Kaleidoscope Specifications Kaleidoscope standard elements have been engineered to meet building codes across the U.S. Stringent load tests were performed by Landscape Forms. Based on this data, structural engineers calculated snow and wind load ratings for all standard elements. Kaleidoscope meets: Wind load of 90 mph, exposure B (UBC) Snow load of 40 lbs. per square foot 116 1/4" 201 3/4" Footings Kaleidoscope posts must be mounted on concrete footings. Mounting plates are to be 6" below grade, leveling bolts are used to level posts to receive canopies or walls. Ground and footing preparation is necessary. This system of below grade footings and sturdy steel posts is the foundation for the structural integrity of Kaleidoscope. 85 1/2" 5 3/4" 104 1/4" 118" 85 1/2" 85 1/2" 5 3/4" 104 1/4" 118" Low Voltage Lighting Low voltage lighting (1.2 volts) is available.

7 SMART SHELTER Smart Shelter is an outdoor transit shelter that integrates Landscape Forms Kaleidoscope canopy and structure with solar powered lighting and advanced light-emitting diode (LED) technology. Smart Shelter s combination of high-design structure and cutting edge solar lighting is unique in the industry. Smart Shelter was developed in response to customer requests for an illuminated transportation shelter requiring no external power that could reliably meet the tough demands of urban environments. It is a rugged, durable, cost-effective and low maintenance solution for cities and transit agencies that enhances safety, security and service. Safety Smart Shelter supports public safety during nighttime hours. People using the shelter can see curbs and pavement for safer footing. Dark corners are illuminated, enabling users to see who is in the shelter before they enter. Continuous low-level lighting reduces loitering and vandalism. Security Smart Shelter lights continue to function even in power emergencies. The level of light in the occupied shelter enables waiting riders to see the faces of other people a key factor in measures of comfort and security. Service Smart Shelter increases passenger visibility for transit operators, reducing rider pass-bys, a major transit system complaint. It enables occupants to read a paper while waiting for their ride. Well-lit shelters reinforce the image of transit systems as customer friendly. Smart Shelter is a self-contained system. The canopy is supported by a strong steel structure and fitted outside with a solar engine consisting of solar panel, battery-pack and power management microprocessor. Thin, low profile solar panels are neatly integrated into the canopy, avoiding the visual clutter associated with some solar technology. Under the canopy, light fixtures illuminated by sixteen white high-intensity LEDs provide all-night low level light and programmable higher level light on demand. Because it requires no external power, Smart Shelter eliminates disruptions in service and the trenching and installation costs associated with hardwiring. Smart Shelter lighting is designed to operate with no scheduled maintenance for up to 5 years, after which the battery packs can be replaced and recycled.

8 The Benefits of Being Smart: Specifications: Smart Shelter is solar powered. It is environmentally responsible in its reliance on sustainable energy. The absence of hardwiring saves on installation, maintenance and energy costs. The use of a renewable energy resource enhances the profile of public transportation as a sustainable enterprise. Smart Shelter is off the grid. In case of power emergencies due to natural or man-made causes, it continues to provide light. Smart Shelter is intelligent. Microprocessor technology automatically turns lights on at dusk and off at dawn. Smart Shelter is efficient. LED lamps are powered by silicon chips which require a much smaller electrical charge than incandescent bulbs, waste almost no energy through heat dissipation, are designed to produce a single color (determined by application) so require no filters, and focus light without need for additional optical components. And high-intensity LEDs have an average life of 100,000 hours. As a result, they are 100 times as efficient at producing light as incandescent bulbs and last about 20 times longer. Smart Shelter is state of the art. It integrates solar powered LED lighting developed for commercial navigation where durability and reliability are the bottom line. The crystalline solar panel has been tested under extreme environmental conditions and is up to 14% more efficient than solar panels used in consumer products. These lights are used by the US armed forces and in industrial/commercial applications, including buoys, piers, wharves and aquaculture facilities, around the world. How Smart Shelter Works: Support Posts structural steel Canopy aluminum extrusion frames perforated metal panels Metal Finish Pangard II Powdercoat Standard, optional and custom colors available Mounting Anchor bolted to engineered footings Illuminated Area ~1.5 m x 3 m (may vary by geographic and operating conditions) Illumination Level (all night) 1.0 foot candles at seat level (11 lux) Illumination Level (upon activation) 3.0 foot candles at seat level (33 lux) Output Color Bright, pure white light source On time per activation 5 minutes default Illumination technology High-brightness LEDs Lifespan of LEDs 100,000 hours Luminaire dimensions 115mm square Solar Panel Flexible, triple-junction-silicon solar cells protected with UV stabilized polymers Battery Pure-lead thin plate with starved-electrolyte Fully recyclable Power Management Automatic light control adjusts illumination intensity and autonomy according to prevailing weather and solar conditions The solar panel collects energy from the sun and converts it to electrical current. Energy is stored in a fully recyclable lead-acid battery that provides a large energy capacity for its size and delivers extremely reliable power output over a long period of time. (expected battery life is five years) The solar panel begins charging at dawn and discharging at dusk when the light automatically goes on. Microprocessor technology ensures that the light will turn on at exactly the same time under the same light conditions. Smart Shelter requires adequate sunlight and suitable ambient temperature to function effectively. It is a viable solution for areas with an average of at least 3 hours or more sunlight per day year round, at latitudes within 60º North or South, and at a temperature range of 22º F to 122º F. For colder temperatures, a cold weather package is available, utilizing Genesis lead-acid batteries rated to -40º F. Care must be taken in the placement of shelters. Even in sunny locations the light will not function if the shelter canopy is in the shade for most of the day. Smart Shelter will provide a minimum of ten nights of lighting from a fully charged battery. Minimum Autonomy Operating Temperature Range Latitude Range 10 nights based on 3.5 hours of activation (high illumination) per night with no additional solar charging -22º F to 122º F 60º S to 60º N Smart Shelter is a Landscape Forms product that meets the company s stringent standards of quality, durability and performance. It is covered by the Landscape Forms three-year warranty. Batteries are replaceable and can be returned to Landscape Forms for replacement and recycling. The Automatic Light Control for Solar-Power Lighting is protected by U.S. Patent No.6,573,659. Landscape Forms 431 Lawndale Avenue, Kalamazoo, MI fax landscapeforms.com
