Hubbell Lighting has announced that Architectural Area Lighting (AAL) has commercially introduced the Cypher wall sconce luminaire. The Cypher is adaptable to compliment a range of architectural accent lighting applications.
Aesthetics
The Cypher is available in two housing sizes featuring a range of looks with a variety of fascia form factors and finish options. This versatility provides lighting specifiers and designers with an array of options in a single luminaire.
While in development, AAL research identified how lighting specifiers and designers are working within design plans that actually call for understated lighting. Recognizing this, AAL engineers designed a version of the Cypher called the Ghost Fascia. This feature allows for on-site materials like stucco, stone, or tile to be applied directly over the fixture, blending the form into the existing architecture.
The Cypher also offers an optional static white or RGBW luminous front, presenting a palette of color options as needed. The RGBW feature can be custom tuned through a DMX controller or via Bluetooth connection using the Hubbell RGBW Remote App, allowing the end user to change color as the mood or situation dictates. This enabled RGBW function establishes the Cypher as a focal point and wayfinding luminaire at hotels, corporate and healthcare campuses, university buildings, and mixed-use developments.
Performance
AAL has been recognized with numerous industry awards for its ability to design products that do not sacrifice performance for the sake of aesthetics. The Cypher continues this tradition by establishing a benchmark for decorative wall sconce performance.
The Cypher spec-grade performance is capable of true IES distributions including up, down, and side lighting options for 90-, 180-, 270- or 360-degree illumination. It utilizes a design that gives specifiers and lighting designers the ability to select the amount of light they desire. A variety of illumination patterns are available from downlight only to 50/50, 90/10, 70/10/10/10, or even 25/25/25/25 split distributions.
Control
Cypher controls offerings range from dawn-to-dusk photocell to wired or wireless solutions. The distributed intelligent lighting controls provide a suite of California Title 24/ASHRAE compliant energy saving solutions.
Hubbell Control Solutions’ SiteSync is an option for the Cypher. With its pre-programmed approach, installation of SiteSync reduces the complexity, time and cost compared to typical field commissioned systems.
The features and benefits of the Cypher:
- Up, down and side lighting optics for up to 360-degrees of illumination
- RGBW or Static White luminous accent options
- Fascia options include 15 standard colors, four premium colors, copper, stainless steel as well as a variety of different custom colors and materials to meet architectural needs
- Integral battery backup, photocell, motion sensing, and SiteSync wireless control options
