Apollo, 35w Metal Halide, wide flood beam, IP65
The Apollo has an adjustable stirrup bracket for mounting on walls or an optional ground spike. The lens has “through-flow”
slots to allow water to flow off the lens even if pointed directly upward or fitted with a glare shield. It uses a 35
watt single-ended G8.5 metal halide lamp (Order lamps separately) and polished reflector to project
a 60 degree symmetric circular beam for up-lighting trees: the central 60 degree beam is ideal for up-lighting from beneath
and is complemented by peripheral light spread for coverage of canopies.
colour of canopy & structure: perception of brightness varies between different people.
with one Apollo35 36 degree spotlight and position other Apollo35 spotlights to illuminate the outer canopy. Look up
through the tree you propose to light – if you can see up through the branches, then light will penetrate the canopy
and structure as well. If not, use up-lights to light the tree externally.
Lighting of trees with very open canopy may be brighter than desired – consider Apollo35 35w metal halide spotlights
or Elipta LED spotlights as a lower power alternative. This advice is for general guidance and subject
to branch & canopy structure and foliage density, colour & translucence.
Lamp type
Ceramic type CDMTC35 35 watt single-ended 2750K warm white metal halide lamp for
is recommended for long lamp life and colour stability for purple/red/yellow/green
foliage trees. HQITC35K4 white lamp gives cooler lighting effect suitable for trees
with blue/grey foliage such as some pines and cedars. The lamps can not be switched
on and of in rapid succession, they need time to warm up and cool down.
ORDER LAMPS SEPARATELY.
240v Installation – See Instructions & Data Sheets Tab
Stirrup bracket for mounting on walls or an optional ground spike. 20mm IP68 gland provided for connection to mains supply.
HO7-RNF 3 core rubber cable recommended for connection to armoured supply cable via a separate weatherproof junction
box or underground joint kit (not supplied)
Using a single RCD for large numbers of 240v fittings is not recommended due to the risk of nuisance tripping. We advise the use of separate RCD protection for each circuit and a maximum of 12 fittings per RCD. Where a garden lighting installation of more than 12 spike mount or recessed lights per circuit is proposed, we suggest the installation of 12v units with transformers, which results in a significantly higher fault tolerance and reliability in the total installation
Environmental impact
Care should be taken for the environment and local wildlife to maintain the ecological balance. Insects, bats, wildlife
can all be affected by light pollution. The warmer colour spectrum of 2,700 Kelvins does not interfere with insects
and general wildlife as much as the blue colour spectrum of light around 6,000 kelvins which can disrupt their normal night-time
activity. This also applies to bats where an anti-glare light fitting works better as well as reducing the overall light
pollution in the area. You must also be mindful of your neighbours and the effect your lighting can have on them and shining
a flood light into their windows at night will cause them distress. Try to keep the light in a downward position and local
to the area you want to illuminate and even if you want to illuminate tall trees it can be done in a sympathetic way by placing
a ground buried or surface spike flood light directly under the trees to illuminate the canopy. Some light fittings also
have an anti-glare shield fitted to reduce light pollution.
