Chiara

Surface Luminaire, for effective low glare lighting

1.0
Clearvision overview

Clearvision Lighting has a 15-year pedigree in ergonomic and

environmental lighting. We have been at the leading edge of the
industry in adopting new technology and design techniques to
improve workplaces and reduce energy consumption.

Our appreciation of daylight has been apparent from the beginning.

One of our first innovations in ergonomics was Virtual Daylight® in
1997, which has since been copied by many other companies.

We focus on lens technologies (some patented) that are central to

our most successful products. We find that they’re an effective means
of optimising design between efficiency, glare control and useful light
distribution.

Clearvision is a project lighting company with a focus on customer

applications for our products. We therefore provide a full technical
support service–including Dialux (plug-in available), AutoCAD,
emergency test and control systems.

Please contact our technical department for design and product

related questions and sales for project quotations. All queries can be
addressed to enquiries@clearvisionlighting.com or on 01252 344011.

The Chiara

The Chiara is a surface mounted ceiling luminaire with a simple

combination of attractive appearance and high efficiency. The
anodised aluminium end caps work well with the curved lens optics to
provide crisp and well balanced luminance across the working plane,
walls and ceiling.

Using high efficiency T5 lamps with good output ratios (up to 72%) will
provide a good balance between high efficiency and a well lit space.
The Chiara is also a practical luminaire that is easy to maintain (e.g.
cleaning and relamping) and with low overall cost of ownership.

Chiara lenses
M45 (Standard)
The M45 lens is formed from layers of polymer material
to provide a very diffuse optic with higher transmission
than conventional opal materials. The diffusion is
created by combining micro-linear prismatic material
with a white diffuse layer. The common hotspot read
of the lamp is smoothed out by the microprism whilst
diffusion is enhanced.
The standard M45 K-series lens is retained within an
anodised aluminium frame and into the luminaire via
spring loaded polypropylene shootbolts. The end caps
are formed of translucent polycarbonate.
Q45
The Q45 lens is constructed from two layers, PETG
and Polycarbonate. The lower layer has a number of
circular Fresnel radial prism, which create the visible
‘fisheye’ pattern.
Both layers are retained within a frame of anodised
aluminium extrusion with polycarbonate end caps. The
lens is designed for retention within the luminaire body
via spring loaded polypropylene shoot bolts.
The Q45 optics are the result of the relationship
between the radial Fresnel prism and the translucent
upper layer, which creates a 3D effect within the
module. The light is spread out by the fisheye optics of
the radial prisms. Incident light is segmented into the
appearance of multiple sources. This combination of
optics has a strong visual effect.
The lenses are designed for interior use but the optical
materials are rated as having good resistance to UV
discolouration at exterior levels. The materials – PETG
and PC – are both resistant to abrasion and impact
which has a Class 1Y, 950°C glow wire, non toxic
rating.
Technical

The design of the Chiara considered the stress factors

determining longevity of surface luminaires. The
endcap was a considered point of stress that needed
to be robust. The solid aluminium ends of the Chiara
are the response to this concern.

Ease of maintenance was also an issue. A fitting may

look good initially, but if it is difficult to relamp, maintain
or clean, it is likely to show signs of wear & tear within
a short period. The shootbolt opening lens that can
hang free during relamping was considered the best
approach to the problems of maintenance.

The effectiveness of the fitting was always going to be

important. In this meaning effectiveness requires good
lighting on both walls and ceiling as well as downwards
onto the task area. This efficient spread of light allows
the fittings to be spaced further apart than normal.
