Glare Guards

These Glare Guards are a modular accessory suitable for many HUNZA MR16 luminaires.
They serve two purposes: firstly, to protect the eye from the direct glare or sparkle effect from the lamp; secondly, to provide an adjustable shield to direct unwanted light away from passers-by.
When the Glare Guard is fitted to a ground mounted fixture such as a Pole Lite or Spike Spot, it helps the luminaire to disappear into the landscape or flowerbed, so only the illumination effect is observed.
This accessory is ideal for a Wall Down Lite or Pillar Lite in an entrance to reduce the harshness of the illumination.
The Glare Guard is also available in a Moonlight option (#GGML), which is a cylindrical shape instead of having the front cut at an angle. This version is used when a luminaire such as an NPS Spot or Pond Lite is mounted or suspended in a tree to create moonlighting effects.
Available in a choice of UV stable powder coated finish (10 standard colours), solid copper or 316 stainless steel.
The Glare Guard does not change the IP rating of the luminaire when fitted.
The Glare Guard allows the use of higher wattage lamps on HUNZA MR16 landscape fixtures supplied in the USA and Canada. When this accessory is fitted, the maximum wattage increases from 20w to 35w for fixtures such as the Spike Spots, NPS Spot, Single and Twin Pole Lites and Twin Bar Lite.
Hex Cell Louvre Kit 
The Hex Cell Louvre Kit consists of an extension component for the luminaire body, a Hex Cell Louvre insert and an extra lens and gasket (O-ring).
The main purpose of the Louvre accessory is to protect the eye from the sideways glare emitted from the lamp filament, without dramatically changing the look of the luminaire.
The kit also allows a second lens accessory to be fitted to the luminaire.
The Kit is supplied standard with an extra clear lens, however other lens options are available such as a Diffuser, Linear Spread Lens, Dichroic Colour Lens and Frost Lens.
Available in a choice of UV stable powder coated finish (10 standard colours), solid copper or 316 stainless steel.
When a Hex Cell Louvre Adaptor is fitted it does not affect the IP rating of the luminaire.
Lens Options
Dichroic Colour
Coloured lenses add a creative dimension to landscape lighting, providing the ability to enhance the appearance of outdoor scenes in different ways. HUNZA offers a choice of four dichroic coloured lens options, including Red (#LENSR), Blue (#LENSB), Yellow (#LENSY) and Green (#LENSG).
Frosted/Diffuser
Most HUNZA fixtures can be specified with an optional frosted or a diffuser lens. The effect of these lenses is to soften the light beam, providing a more diffused lighting effect with less beam definition.
Linear Spread
HUNZA also offers a Linear Spread Lens (#LENSSPREAD) as a further option on many MR16 luminaires. The effect of this lens is to expand and flatten the light beam to cover a wider surface on one plane. The spread effect can be varied by rotating the lens inside the luminaire.
All the above lenses are easily installed by replacing the standard clear lens supplied with the luminaire, or they can be specified when ordering.
Stepped Lenses
Many HUNZA fixtures are now supplied with a stepped lens, which offers increased glass strength and lower maintenance. Stepped lenses can significantly reduce the maintenance requirements of outdoor landscape luminaires by providing a flush finish with the flange. This prevents water pooling and depositing dirt on the surface of the lens, which restricts light output.
Mounting Canisters
These mounting canisters provide an efficient and professional method of mounting HUNZA recessed luminaires.
The mounting canister is installed during the rough-in stage of construction, avoiding damage to the luminaire itself, and the final stages of installation are completed at a later stage.
The canister holds the luminaire in place by means of two high-temperature, heavy-duty gaskets and this allows installation with no visible screws on the front trim.
Some HUNZA recessed luminaires are supplied complete with canisters but in other instances the canisters need to be specified as an option due to the variety of choices. Please check the specification sheets carefully when ordering recessed luminaires.
Canister options are as follows:
STEP LITE CANISTERS:
SLCAN – Step Lite Canister Aluminium (for concrete/stone)
SLCAN 200 – Step Lite Canister 200 Aluminium (for concrete/stone)
CANSS – Step Lite Canister 316 stainless steel (for limestone or locations near the sea)
DKCAN – Deck Mount Canister (for wood, decks etc)
FLUCAN – Fluorescent Canister PVC (for fittings with Fluorescent/LED lamps only)
SLCAN/INT – Internal Stud Canister (for cavity walls with studs)
ELCAN – Euro Canister (for MR11 Euro recessed luminaires in stone/concrete)
ELDKCAN – Euro Deck Mount Canister (for MR11 Euro recessed luminaires in wood)
FLOOR AND PATH LITE CANISTERS:
FLCAN – Floor/Path Lite Canister Aluminium (for new concrete)
FLCAN 200 – Floor Canister 200 Aluminium
SLCAN – Step Lite Canister Aluminium (for core drill installation)
CANSS – Step Lite Canister 316 stainless steel (for limestone or locations near the sea)
DKCAN – Deck Mount Canister (for wood, decks etc)
FLUCAN – Fluorescent Canister PVC (for fittings with Fluorescent/LED lamps only)
ELCAN – Euro Canister (for MR11 Euro recessed luminaires in stone/concrete)
ELDKCAN – Euro Deck Mount Canister (for MR11 Euro recessed luminaires in wood)
The Deck Mount Canister is adjustable and is suitable for use in varying thicknesses of timber – from 10mm (3/8”) – 75mm (3”).
Super Spike 
The Super Spike is a multi-purpose unit which adds significant stability when used to mount the NPS Spot Adjustable or HUNZA pole mount luminaires in loose or sandy soil.
The Super Spike is supplied in kit form with two snap-in adaptors to be used with either ½” NPS luminaires or pole-style luminaires.
The dome junction box is designed to facilitate effortless cable connections, while being discreetly hidden by the dome.
The HUNZA Super Spike is constructed from black UV stable glass filled polypropylene. There is sufficient space for a cable connection under the dome.
It is suitable for use with aluminium, copper and 316 stainless steel luminaires.
Tree Mount Kit 
The Tree Mount Kit is used to mount the NPS Spot Adjustable in a tree to create moon lighting effects, to light high canopies or for high-level cross illumination.
A cable connection can be made at the rear of the dome.
The Kit consists of a mounting dome and three special 316 stainless steel lag bolts. The bolts initially distance the dome 40mm (1 5/8”) out from the trunk, which allows the tree room to grow without causing any harm.
The HUNZA Tree Mount Kit is constructed from black UV stable glass filled polypropylene.
There is sufficient space for a cable connection under the dome.
An alternative mounting option is the Tree Mount Kit Rubber Strap. The kit consists of a mounting dome and a one metre adjustable rubber strap, which expands as the tree grows.
It is suitable for use with aluminium, copper and 316 stainless steel luminaires.
Wall Box Adapter Kit 
The Wall Box Adaptor Kit is designed to allow easy installation of wall mounted fixtures to standard USA 3/0 and 4/0 junction boxes. The kit includes a mounting strap and the necessary screws. Available in standard finishes to suit all fixtures. Supplied with Retro wall mounted fixtures but must be ordered separately for 12 volt luminaires.
Anti-Syphon

Many ground mounted luminaires are fitted with a specially designed Anti-Syphon system to reduce the likelihood of water entering the fixture through the cable.
Where the Anti- Syphon is not fitted as standard, it can be specified in some instances as an option. This system is designed to counter the problem of wicking (siphoning) of water through the supply cable into the lamp housing, causing water to condense and dramatically shorten the life of the lamp, lamp holder and luminaire. Siphoning is caused by the expansion and contraction of air inside the luminaire due to heat generated by the lamp. As the lamp heats up, the air expands and is forced down into the supply cable.
The problem manifests itself when the fixture enters the cooling cycle and the air cools to create considerable suction inside the lamp housing and supply cables. The joint between the luminaire cable and the cable from the transformer becomes critical at this stage because a leaking or poor cable joint will allow water to be siphoned up the cable directly into the luminaire. Unless this cycle is broken this action will dramatically reduce the life of the luminaire.
Cable Joint Kit
The Cable Joint Kit is designed to join two separate cables together using crimp sleeves and an adhesive heat shrink. A Cable Joint Kit includes two yellow crimp sleeves 6mm² and a 150mm long 12/4 black adhesive heat shrink.
