System Overview
The ArcLamp System is comprised of ArcLamps and the ArcLamp Driver. This system of products
is designed to provide for easy retrofit of an existing space, or simple straight-forward
installation for new construction.
For renovation installations, ArcLamps simply connect to the ArcLamp Driver using the wires
from existing incandescent luminaires, eliminating the need for invasive rewiring.
ArcLamp is an LED source that is available in several models including the choice of screw base,
color temperature, and clear or frosted glass finish. ArcLamp is designed to be the energy-
efficient solution for chandeliers, sconces, wall lights, proscenium lights and more.
The DMX-controlled ArcLamp Driver includes onboard device management with up to four
individually addressable output channels per driver, ensuring fast and simple installation.
ArcLamp Systems are available different models, supporting 25, 60, or 120 individual 4.4 W
replacement ArcLamps.
