Kim Lighting 12 Volt / 120 Volt Performance

PERFORMANCE
Kim landscape luminaires are engineered to use the latest lamp technology including halogen and compact fluorescent. This assures maximum performance with
minimum energy consumption. Kim design philosophy emphasizes the creation of lighting effects and the harmony of fixture aesthetics with the surrounding landscape.

FINISHING
Eight-Stage Powder Coat (Aluminum Fixtures)
All Kim aluminum fixtures are finished with an eight-stage powder coat paint process. The key element of this finish is the Titanated Zirconium conversion coating, known as the best preparation for paint adhesion and corrosion resistance. This same pretreatment is used by the automotive industry. Components in direct contact with soil or water are provided additional corrosion protection by clear anodizing prior to Titanated Zirconium conversion coating. Following the pretreatment process, a Super TGIC powder coat is applied to all fixture surfaces. Super TGIC powder is specially formulated to be both mechanically durable and fade resistant.

Hand-Applied Verde (Brass, Copper, and Bronze Fixtures)
The formula and application procedure for Kim’s acid etched verde green patina was developed by the founder of Kim Lighting seven decades ago. The proprietary finish is hand applied to selected copper and bronze fixtures to simulate the natural patina that develops on these materials after years of exposure to sun and moisture. Hand application assures a uniform appearance.

A Note About Verde Patina Finishes
The Kim verde finish is an accelerated aging process duplicating the natural verde that forms on copper and bronze after extended exposure to outside air and humidity. Like natural verde, Kim verde is not permanent and will undergo considerable change depending on location and environment.

Verde can be worn away by rain, sprinklers, or surrounding wind-blown foliage. New verde will eventually form depending on humidity levels and the presence of airborne salts.

Kim Lighting LED Landscape Lighting Efficiency Leader

A primary advantage of new LED technology is efficiency. Conventional light-emitting processes involve generating excess heat or exciting gasses to obtain effective light levels. These processes waste significant energy because a huge portion of input electricity is not directed toward producing visible light. LEDs, however, employ a non-toxic chemical interaction that generates very little heat so a much higher percentage of the electrical demand is utilized toward light prodution, which cuts down on overall power consumption considerably.


BENEFITS
• Premium LED lighting solutions offer 50,000+ hours of illumination
• Perfect for residential, small and large commercial spaces, even indoor atriums
• Fully replaceable LED boards
• Control options provide self and automated monitoring to further reduce energy consumption
• 3-year limited manufacturer’s warranty; 25-years on brass and copper products

Kim Lighting Product by Applications

UPLIGHTING FOR DIRECTIONAL VIEWING
Above-grade accent lights are the logical choice when the lighted object can be viewed from one direction only. To prevent direct glare, fixtures are aimed away from observers. Place the accent lights behind shrubs to keep a natural looking landscape.

DOWNLIGHTING
For outdoor activity areas, fixtures placed above eye level provide efficient lighting for recreation, safety and security. Overlapping light patterns will soften shadows and create better uniformity. Mount fixtures to patios, gazebos, facades, eaves or trees.

MOONLIGHTING
The effect of moonlight filtering through trees is another pleasing and functional outdoor lighting technique. Both up and down lighting is used to create this effect. With fixtures properly placed in trees, both the trees and ground are beautifully illuminated. Ground lighting provides security, and is accented by shadows from leaves and branches.

SPOTLIGHTING
Special objects and architectural elements should be accented with fixtures that have good lamp shielding. Mounting overhead on eaves or patio structures minimizes glare. Grade mounted fixtures should be concealed with landscaping.

Honeywell Chosen by Consumers as the Overall Best Brand of Programmable Thermostats in the United States

Honeywell conducts extensive – and on-going – customer research to ensure the products they develop are simple-to-install and are easy-to-use. For instance, their Prestige programmable thermostat incorporates a patented, interview-based interface that walks a homeowner through the set-up process by asking a series of questions, such as “what time does the first person wake-up in the morning?” or “what time do you go to sleep at night?” The answers help the thermostat program itself – no owner’s manual is needed. The graphic user interface displays information in an easy-to-understand format, the on-board user’s manual provides definitions and directions for each display screen and can be customized to display in English, French or Spanish.

Some Honeywell programmable thermostats also have the ability to wirelessly communicate to accessory devices using the company’s RedLINK™ technology, the first wireless protocol developed exclusively for the HVAC industry. The thermostat can be used with an outdoor sensor that sends a signal to the thermostat to display outdoor temperature and humidity on the home screen. This makes it simple for the homeowner to get access to that information.
 
Finally, Honeywell thermostats are among the few thermostats that have been qualified under the National Electrical Manufacturer Association's (NEMA) new ENERGY AWARE™ program. When properly installed and used as directed, Honeywell estimates that homeowner’s can cut annual heating and cooling cost up to 33 percent – or by $200 each year – depending on geographic location.
