At 80W: 10,800 lm at 5000K, 11,120 lm at 4000K, 10,640 lm at 3500K. At 60W: 8,340 lm at 5000K, 8,580 lm at 4000K, 8,770 lm at 3500K. Peak efficacy is 137 lm/W at 100W / 4000K. All settings deliver 80 CRI. Rated life: 100,000 hours (L70).
Smart & Control Features
The SEAL8/E includes built-in 0–10V dimming compatible with standard building automation and lighting control systems. The /E suffix integrates a 90-minute emergency battery backup unit — the fixture automatically switches to battery power during an outage and maintains egress-level illumination for a minimum of 90 minutes in compliance with NFPA 101 and IBC requirements. For combined sensor + emergency backup configurations, refer to the /PIR/E, /MVS/E, /LCBS/E, or /LCBS/MVS/E suffix models.
