SAF1 and SAF28 exterior floodlight luminaires receive 2022 award

Atlanta, GA, November 12, 2022 – Hydrel® (www.hydrel.com), an established innovator and provider of outdoor architectural and landscape lighting products, today announced its SAF1 and SAF28 exterior floodlight luminaires have received a 2022 Product Innovation Award (PIA) from Architectural SSL magazine.

The PIA recognizes innovative LED and solid-state luminaires and fixtures on the market, while also spotlighting the players behind the components that make up these light sources. Judging and evaluation of products and systems was completed by a distinguished panel of 16 designers and lighting specialists skilled in product evaluation. Manufacturers are awarded for products with attributes, qualities, functionality, and/or performance beyond industry standards.

SAF is a complete non-linear floodlight family for various lighting requirements, including floodlighting, spotlighting, silhouetting, grazing, and wall washing. A minimalist design across the family allows each fixture to remain discreet, focusing on bold beams and precision illumination.

SAF1 is a compact 3.6-inch diameter floodlight. With its narrow beam and precision lighting, SAF1 accentuates unique patterns, facades, and landmarks, harmonizing exterior spaces according to architectural lighting design needs. It offers 6° to 70° high-output distribution and up to 1,500 delivered lumens and is IP66 rated.

Featuring a powerful 16-inch diameter floodlight, the IP68-rated SAF28 is the largest of the family. It offers the versatility of 12 beam distributions and delivers up to 18,000 lumens. SAF28 offers high-performance optics with a quad chip LED that delivers brilliant light quality and optimal color mixing to ensure uniform color illumination for wall wash and wall grazing applications.

Both floodlights are showcased in the November issue of Architectural SSL magazine.
