What wattage and lumen output ranges are available on this LED dusk-to-dawn light?
This fixture provides selectable wattage and delivers 5,200–9,250 lumens across its settings. Use the lower settings where spacing is tight or glare control is a priority, and the higher settings where pole spacing and mounting height demand higher delivered illuminance.
What IESNA-style footcandle targets are typical for dusk-to-dawn exterior lighting?
Exterior targets are usually set by the task and the authority having jurisdiction. Typical maintained illuminance benchmarks used in planning include:
- Building perimeter / general security: 0.5–2 fc average
- Walkways and pedestrian paths: 1–5 fc average
- Service doors / loading approach zones: 2–10 fc average (task dependent)
- Parking areas (general): 0.2–1 fc average (with uniformity targets set by the site plan)
Verify requirements using the project photometric plan: mounting height, distribution, and spacing control delivered footcandles more than raw lumen output.
How does this fixture affect LPD (Lighting Power Density) planning for exterior projects?
LPD is connected lighting power divided by the lit area (W/ft²). For exterior compliance, document the selected wattage per luminaire and compute connected load by zone:
- Installed exterior LPD = (Total exterior lighting watts) ÷ (Applicable exterior area in ft²)
- Selectable wattage helps tune connected load to the minimum needed for target footcandles and uniformity.
If controls credits are used, document the control strategy separately; controls reduce energy use in operation but do not change connected watts.
What does the built-in photocell change in real-world operation?
The integrated photocell automatically switches the fixture on at low ambient light and off at higher ambient light. This supports consistent dusk-to-dawn operation without requiring a separate control node, and it can reduce unintended daytime runtime when properly aimed and not shaded by overhangs or trees.
What color temperature options are available?
The fixture offers selectable 3000K, 4000K, or 5000K. Use 3000K where warmer appearance and reduced perceived glare are priorities, 4000K for neutral white site lighting, and 5000K for higher perceived contrast and visual acuity in task-oriented exterior areas.
Is this dusk-to-dawn light dimmable?
Yes, the specification lists the fixture as dimmable. Confirm the dimming method and compatibility with the site control approach (photocell-only operation versus photocell plus additional controls) before field commissioning.
What voltage does it accept?
This model is rated for 120–277V input, supporting common commercial branch voltages.
What does IP65 and wet-location rating mean for installation?
IP65 indicates protection against dust ingress and water jets, and the wet-location listing supports exposed outdoor mounting. Confirm gasket and conduit entry practices during installation to maintain sealing integrity at the housing penetrations.
What certifications are listed?
The fixture is UL Listed, RoHS Compliant, and DLC Premium Listed. DLC Premium can support utility rebate documentation where applicable.
What minimum operating temperature is specified?
The minimum operating temperature is listed as -40°F, supporting cold-weather exterior deployments where startup reliability is required.
What are the physical dimensions and finish?
The housing is specified at 13.62" L × 9.13" W × 7.36" H with a gray finish. Use these dimensions to confirm clearance at eaves, wall arms, and mounting plates.
What rated life and warranty are provided?
The rated life is 50,000 hours and the warranty term is 5 years. For maintenance planning, convert rated life into expected service intervals using actual nightly runtime and site operating conditions.
