the ballast be required, this

can be done by removing the gear cover (3 screws)
on the rear of the fitting, this can be accomplished
with the fitting in its normal position. The gear tray
has a terminal block with removable fuse when it is
necessary to isolate the fitting from the mains supply.

The power take-off (optional) contains the ceiling

terminal block and clutch adjustable wire that suspends
the fitting at one end – the other end has a standard
ceiling wire fixing. The suspension wires have slide
fixing on the luminaire to allow adjustment for leveling
– a useful feature on a single wire suspension.
