Application Examples
- Building perimeter lighting for offices, warehouses, schools, and industrial facilities.
- Entryways and egress paths around doors, stairwells, and side entrances where reliable illumination is critical for safety.
- Walkways and pedestrian areas on commercial campuses, shopping centers, and multi-tenant properties.
- Loading docks and service areas where wide, even illumination helps improve visibility and security.
- Security and site lighting for parking areas, alleys, and rear building walls with dusk-to-dawn photocell control.
Installation Tips
- Disconnect power before installation and verify that all work complies with the National Electrical Code and local codes. Only qualified personnel should install or service the fixture.
- Mount to a suitable junction box or back box using hardware appropriate for the wall surface. Follow the manufacturer’s instructions for junction box or surface plate mounting options.
- Use proper weatherproof sealing – ensure all gaskets are seated correctly and apply exterior-grade silicone sealant around the edge of the wall box and any unused conduit entries, especially on uneven surfaces.
- Connect line, neutral, and ground leads according to the wiring diagram: connect the black lead to line (hot), white to neutral, and green (or bare) to ground.
- Wire the 0–10V dimming leads (purple and gray/pink) only when using a compatible dimming control system; cap these leads individually if dimming is not used.
- Photocell operation – the integral button photocell is designed for use on 120V; ensure the fixture is wired to a compatible 120V circuit when using the photocell function.
- Check gasket compression when closing the housing and lens door, and tighten all screws firmly to maintain the IP66 weatherproof rating.
- Do not touch the LED chips or open the LED array; there are no user-serviceable parts in the LED engine.
