Martin Architectural's Inground fixture.
Denmark - Martin Architectural's Exterior Inground 200 Series is a durable range of IP 65/67-rated inground luminaires that represents a breakthrough for its ability to integrate colour-changing technology into a standard uplight luminaire. Designed for all terrains and weather, the Inground 200 offers high-performance tools for dynamic uplight illumination of facades, columns, structures, trees and landscapes.

The series offers three different colour systems for applications of varying complexity: firstly, Single Colour - designed as a simple means to creating colourful lighting schemes, the single colour system lets you choose any colour from a collection of 40 dichroic filters. Custom colours are also available. The single-colour system also provides manual intensity control for fine-tuned illumination. Secondly, Six Colours - offers a programmable colour-changing system, with a selectable palette of up to six colours. Finally, Full Spectrum CMY - the most advanced and versatile option, the CMY colour system offers a virtually limitless choice, with a programmable dimmer for true 0-100% intensity control.

Four different lens systems are available for a variety of beam angle options, medium (32°) wide (56°), very wide (98°), and wallwash. The series includes a patent-pending wallwash optical system with glass reflector and long life CDM 150W discharge lamp. An OptiWhite glass front ensures a high transmission, purer white light and true colour projection with no colour shift. The system guarantees even, broad illumination of walls and surfaces with uniform light distribution starting at ground level.

Designed to the highest quality, all Inground products are weatherproofed to withstand constant exposure to rain, heat and frost. An IP65/67 rating guarantees safe and reliable operation in all types of weather. Separate compartments for electrical gear, PCB and junction box reduce heat to extend component life. Double glass protection reduces the surface temperature, allowing for safe installation in applications near pedestrians or delicate planting. Depending on the complexity required, Inground luminaries can either be operated by PC software, or without the aid of an external controller, via a built-in program or master/slave relationship.
