Performance & Light Output

At 15W: 1,740 lm (3500K / 130.3 lm/W), 1,815 lm (4000K Factory Default / 138.5 lm/W), and 1,776 lm (5000K / 133.8 lm/W).

Delivers CRI >80 (R9: 4/6/-2) across all configurations with a 100° beam angle. Rated life 50,000 hours (L70) based on independent IESNA LM-79 and LM-80 laboratory testing.

Lens & Optics

Engineered with a non-yellowing glass prismatic lens delivering a wide 100° beam angle for uniform doorway, walkway, and emergency egress illumination. At a 7.5-foot mounting height (0° tilt), normal AC operation (1,740 lm at 3500K) illuminates a 32-foot path of egress for a single luminaire (39 feet multiple luminaires on a 3 ft path) and emergency battery mode (500 lumens) illuminates a 36-foot path of egress for a single luminaire (39 feet multiple luminaires on a 3 ft path; 22 feet single / 26 feet multiple on a 6 ft path) to meet NFPA 101 life-safety illumination requirements of 1 FC average, 0.1 FC minimum, and 40:1 max-to-min uniformity.

Smart & Control Features

Engineered for automated exterior operation and commercial lighting control integration:

• Dusk-to-Dawn Photocell (Integrated): Factory-installed integrated photocell is selectable via an internal dip switch for automatic dusk-to-dawn operation or manual wall-switch and timeclock control.
• 0-10V Continuous Dimming: Dims smoothly down to 10% on compatible 0-10V dimming systems (requires separate 0-10V DC dimming circuit).
• Integrated Emergency Test Switch: Bottom-mounted integrated EM test switch and indicator light allow code-compliant monthly and annual UL 924 battery inspection from the ground.

Electrical

Powered by a Constant Current, Class 2 driver operating on 120-277V AC at 50/60Hz (18.5W input wattage) with a Power Factor of 0.9 and Flicker <70%. Includes pre-wired 0-10V dimming leads (dimmable down to 10%) and a dip-switch-selectable photocell.

Emergency Battery Backup: Factory-installed internal Ni-Cad battery backup (5W emergency wattage) with an integrated bottom test switch provides 90 minutes of emergency egress illumination delivering 500 lumens upon loss of normal AC power, with a 24-hour battery recharge time.
