PARADOX
ARCHITECTURAL IN-GRADE
Paradox: A situation which appears contradictory but contains truths worth considering.
For decades the lighting industry has turned to Hydrel’s revolutionary flow-through
product solutions when quality and performance matter most. For Hydrel, the paradox
was meeting customer needs for minimal luminaire depth and aperture size, or situations
where flow-through technology was not applicable. With this in mind, Hydrel set out to
establish the standard for sealed in-grade illumination. The result: Paradox™ Architectural
In-grade Luminaires.
The Paradox™ Architectural In-grade is a compact, high-performance luminaire designed
for up lighting architectural and landscape features, while providing the best modular
sealed technology in the lighting industry today.
Hydrel offers special insight into the complex demands of providing aesthetic, efficient
and durable lighting for in-grade applications. With a patent-pending junction box
design and proprietary sealing technology, the Paradox™ is easy to install and highly
durable. Proven Knife-Edge technology provides a watertight seal. The patent-pending
door design maintains a wide source offering, allowing the light emitting area to exceed
that of much larger luminaires. Hydrel’s cool lens model is able to reduce heat by as
much as 30%. These performance features combined with the fixture’s low profile and
simple styling make the Paradox™ series the first choice for sealed in-grade lighting.

SPECIFICATIONS
DOOR MATERIAL
Die cast bronze or stainless steel.
HOUSING
Compression molded polyester with patent pending internal direct access junction box for throughbranch wiring. Internal junction box provides 44 in3
volume for ease of wire connections and to ensure
proper seal during installation. The housing is U.V.
stabilized, impact and corrosion resistant for use
in all types of environments. The housing utilizes a
side-car configuration and houses both the lamp
and power module components as well as the
lens/ door finishing section.
LIGHT DISTRIBUTION
Narrow spot through wide flood available. See ordering guide for complete list of distribution options.
REFLECTORS
(Non-reflectorized lamps): High purity anodized
specular or semi-specular materials in various
distributions provide maximum performance and
uniformity. Lamps can be aimed 15° from vertical
and rotated 360°. All configurations available with
Hydrel’s Aim-Lock® indexed and locking components to allow re-lamping and maintenance
without re-aiming.
LENS / SEAL
Tempered clear flat borosilicate glass. The patent
pending door / lens seal uses proprietary Knife-Edge
technology to secure the assembly to the housing.
Three captive screws hold the assembly in place.
The lens is custom molded to provide maximum
aperture opening and advanced thermal
characteristics.
CONDUIT ENTRIES
Two molded ¾” NPT side entries standard, bottom
hubs are molded with a ¾” NPT membrane
knockout.
POWER MODULE
Integrally mounted modular power supply, prewired
with quick connectors for easy installation and
maintenance. Ballasts are rated for low starting
temperatures. High power factor magnetic
ballasts standard, electronic ballasts also available.
FINISH
Natural bronze or stainless steel with a brushed
finish. Bronze doors may be painted. See ordering
guide for color options.

HYDREL INNOVATION
EASY AIMING
Fixture aiming is a critical element to many projects
and designers are concerned with the methods to
accomplish it. Paradox™ Series lamps can be
aimed 15° from vertical and rotated 360°.
The Paradox™ Series uses a mechanical aiming
process. Aim-Lock® indexed and locking components allow maintenance and relamping to be
accomplished without re-aiming.

DOOR / LENS ASSEMBLY
Hydrel’s patent pending door design utilizes proven
Knife-Edge technology to ensure a watertight seal.
Three captive door screws maintain aesthetic
integrity and are designed to allow for positive
sealing without the ability to damage the grommet
through over-tightening. By incorporating a custom
molded lens design, the Paradox™ Architectural
In-grade provides maximum aperture opening while
maintaining a minimal footprint. For added safety,
Hydrel offers an optional anti-slip lens (pictured right).
REDUCED LENS TEMPERATURES
A major challenge in the design of in-grade fixtures
is the removal of heat to protect components and
provide lower lens temperatures. When the potential exists for direct human contact with lenses, care
is required to protect pedestrians from injury. The
Paradox™ Architectural In-grade Cool Lens model
(PDX7CL) utilizes a combination brass top ring, heat
sink, and reflective secondary IR lens filter to reduce
heat by 30% when necessary. As with the use of all
luminaires in pedestrian areas, Hydrel recommends
that the proper care be taken in the selection of
luminaire location, lamp wattage and distribution,
in order to minimize pedestrian risk.

BEST FOR A REASON
SOURCE
The Paradox™ Architectural In-grade is a compact,
high performance luminaire, and at 8 inches in depth
the shallowest fixture able to accommodate lamps to
70W HID. Developed with the industry’s leading technology in mind, the Paradox™ Series is also available
with LED sources. Incorporating the superior lumen
maintenance and optimized energy performance of
LEDs into Hydrel’s revolutionary sealed in-grade once
again sets the standard for design and performance
in architectural in-grade lighting.

JUNCTION BOX
Hydrel’s patent pending junction box design offers
44 in3 volume for simpler installation and utilizes
proven Knife-Edge technology to ensure a watertight seal. A single fastener makes installation 50%
faster and ensures even compression at the gasket,
offering the highest protection against moisture
intrusion for sealed in-grade technology.
ACCESSORIES
INTERNAL SOURCE SHIELDS / GLARE CONTROL
The Paradox™ Architectural In-grade features
internal glare control options for a number of distributions, providing clean, architecturally pleasing
surfaces. These shields fasten internally, eliminating
glare outside the desired distribution pattern.
COLOR CONTROL
Achieved through color filters or monochromatic
LEDs, color is an important parameter for lighting
designers. Hydrel has been at the forefront in
providing color options for a wide range of projects
and applications.
DECORATIVE ROCK GUARD (pictured right)
With Hydrel’s decorative rock guard, safety no longer detracts from the aesthetic value of a lighting
design. The patent pending rock guard is offered
in cast bronze or stainless steel, is integrally cast as
part of the door, and meets safety and luminaire
preservation objectives as a singular die-cast
component.

THE CATHEDRAL OF THE MOST BLESSED SACRAMENT
Facade lighting on the cathedral was developed to accentuate the ornate character of the
architecture, rather than flatly flood walls. Hydrel
in-grades are strategically located to highlight
various elements. Each in-grade uses a 70-watt
ceramic metal halide lamp for color qualities
similar to that of incandescent, but with six to ten
times the life and much better efficiency.
