Smart & Control Features

The SHARK8 linear washdown vapor tight supports standard wired dimming and optional factory-configured or field-programmable sensing and wireless automation:

• 0–10V Continuous Dimming (Standard): Dims smoothly down to 10% on standard 0–10V DC low-voltage control circuits. Compatible with commercial dimmers and centralized building automation systems (BAS).
• Lightcloud & Lightcloud Blue Wireless Control (Optional Configurations): Available in Lightcloud Enterprise (/LC) and Lightcloud Blue (/LCB) Bluetooth mesh configurations for wireless dimming, ON/OFF control, color tuning, schedules, and SmartShift via mobile app.

Compatible sensor options in the SHARK family include Passive Infrared (/PIR, max 40 ft mounting height, 40 ft detection diameter) and Microwave (/MVS, max 50 ft mounting height, 50 ft detection diameter), as well as PIR20[B][/LCB] and MVS20[B][/LCB] sensors (20 ft detection diameter mounted at 9 ft, sold separately). Field adjustments for non-Lightcloud sensors require the handheld multi-sensor remote control (catalog # MSR1, sold separately).

Electrical

Powered by a Class 2 constant current driver operating on 120–277V AC at 50/60Hz. Delivers high electrical efficiency with a Power Factor of 99.9% at 120V (96.1% at 277V) and Total Harmonic Distortion (THD) of 3.26% at 120V (11.62% at 277V). Integrated 2kV surge protection protects internal electronics against transient voltage spikes. Includes pre-wired 0–10V dimming leads.

Emergency Battery Backup: Available in `/E` battery backup configurations (120–277V models, sold separately) to provide a minimum of 90 minutes of standby illumination during a primary power failure (32°F (0°C) to 102°F (40°C) battery operating range; Battery Backup Light Loss Factor: 0.104).
