RAB Lighting H17XL Series High Bay Accessory — Dome Wire Guard (240W)

The H17XL-DWG is a heavy-duty dome wire guard designed to deliver uncompromising physical protection for the large RAB Lighting H17XL LED high bay fixtures. Engineered for the high-output 240W models running on 120-277V electrical configurations, this accessory prevents damage from airborne objects while allowing over 37,000 lumens to flow freely into the workspace. Its robust white steel construction is essential for safeguarding critical lighting investments in active industrial zones.

Key Features

• Compatibility: Exclusively fits the large-format RAB Lighting H17XL series LED high bays up to 240W.
• Protection: Shields the fixture's internal LED board and optics from large airborne objects and forklift strikes.
• Light Transmission: Open wire design ensures zero reduction in the fixture's native lumen output.
• Material: Constructed from heavy-duty, impact-resistant steel wire.
• Finish: Coated in a high-durability white powder finish to seamlessly match the host fixture.
• Weight: Optimized design adds necessary protection without overloading suspended mounting cables.
• Passive Component: Requires no electrical modifications to the host luminaire.
• Attachment: Pre-drilled alignment points ensure perfectly centered and secure installation.

Typical Applications

• Warehouse aisles with high-reaching forklift traffic.
• Commercial gymnasiums and indoor sports complexes.
• Manufacturing facilities and heavy industrial assembly plants.
• Aviation hangars and heavy equipment maintenance bays.
• Distribution centers requiring extreme physical fixture defense.

Performance & Light Output

As a precision-engineered structural accessory, this heavy-duty wire guard is specifically designed to allow the large host fixture to perform at its maximum photometric efficacy. The wide spacing between the steel wires ensures that the massive lumen output generated by the LEDs is not trapped or blocked, preventing unwanted shadowing. This guarantees that the workspace below receives the full intended brightness and expansive light distribution.

Electrical & Controls

This unit is a completely passive physical accessory containing no internal electronics, wiring, or drivers. When installed, it fully relies on the electrical architecture of the host RAB Lighting fixture, accommodating its standard 120-277V power systems. The guard does not interfere with the host fixture's surge protection, power factor, or any integrated motion sensor control modules.

Construction & Durability

Built to withstand the severe physical rigors of commercial and industrial environments, the guard provides a robust barrier against external impacts. The thick steel construction is highly resistant to deformation, ensuring long-lasting defense against errant sports equipment, flying debris, and accidental machinery bumps. The white powder-coated finish protects the steel from rust and corrosion in unconditioned spaces.

Installation & Mounting

The wire guard is designed for rapid field installation directly onto the massive heat sink of the H17XL high bay. The process involves aligning the mounting tabs on the guard with the corresponding attachment points on the fixture. Using standard provided hardware, contractors can securely fasten the guard in minutes without opening the electrical compartment or altering the primary mounting hooks.
