Before Kim invented the Low
Level Floodlight in 1979, pole
mounted luminaires were the
only way to efficiently light
outdoor areas. While valid for
parking lots or streets, pole
mounted fixtures cluttered
smaller areas with hardware
that interrupted a clear view of
the architectural statement.
The need was for an efficient
lighting system that could be
integral with the architecture
or site elements, thereby
preserving the design purity.
Kim’s Low Level Floodlight is
an architectural outdoor
lighting instrument built for
permanence as an integral
part of the site. It allows
uninterrupted viewing of the
landscape and architectural
design. The Low Level
Floodlight is outdoor lighting’s
missing link between parking
lot and building, providing
efficient lighting where design
sensitivity will not allow pole
mounted luminaires.

KIM LIGHTING
LLF-10: Direct Lens, Symmetric Downward Lighting
Distribution, Wall or Ceiling Mounted
The LLF-10 is the basic lighting instrument for horizontal surfaces
or up to 10° sloped ramps. It may also be cast into ceilings or
overhangs for superb illumination of adjacent walls. The LLF-10
should be specified for low level floodlighting where architectural
permanence, superb glare control, and a quality cast-aluminum
architectural appearance is desired.
LLF-20: Direct Lens, Asymmetric Right-Downward
Lighting Distribution, Wall Mounted
The LLF-20 contains an exclusive optical system specifically
engineered to light stairs or ramps having greater than 10° slope.
It is so efficient at lighting inclined surfaces that often one fixture will
do the entire job. The LLF-20 should be specified for unsurpassed
lighting efficiency and glare control, with permanence and quality
to complement the finest architecture and site design.
LLF-30: Direct Lens, Asymmetric Left-Downward
Lighting Distribution, Wall Mounted
The LLF-30 is exactly equal and opposite to the LLF-20. As such,
the specifier has complete flexibility in lighting stairways or ramps
from the right, left, or both sides. Refer to the photograph on
page 23 as an example of how one LLF-30 or LLF-20 can light an
entire stairway. Specify the LLF-30 for performance, permanence,
and a strong architectural character.
LLF-40: Direct Lens, Symmetric Upward Lighting
Distribution, Wall Mounted
The LLF-40 superbly illuminates building overhangs and ceilings for
aesthetics or for indirectly lighting pedestrian areas below. It can be
used outdoors or indoors where a high quality, low maintenance
luminaire is dictated by the architectural design. The smooth outer
surface of the tempered glass lens will stay clean and clear in the
inverted position, and will not yellow like plastic fixtures.
LLF-50: Concealed Lens, Symmetric Downward
Lighting Distribution, Wall Mounted
With its concealed lens and front light baffle, the LLF-50 is designed
for sensitive areas requiring absolute minimum fixture brightness.
The LLF-50 produces excellent light distribution for illuminating
horizontal surfaces or short stairways. Its strong architectural
appearance will enhance quality site design that is built for
permanence. Specify the black finish for minimum fixture brightness.
LLF-40
LLF-50
Shop
LLF-60: Concealed Lens with Guard, Symmetric
Downward Light Distribution, Wall Mounted
The LLF-60 has all the features of an LLF-50, with the addition of a
cast aluminum lens guard, and translucent opal white lens to
eliminate guard shadows. It should be specified in areas requiring
a high degree of vandal resistance, concealed light source, and
the permanence of heavy cast-aluminum construction. Specify the
black finish for minimum fixture brightness.

Mechanical Design
Housing
A single housing is common to all six fixture systems. It is a
one-piece precision die-cast, low copper (<0.6% Cu) aluminum
alloy to prevent corrosion when cast in concrete. The housing is
shipped ahead as a pour item; it contains no electrical components
to be damaged during the concrete pour or vandalized during
construction. Located beneath the housing is a large junction box,
with 1" NPT taps for through-wiring using common low temperature
wire. The housing is further protected by a clear anodize.
Electrical Modules
Each LLF fixture system has a self contained factory prewired
electrical module that snaps into the housing using keyhole
slots. The electrical module is shipped to the jobsite, along with
the reflector and door frame, when the project is ready for
completion. This allows the housing to remain empty during
construction so these critical components are not damaged by
moisture or vandalism.
Reflectors
All reflectors for the six fixture systems are hydroformed in
one-piece for strength and dimensional consistency. To insure
maintained reflectivity over years of service, all reflectors are
finished with the Alzak ® process. Each reflector is optically
designed for the specific fixture to produce maximum efficiency
with low brightness.
Door Frames
LLF-10/40
LLF-60
(LLF-50 without louver)
There is no substitute for the permanence and quality
appearance of die-cast aluminum. All LLF door frames are cast
with an attractive pebbled finish, available in five Super TGIC
powder coat paint colors applied over a titanated zirconium
conversion coating. Direct lens models LLF-10, LLF-20, and
LLF-30 are furnished standard with a thick tempered borosilicate
glass lens capable of withstanding considerable abuse.
An optional polycarbonate lens is available for projects where
extreme vandalism is anticipated. Door frames are fully gasketed,
weathertight, and retained with flush stainless steel screws.

Installation Process
1. Die-cast housings are stocked at the
factory, ready for quick shipment as a
pour item. Free of any electrical
components, the housing easily
attaches to forms with the supplied
screws, and can also be tied to the
reinforcing bar system. A large
junction box makes conduit entrance
and through wiring fast and simple.
When the forms are removed, a
protective cover keeps the housing
clean until the job is ready for
the finishing components.
2. When the project is ready for
completion, the finishing components
are quickly and easily installed. Self
contained and factory prewired, the
electrical module snaps into the fixture
using keyhole slots. Field wire
connections are made inside the
housing and inserted into the junction
box, where they are protected from
fixture heat.
3. The reflector is attached; a lamp is
inserted, and the fully gasketed door
frame is secured with flush captive
socket head screws.

Application Guidelines
Stairway Lighting
LLF-20 / LLF-30
Special Optical System
The LLF-20 and LLF-30 contain optical systems that are specifically
designed to light stairways or ramps greater than 10° slope. They
are individually hydroformed reflectors engineered for maximum
light efficiency on the stairway. The photograph on the top of
page 23 shows an LLF installation where the entire stairway is
illuminated by just one fixture. This photograph illustrates the correct
fixture placement, approximately 3' from the top stair, and 2' above
the stairway plane. Notice the entire stairway is illuminated, including
the vertical walls. This is partially due to surface reflections, which
are discussed on page 15.
Right and Left Light Distributions
For complete application flexibility, both right and left distributions
are offered. Most stairways can be lighted from one side only, since
the LLF-20 and LLF-30 produce a very wide light pattern.
Photometric curves shown in this catalog are for the LLF-20.
The LLF-30 is equal and opposite.
Tread Shadows
Longitudinal spacing of the LLF-20 and LLF-30 is primarily
controlled by the amount of tread shadow that is acceptable. When
Kim created the LLF concept, there were no established guidelines
to use in the application of this luminaire. Based on our lighting
experience and test observations, we recommend that fixture
spacing should not create a shadow greater than 75% of the tread
width. With a history of successful LLF jobs, the 75% tread shadow
rule appears to be a sound recommendation. Therefore, all LLF-20
and LLF-30 photometric charts show a dashed line where 75% of
the tread will be in shadow. Remember, longitudinal spacing must
also consider the lighting contribution from the lower fixture, if more
than one fixture is used.

a. 75% tread shadow is established by
Kim, based on field observations for
optimum visibility.
b. Mounting height of 2' is considered
ideal, as it will place fixture just
below the handrail. Higher mounting
heights should only be used if
fixture will not interfere with handrail.

LLF-20 / LLF-30
LLF-20
LLF-20
LLF-30
LLF-30
All LLF-30 photometrics
are mirrored versions
of LLF-20.
Stairway Photometrics
The LLF-30 is exactly equal and opposite to the LLF-20.
As such, the specifier has complete flexibility in lighting
stairways or ramps for the right, left, or both sides. For LLF-30
photometrics, simply visualize the LLF-20 charts inverted.
Stairway photometrics are not accurate for ramps because light
falling on horizontal stair treads is calculated differently than for
a sloped ramp surface. The LLF-10 should be used for ramps
up to 10° slope. Ramps greater than 10° should be lighted with
the LLF-20 or LLF-30. Consult representative for ramp
applications.

All stairway photometrics shown on pages 27-31 are for the
LLF-20, right-downward light distribution. Each chart is a plan
diagram of lighting on the stairway, allowing direct correlation to
your plot plan. A dashed line shows where 75% of the stair
tread will be in shadow. Photometrics are presented for stairway
angles of 20°, 25°, 30°, and 35°. If your stairway falls between
these angles, use the closest chart or linear interpolation.

Tread Shadow Distance
To calculate the tread shadow distance or any other
percentage of last tread shadow, use the following formula:
(Assume 2' mounting height.)
Tread Shadow Distance in ft. =
2S
TAN ∝ (1-S)
Tread Shadow Distance is shown
in plan view as a dashed line.
75% Tread
Shadow Distance
(See formula at left)
Where S is the acceptable amount of last-tread shadow
(75%=.75) and ∝ is the angle of the stairway plane.
NOTE: Each step is a horizontal surface. Therefore, all light
values are in horizontal footcandles as they would fall on the
stair treads.
