EXCELLENT LIGHTING PERFORMANCE
K199 California Post Top
The “California” luminaire was one of the original
acorn styles that graced the streets of North
American towns and cities, particularly in
Southern California where it rapidly became
a standard. Noted for its prominence during the
early “Hollywood Era” in California, this luminaire
was a popular choice that, to this day, creates a
unique and stylish look.
Although never losing its original shape, today’s “California” luminaire
incorporates optical systems that are as efficient as any in the industry.
The original HID optical system was the internal glass refractor of the
K199-I. In the 1980’s, King introduced the non cutoff K199-E external
prismatic refractor, which quickly became one of the most efficient,
cost effective acorns on the market. Recently, King designed the cutoff
K199-L with our VL1 louvered
reflector system, providing excellent
lighting performance with minimal
glare, while addressing IES
luminance criteria.
The versatility offered by these
three optical systems allows King
to provide an effective solution for
any given lighting project.

K199-I
Internal Refractor
The use of the K199-E
external enclosure as a
prismatic refractor ensures
that the light goes where
directed, resulting in
maximum spacing and
lower energy usage.
Located inside a protective glass, polycarbonate
or acrylic enclosure,
the internal refractor of
the K199-I redirects the
light into the desired light
pattern.
GR - GE Decorative Ring
An optional accessory that
adds to the decorative look
of the traditional California
globe - available in all King

BRS - Bell Ring and Struts
Now offered as a decorative
option, it was not offered on
the original K199. It adds an
appealing decorative flare to
the luminaires.

TOOL-LESS
BALLAST &
LAMP ACCESS
In selecting which of the K199 optical systems is right for
your project, numerous items, besides the luminaire's
lighting 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 vs.
area lighting and, if roadway, which type)
OPTIONAL
ROTOLOCK
CAST ALUMINUM
GLOBE RING
Ambiance:
Light standards provide the finishing
architectural touch - 24 hours a day.
Safety:
The project must meet all codes and
ordinances.
Uplight:
Consider the project's environment
and design accordingly.
LAMP BY OTHERS
Light Trespass: Put light in the right places, not in
private areas or bedroom windows.
OPTIONAL
GLOBE HOLDER
(FOR USE DURING
MAINTENANCE)
Budget:
Consider both the initial capital
investment and, especially, the
ongoing maintenance costs.
Power Usage:
Use as few assemblies as is practical.
