20W to 75W Helio Amenity LED Post-Top Lantern IP66 CCT

20W to 75W HELIO Amenity LED Post-Top Lantern – Wattage & CCT Selectable IP66

The HELIO Amenity LED Post-Top Lantern is a high-quality architectural exterior luminaire designed for pathways, landscaped areas, car parks, residential developments, public spaces, commercial premises and other amenity-lighting applications where both appearance and lighting performance are important.

The lantern combines a contemporary post-top design with selectable wattage and selectable colour temperature, allowing the light output and appearance to be configured on site to suit the individual project.

Four wattage settings are available — 20W, 38W, 56W and 75W — providing lumen outputs from approximately 2,500 to 8,800 lumens at 4000K. Colour temperature can also be selected between 3000K warm white and 4000K cool white.

A wide 145° asymmetric optical distribution provides controlled forward illumination across pathways, roads, car parks and surrounding amenity areas, while the robust IP66 and IK08 construction makes the HELIO suitable for permanent exterior installations.

Wattage Selectable – 20W to 75W

The HELIO incorporates four selectable power settings within the same luminaire.

This allows the light output to be adjusted during installation without changing the complete lantern.

At 4000K, the published outputs are:

• 20W – 2,500 lumens
• 38W – 4,500 lumens
• 56W – 6,600 lumens
• 75W – 8,800 lumens

The lower settings can be used for pathways, residential areas and smaller amenity spaces, while the higher settings provide increased illumination for car parks, access roads and larger commercial areas.

The selectable-output design also provides additional flexibility if lighting requirements change in the future.

 

CCT Selectable – 3000K or 4000K

The HELIO allows the colour temperature to be selected between 3000K and 4000K.

3000K Warm White

3000K provides a warmer and softer night-time appearance.

This can be particularly suitable for:

• Residential developments
• Parks and landscaped areas
• Pedestrian pathways
• Hospitality environments
• Rural locations
• Environmentally sensitive sites

The warmer colour temperature can also support dark-sky-conscious lighting schemes when combined with suitable luminaire positioning, output levels and optical control.

4000K Cool White

4000K provides a neutral white appearance suited to applications where clearer visibility and a more commercial appearance are preferred.

Typical applications include:

• Commercial car parks
• Access roads
• Industrial sites
• Schools
• Commercial developments
• Public spaces

 

145° Asymmetric Amenity Optic

The HELIO uses a wide 145° asymmetric optical distribution.

Rather than distributing equal amounts of light in every direction, the asymmetric optic is designed to project useful illumination outward from the lighting column and across the target area.

This makes the HELIO particularly useful for lighting columns installed along the edge of pathways, car parks, roads and landscaped spaces.

Correct column positioning, mounting height, spacing and selected wattage should all be considered when designing the lighting scheme.

 

Contemporary Post-Top Design

Unlike a conventional side-entry street lantern, the HELIO is designed to sit centrally on top of the lighting column.

Its circular architectural form makes it particularly suitable for projects where the appearance of the lighting installation is important as well as the lighting performance.

This makes the HELIO a strong choice for:

• Residential developments
• Landscaped car parks
• Pedestrian areas
• Parks
• Schools and universities
• Hotels and leisure facilities
• Commercial developments
• Public realm projects

Designed for 76mm Post-Top Mounting

The HELIO is supplied for direct mounting onto a 76mm diameter column top or spigot.

A 60mm adaptor is also available, allowing the luminaire to be used with a wider range of lighting-column configurations.

This makes the HELIO particularly well suited to Wydels lighting columns, including lower-height columns commonly used for amenity and pedestrian lighting applications.

 

Tool-Free Access

The HELIO incorporates tool-free access to help simplify installation, configuration and future maintenance.

This allows access to the internal controls without requiring the luminaire to be completely dismantled and makes it easier to adjust the wattage or colour-temperature settings where necessary.

 

Robust Exterior Construction

The HELIO uses a die-cast aluminium housing with a powder-coated finish designed to provide long-term protection in exterior environments.

Its IP66 rating provides protection against dust and powerful water jets, while its IK08 rating provides resistance against accidental impact. Wydels Electrical Wholesalers

The luminaire is designed to operate between -30°C and +50°C, making it suitable for permanent outdoor installations throughout the UK.

 

100,000-Hour L80 Performance

The HELIO has a published lumen-maintenance rating of L80 at 100,000 hours.

L80 means that the LED system is designed to retain approximately 80% of its initial light output at the stated operating lifetime.

Combined with its 5-year warranty and robust exterior construction, this makes the HELIO suitable for long-term commercial and public-space lighting projects.

 

Typical Applications

• Pedestrian pathways
• Parks and landscaped spaces
• Commercial car parks
• Residential developments
• Apartment developments
• Public realm areas
• Schools and universities
• Hotels and leisure facilities
• Commercial premises
• Access roads
• Courtyards
• Amenity areas
• Retail developments
• Healthcare sites
• General exterior area lighting

 

HELIO Amenity LED Post-Top Lantern Technical Specification:

Dark-Sky-Conscious Lighting Option

The selectable 3000K colour temperature makes the HELIO particularly useful for projects where reducing the environmental impact of exterior lighting is an important consideration.

Using the 3000K setting together with appropriate light levels, mounting heights, column positions and operating controls can help create a more sensitive exterior lighting scheme.

For projects with specific planning or environmental requirements, Wydels can provide a lighting design using suitable mounting positions and output levels.

Complete Your Amenity Lighting System

The HELIO can be combined directly with our lighting columns to create a complete post-top amenity-lighting system.

The standard 76mm mounting arrangement is compatible with suitable Wydels lighting columns, while a 60mm adaptor can be supplied where required.

Our lighting-column accessories include fuse cut-outs, column keys and other components required to complete the installation.

For projects requiring different luminaire styles or optical distributions, browse our full LED Floodlights & Street Lanterns range.

 

Free Professional Lighting Design

Wydels provides a free professional lighting-design service to help determine suitable HELIO wattages, quantities, mounting heights and lighting-column positions for your project.

Our lighting calculations can assess average illumination, minimum and maximum illumination, uniformity and the overall distribution of light across pathways, car parks, amenity areas and other exterior spaces.

The selectable wattage of the HELIO also allows the output to be optimised as part of the lighting design rather than simply installing the luminaire at its maximum 75W setting.

Send us your site drawing, dimensions or proposed lighting-column positions and our team can prepare a professional lighting layout, performance calculations and detailed supply quotation.
