If three heads are better than one, MaxLite’s StaxMax LED Flood Light makes an ideal outdoor luminaire. Its chassis holds one, two, or three 135-watt modules, which can be angled independently of each other for multidirectional illumination from a single mounting point. The fixture is constructed of gray powdercoated die-cast aluminum (which acts as a heat sink), stainless-steel components, and a tempered glass lens.

Light quality'and not necessarily brighter light'can deeply affect how viewers see color and texture, so Xicato has tuned color gamut areas to create its Vibrant Series, an LED solution that renders cleaner whites, more brilliant reds, pinks, and blues, and greater depth and detail. The 1¾”-diameter module can be used by curators, designers, and retailers to highlight particular displays without affecting the color temperature of the surrounding space.
