PAL-118-500-Q-B-RC-IY
A quartz or HID architectural uplight. Maximum output at
130° and 150° degrees provides an even distribution of
soft, controlled, glare-free light. With an output that is
forward and upward. It is ideally suited for spaces that
are as high as they are wide.
PAL-XL
PAGE: 453
PAL-XL-250-HQI-B-S-RB
This architectural uplight, using quartz, fluorescent or HID
sources, projects a powerful 123° forward beam of light.
It is exceptionally efficient in spaces that are wider
than they are high, directing a controlled, expansive
wash of light across a broad ceiling, without glare.
PAL-88
PAGE: 411
PAL-88-300/500-Q-B-LY
A classic quartz or HID architectural uplight. With a tight
forward distribution at 128° and no “splash” above the
fixture. This unique optic permits glare-free use on a wall
in spaces with sloped architectural detail above.
Providing a controlled wash of light without distraction.
PAL-422
PAGE: 433
Used with quartz, HID or fluorescent, this fixture projects
its main thrust at 178°. This strong upward (and forward)
wash of glare-free, controlled light performs best in
spaces which are higher than they are wide. Most
effective in a space with 2 to 1 proportions.

PAL-LP (Lite-Pak)
An unobtrusive quartz miniature indirect fixture.
Compact size and adjustable mounting bracket permits
its use in varied settings, including track. Rectangular
122° distribution and extraordinary color fidelity make it
ideal for color-sensitive situations.

METROPOLITAN MUSEUM OF ART
ARMOR HALL
NEW YORK CITY
LlGHTING CONSULTANT: STEVE HEFFERAN
Objectives: Redesign and relight the hall for the museum's Arms
and Armor Collection. Restore and update the three existing hanging light rings after almost 90 years. Add appropriate Architectural
Uplighting, unobtrusively, to provide a light and airy ambience to this
large public space, while projecting a controiled wash of light over
its vaulted ceiling.
Execution: Rambusch removed the huge bronze light rings, dismantled and stripped them to raw metal, refinishing them to exactly
the chosen finish. Glass shades and components were precisely
replicated. In addition, Steve Hefferan selected from five unique
Rambusch Architectural Uplighting fixtures, one which could deliver
the photometric pattern required for the sorely needed, supplemental lighting component he envisioned. Selected were the versatile
Rambusch PAL-88's, to be hidden in architectural coves between
windows, to effectively cross-light the vaulted ceiling.
Results: The relighted hall, containing one of the most popular
collections at the museum, is winning plaudits for Steve Hefferan
(IALD Award for Excellence) and has been featured in Lighting
Design and Application. Combining the restoration of the light
rings with Architectural Uplighting has resulted in a remarkably
pleasant and inviting, luminous atmosphere.

Fixtures: PAL-88-300-LY-H3
(page 411)
After creating a downlighting system, supplemental lighting was
provided to enhance the architectural space. By washing light across the
ceiling, the space visually appeared higher and wider. It was critical
that the uplights be unobtrusive and not create hot spots above
the fixtures or distract in any way. In this case, it was possible to select
from one of the Rambusch five standard optics to achieve the desired
effect. The PAL-88 chosen, has a strong forward thrust with no light
above 45°, allowing for cross-lighting without any glare or splash above
the fixture. By combining the use of downlights, uplites and accents,
a system of layered light was created to meet the varied needs of the
space and the congregation.

EMI RECORDS, New York City
Architect: Gerner Kronick Valcarcel
Lighting Designer: Johnson, Schwinghammer
Fixtures: PAL-88-70-MC-IY-MOD-SF
(page 414)
In this modern architectural space it was necessary to create a
sufficient volume of indirect light to supplement the task lighting in the
individual work areas. The H.I.D. lamp selected, a Philips Master Color,
was chosen to provide high lumen output with a small light source
envelope. When this was combined with the satin aluminum finish
of the sleek PAL-88 fixture, the result was both a contemporary
ambience and a highly efficient use of lighting.

Factors to consider:
1) Different lamp wattages and manufacturers require confirmation of rated initial lamp lumens.
2) Ceiling texture, color and slope greatly influence reflected light that will reach work plane.
3) Maintenance factor should include LLD (Lamp Lumen Depreciation) and LDD (Luminaire Dirt
Depreciation).
4) Coefficient of Utilization should include Ceiling Cavity and Room Cavity Ratio.
