The K56 Paragon Luminaire
An Illustrious PastProbably the most versatile of all ornamental luminaires available in the first three or four decadesof the 20th century, the K56 was originally used as a post top, a pendant and, on occasion, even a floodlight. It first appeared during the First World War, achieving instant approval as an acceptablealternate to the ever-popular Acorns.
It figured largely in the first integrated street lightingsystem of Cleveland, Ohio and, over the next 30 years, it was produced and sold coast to coast by at least three major manufacturers. Variouslyknown as the Tallmadge Lantern, Tudor, Edgewater,Octagonal and Cleveland, it graced the streets andparks of literally thousands of communities rightacross the continent.
All Illuminating FutureKing Luminaire has elected to revive the original GEnomenclature of the “Octagonal Novalux Form 56”.The Octagonal today is available in the Cleveland version (without spurs) and as the Tudor (with spurs).While the physical appearance of the K56 is com-pletely authentic, King Luminaire has totally redesignedthe optical system, offering excellent photometric performance in IES Type III & V patterns with a widevariety of HID light sources.
The K56-I with an internal glass refractor was the orig-inal HID optical system. The K56-E, introduced in the70's with the external prismatic refractor panels, wasthe next optical improvement to be introduced.Today, in response to the ever-growing concern for light control, King has developed two innovative opticalsystems, both of which offer a cutoff classification.
The K56-VL1 with a louvered reflector system andthe K56-VL2 with a segmented reflector both offerhigh performance with a cutoff classification thatmeets most luminance requirements and providesexcellent efficiency with the low glare.
The versatility, now available with the four optical systemsof the K56 Octagonal Luminaire offers the beauty ofyester-year with the superior lighting performance requiredto meet the demanding lighting standards of today.

In selecting which of the K56 optical systems is right foryour project, numerous items, besides the luminaire'slighting characteristics, need to be considered.
Glare: Luminaires must provide the ability to see, not just light the ground.
Purpose: Consideration must be given to the purpose of the lighting. (i.e. roadway or area lighting and if roadway, which type)
Ambiance: Light standards provide the finishing architectural touch - 24 hours a day.
Safety: The finished project must meet all codes and ordinances.
Uplight: Consider the project's environment and design accordingly.
Light Trespass: Put light in the right places, not in private areas or bedroom windows.
Budget: Consider both the initial capital investment and, especially, the ongoing maintenance costs.
Power Usage: Use as few assemblies as is practical.
With the above points in mind and using the requisite IES files, the lighting desginer will be enabled to make an educated decision as to which optical system will bemost suitable for any given project.
