VAILO, a manufacturer of premium lighting solutions, has introduced an addition to its Zenith Gen-V lineup by unveiling the Zenith Gen-V Zero Tilt luminaire.
This new variant, boasting 1000W output, is designed to cater to high-demand environments such as airport aprons, sea ports, and court sports facilities, the company said in a news release.
Aaron Hickmann, CEO and founder of VAILO, expressed pride in the company’s latest innovation, highlighting its commitment to continuous improvement through client-driven research and development efforts.
“Thanks to invaluable client feedback, our engineering team is constantly at the forefront of innovation, creating new products and enhancing our existing offerings,” said Hickmann.
The Zenith Gen-V Zero Tilt joins VAILO’s portfolio of specialised luminaires, including the recently introduced Zenith Gen-V PC-Amber tailored for wildlife-sensitive areas.
Additionally, VAILO said it is advancing its sports lighting capabilities with a new control system and advanced mounting brackets, reinforcing its position as an industry leader in tailored lighting solutions.
Phil McKenzie, General Manager of Engineering and Production at VAILO, highlighted the technical advancements of the Zenith Gen-V Zero Tilt, emphasising its ability to minimise upward waste light—a critical factor in mitigating light pollution.
“Upward waste light can pose significant issues in various applications, as it leads to increased sky glow and light pollution,” McKenzie explained.
He added, “The Zenith Gen-V Zero Tilt ensures that all light is precisely directed where it is most needed, enhancing visibility and safety without contributing to skyglow.
McKenzie also noted the luminaire’s default correlated colour temperature (CCT) of 4000K, designed to minimise blue light emissions known to disrupt human circadian rhythms.
“This means that it produces lower levels of blue light, which we know is better for human circadian rhythms,” he added.
