Housing
• All housings are manufactured using technologically advanced
computer numerical control (CNC) machinery. Precision sheared
and formed from one piece, .080 gauge, corrosion resistant alu-
minum, with tooled external reveal.
• The computerized CNC machinery enables all American
housings to be constructed quickly, efficiently, and adhe-
ing to exacting ISO 9002 standards. All external hardware is
stainless steel.
Lens and Door Assembly
• Hinged door assembly is CNC precision, sheared and formed
from one piece, .080 gauge, corrosion resistant aluminum with
captive stainless steel fasteners.
• The standard lens is a clear tempered flat glass, secured by gal-
vanized lens retainers and sealed with one piece extruded silicone
gasketing to provide complete weather and insect protection.
Optical System
• Reflector is precision CNC cut and bent, multi-faceted, seg-
mented, highly efficient, 95% reflective aluminum. Available in
five distribution patterns.
• Tool-less reflector entry.
• Field rotatable reflector (except Type V).
Quali-Guarde Finish
• The finish is a Quali-Guarder textured, chemically pretreated
through a multiple stage washer, electrostatically applied,
thermoset polyester powder coat finish, with a minimum of
two ml, thickness. Finish is oven baked at a temperature of
400 degrees Fahrenheit to promote maximum adherence and
finish hardness. All finishes are available in standard and
custom colors.
Mounting
• An extruded aluminum, bolt-on-arm (BOA), with continuous
channels, securing (2) 1(2 inch zinc running bolts with
stainless steel hardware is standard. A Round Pole Plate Adaptor
(RPP) is required for mounting to 3" -5" Round Poles.
Electrical Assembly
• All ballasts are premium grade CWA or HPF regulating auto
transformers, available in Metal Halide, Pulse Start, and High
Pressure Sodium. Ballast is capable of providing consistent lamp
starting down to -20 degrees Fahrenheit.
• Quick disconnect wiring is standard.
• Socket is glazed porcelain medium or mogul base with nickel
plated contacts, rated at 4K (5K for 1000 watt) and 600V.
