Performance & Light Output

Engineered for exceptional adaptability, this fixture provides scalable illumination with a high efficacy reaching up to 141.9 lm/W at the 30W setting. The integrated optic system utilizes a Type V Wide distribution, providing a uniform 360-degree circular light pattern ideal for large open spaces. With selectable 3000K, 4000K, and 5000K color temperatures and a dependable 83-84 CRI, it ensures precise, high-visibility lighting tailored to the specific architectural environment. The advanced surface-mount LEDs maintain exceptional lumen maintenance, offering a 100,000-hour L70 lifespan.

Electrical & Controls

The luminaire is equipped with a high-performance 120-277V universal driver that provides reliable constant-current power regulation. It features standard 0-10V dimming capability for integration with energy management networks. The electrical design includes robust 10kV surge protection. For advanced lighting management, this fixture is compatible with optional factory-installed sensor-ready arms, which allow for the integration of standard motion sensors, twistlock photocells, or Lightcloud Blue wireless networked controls (sold separately).

Construction & Durability

Housed in a precision architectural enclosure, this post top area light is built to withstand rigorous outdoor environments while maintaining its aesthetic appeal. The internal components are sealed to an IP65 rating, ensuring total protection against dust ingress and low-pressure water jets. Engineered to manage heavy mechanical stress, the luminaire carries a 3G vibration rating, making it suitable for bridges and areas subject to constant movement.

Installation & Mounting

This model features a streamlined quick-connect mounting system designed to drastically reduce installation time. The driver module drops directly onto a standard 2-3/8-inch tenon. Once the module is in place, the fixture slides on, making mechanical and electrical connections simultaneously. It is then secured with heavy-duty set screws that are easy to tighten but highly resistant to stripping.
