Good Outdoor Retail Lighting Is Essential
LSI Automotive Lighting offers you the Power of Choice.
We’ve taken exterior lighting to an entirely new level with ART (Advanced Reflector Technology). Just like in your
showroom, ART allows you to specifically highlight your merchandise, maximizing your selling efforts. Available with
Automotive Forward Throw (AFT) and Automotive Interior (AI) reflectors, these optical systems maximize fixture
™
efficiency and uniformity, allowing you to utilize lower wattage lamps for your front row feature display and
interior row general auto merchandise sales areas. This innovative system is the result of the synergy created between a highly advanced reflector design
and a variety of lamp and fixture choices. Whether you are building a new site, or upgrading an existing dealership, LSI has an ART solution for you.
Delivering the effectiveness of
retail showroom lighting outdoors

ART – More flexibility than ever before!
• Utilizes vertical lamp orientation for
enhanced uniformity
• Best lighting available for both front and
interior row vehicle displays:
• IESNA cutoff –
- Full cutoff available with the
Greenbriar Reduced Flat Lens
- Title 24 compliant
- 1000-watt metal halide performance
from a 750-watt pulse-start system
• Energy savings
- Performance enhanced 1000-watt
metal halide system
• Lower total cost of ownership
The ART Retrofit Kit* comes with everything you
need to retrofit your existing LSI fixtures:
• ART Reflector
• Ballast
• 750-watt pulse start or 1000 metal halide lamp

Making the Right Choices With ART
Whether a new build or retrofit, every outdoor retail facility has its own footprint and unique lighting requirements. LSI recognizes the many issues
retailers face today – irregular sized lots, zoning constraints, energy restrictions, and corporate specifications. Our palette of lighting options address all
of the above and more.
IESNA Recommended Illuminances
The IESNA (Illuminating Engineering Society of North America)
provides recommended illuminances based upon specific
applications or tasks for a variety of environments. Outdoor
lighting presents several challenges given a number of visual
considerations such as brightness, glare, visual acuity and the eye’s
ability to adapt to varying light levels.

Flat Lens Optical Systems
Community Friendly Products for light sensitive areas.
Flat-lensed fixtures meet IESNA
full cutoff classification.
To meet the demands of today’s zoning requirements for light control, LSI
Automotive Lighting offers a selection of flat lens vertical burn and horizontal
burn fixtures. These high performance flat lens fixtures meet IESNA
requirements for full cutoff classification, making them Community Friendly.
LSI’s Greenbriar Reduced flat lens (GFR) optical system provides high
performance lighting with reduced light spill, uplight and glare to meet
today’s zoning requirements for lighting. This flat lens fixture combines
the benefits of vertical burn technology with the full cutoff advantages of
a flat lens, making the GFR Community Friendly.

uniformity.
High competition initial foot-candle (FC) levels should range between 70 and 100 FC+ and medium competition initial levels should be
in the 50-70 FC range. Appropriate light loss factors should be used in conjunction with these levels to approximate maintained levels of
