Infranor™
Polaris-6
Polaris, or the pole star, lies less than one degree
from the north celestial pole and has served as a
stellar beacon leading explorers and navigators to
their destination since the beginning of time.
Similarly, Infranor has been, and continues to be,
a leader in the manufacture of performance
floodlighting products and the Infranor Polaris-6
continues this leadership by offering proven reflector
technologies in a new architectural shape.
Infranor is synonymous with quality and performance
and the Infranor Polaris-6 luminaire is no exception. It
was developed to exceed market demands for superior
performance, precise beam control, and energy efficiency.
It is an outstanding choice for all landscape, sign and
facade lighting installations.
Like all Infranor products, the Polaris-6 boasts a wide
variety of precision rectangular beam patterns to fit all
of the rectangular elements of our world. No other company has developed as wide an array of precision optical
systems to eliminate the shadows left by conventional
floodlighting products.
Every Infranor Polaris-6 precision flood luminaire meets or
exceeds the stringent requirements set forth by UL for wet
location use and carries both the UL and ULc labels. All
luminaires are fully tested prior to shipment and backed by the
protection of a full Sterner/Infranor warranty.
Sterner Lighting, through its exclusive Infranor brand, has been
manufacturing premier and custom floodlighting products for over
35 years. Infranor is recognized worldwide as the leader and
innovator in floodlighting products. The Polaris-6 series continues
this time-honored tradition.

DESIGN FORM
An aesthetically pleasing shape helps to accentuate the surrounding
architecture and makes this product ideal for landscape, sign, and
facade lighting. Our precision die-cast methods allow for sharp
distinctive lines and eliminate the need for most external fasteners.
The compact design (16.12" W x 9.44" H x 6.37" D) includes
integral heat sink fins for cooler operation and longer component
life and will operate lamps up to 175W.
MOUNTING
Heavy Duty Swivel:
As a standard feature the Polaris-6 includes the most robust, diecast swivel available in the market today. Regardless of mounting
scheme, the innovative swivel design allows for infinite fixture
adjustment throughout its aiming angles assuring a clean precise
lighting design. Further, the heavy duty swivel contains an oversize
wiring compartment for easy installation and eliminates the need
for an additional junction box. The Polaris-6 can be conveniently
mounted to walls, post tops, base pads, or stanchions.

For over 35 years, Infranor’s precision rectangular beam patterns
have been the choice to illuminate prestigious architecture.
Although the Polaris-6 is a new architectual shape, the luminaire
utilizes Infranor’s time proven reflector technology. Specifiers
may select from eight rectangular beam patterns that provide the
highest degree of uniformity on the targeted surface, while
minimizing spill light into adjacent properties and the night sky.
Further, the efficiencies of rectangular beam patterns often allow for
a reduction in the total number of luminaires needed. The optical
assembly is manufactured as a unitized body and can be quickly
interchanged with other beam patterns to adapt to field conditions.
Infranor Rectangular Beam Pattern
Typical Round Beam Pattern
SEALED SYSTEM
Unlike most systems that utilize a two-fastener hinging method,
the Infranor Polaris-6 has a die-cast doorframe that attaches
securely with four (4) recessed and self-retained stainless steel
fasteners. This ensures that the doorframe retains its shape and
exerts uniform pressure on the gasket maintaining a watertight
seal in all aiming directions.

Sterner engineers have developed a unique gasket system for use
in the Polaris-6. As the doorframe presses against the housing,
two separate surfaces compress the gasket forming a dual
watertight seal against outside contaminants.

ACCESSORIES
A special reveal has been engineered directly into the doorframe
and accepts all door-mounted accessories. This unique design
eliminates any chance of light leaks. The doorframe may be
removed for maintenance without detaching the shields. See

SIGNAGE
Good sign lighting design is accomplished by minimizing
spill light while maximizing uniformity. Luminaires
should be unobtrusive and easy to maintain. The Infranor
Polaris-6 product, with its rectangular beam pattern, is the
ideal luminaire for meeting these requirements for signs of
all sizes.
This application uses one RM beam pattern to highlight
the wording and provide an even illumination over the
surface of the sign.
FOLIAGE
Foliage illumination is typically used to
create drama and highlight the color of the
foliage. The Infranor Polaris-6 luminaire,
with its wide array of available distributions,
provides a solution to all foliage lighting
applications and is constructed of materials
that can endure the elements present in a
harsh environment. Additionally, the Polaris-6
is a completely sealed system that keeps out
any contaminants.
This application uses the HPW beam pattern
to provide depth to the foliage and to
highlight the body of the trees.
12
BUILDING FAC ADES
Building and facade lighting can be
used to create patterns of illumination, to provide a uniform wash
of the facade, or to highlight sculptures and other architectural
features. The plethora of beam patterns available with the
Polaris-6 product addresses the variety of installation challenges
and provides solutions to all architectural lighting needs.
This application uses the RN reflector option at a short setback
to highlight the building facade.
FL AGPOLE AND MONUMENT LIGHTING
Flagpole and monument lighting should provide an efficient and
uniform solution that minimizes the excessive spill light into the
nighttime sky. The Polaris-6, with its excellent beam control, is
ideal for this type of lighting design.
This application uses two SP beam patterns and locates the
luminaire at a short setback to make the cross glow from top to
bottom while emphasizing the cross arm.

recommended guidelines
B E A M PAT T E R N S
The rectangular narrow beam pattern (RN) is ideal for lighting
facades and signs where long setbacks are necessary or for
providing a uniform wash on tall facades with short setbacks. The
high proportioned wide beam pattern (HPW) is appropriate for
providing an even wash on facades with medium setbacks and is
effective in controlling spill light by placing a high proportion of
the light above the center beam. The variety of beam spreads
making up the spread between SP and HPW provide solutions for
all possible lighting needs.
SETBACK
Luminaire setback can vary depending on the results desired. If a
textured surface is being illuminated and the desired effect is to
emphasize the texture of the surface, a short setback should be
considered to reveal the depth of the texture. If a uniform wash or
distribution is required, then a setback of two-thirds to threequarters the height of the structure should be considered.
L U M I N A I R E S PA C I N G
Depending on the lighting effects desired and the beam pattern
used, luminaire spacing should range between one and two times
the luminaire setback. With the wide variety of beam patterns
available with the Polaris-6, there are many tools to select from
for all of your lighting design challenges.
As the possibilities of aiming options and solutions for lighting
applications are unlimited, the following information serves to
provide a general rule of thumb in determining beam spread
requirements for applications where even illumination is required.
SHIELD OPTIONS
Luminaire shield options are available. Shields will affect the
published photometric distributions. Please consult the factory
for assistance.

recommended guidelines (continued)
Illustrated in the following application is a 25' high wall and varying
luminaire setback positions. Also shown are the recommended
rectangular beam patterns suggested for the given luminaire setback
ranges. The example below is meant to be a general guideline for
selecting the appropriate beam spread for applications requiring an
even illumination of the surface. Please consult the factory for
assistance in applying these and other beam spreads and for
assistance with your lighting design.
