The Eclipse wall light system is designed to project light in towards the wall at a reflector which then reflects the light out to the floor to eliminate glare.
Across the country, instead of sitting through movies in hard, rigid seats, moviegoers are relaxing in recliners and, in many cases, are being offered a full-service food and beverage service right at their seat. This phenomenon has not only changed how people enjoy the movies, but it has changed the way designers and architects think about lighting. The existing and legacy wall safety light systems were designed for upright viewing, thus when guests lay back in a recliner their movie experience is adversely affected by glare coming from the old systems. The Eclipse system is designed to project light in towards the wall at a reflector which then reflects the light out to the floor to eliminate glare. Additionally, the new configuration for seating in these theaters require longer and wider landings at each aisle. In the past, to produce the safety code required light levels of .2fc (foot candles) evenly across the steps up to the seating a wall system on both sides of the steps or a rail system and wall system together had to be used.
The patent pending Eclipse design projects .2fc from one side up to 5-6 feet depending on mounting height. This reduces some of the cost of materials to convert, as well as some of the labor costs. The Eclipse system also features Tivoli Titanium PCB engine for quality and consistent color. Among the features are its exclusive light baffle that is used to reduce patron glare; joiner brackets for continuous runs; angled brackets for stairways and inner and outer brackets for wall corners.
