The K118 Washington Luminaire
A Glorious Past
Of the many acorn globes that found their way
onto the city streets of North America in the early
20th century, the K118 shape was perhaps the
most widely used. Available from at least two of
the leading streetlight manufacturers of that time,
the K118 survived the transition from arc light to
incandescent. It fulfilled the two essential criteria of
the times: it was aesthetically pleasing and its efficiency was adequate by the governing standards.
Because of its pleasant, well-balanced shape, the
K118 has come back into favor as an ornamental
luminaire but, despite updating with various HID
light sources, this style of globe has never been
considered an efficient light... until now!
A Brighter Future
While faithfully retaining the authentic historical shape
of the original Washington Luminaire, King now
offers it with three modern optical systems.
The original HID optical system was the ever
dependable K118-I with an internal glass refractor.
King also offers it in two other optical systems,
both giving even more sparkling performance
characteristics at a level usually only associated
with more utilitarian light fixtures.
The cutoff K118-L louvered reflector provides
excellent lighting performance with minimal glare
while addressing IES luminance criteria.
The noncutoff K118-E external prismatic refractor
puts more light “where you need it” than other
comparable luminaires, making it one of the
most cost effective acorns on the market.
With the versatility offered by these three systems,
it is clear that King provides an effective solution
to any lighting design problem that might arise.

In selecting which of the K118 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)
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.
Light Trespass: Put light in the right places, not in
private areas or bedroom windows.
Budget:
LAMP BY OTHERS
Consider both the initial capital
investment and, especially, the
ongoing maintenance costs.
Power Usage: Use as few assemblies as is practical.
