It offers advanced lighting control features, including in-built PowerSet and OptiSet switches, and is approved by the International Dark-Sky Association, making it ideal for optimising lighting designs while reducing light pollution.

Key Benefits

• Optimised Lighting Performance: Offers a wide range of wattages (5-19W), LED colour temperatures (PC-Amber, 2700K, 3000K, 4000K), and symmetric/asymmetric distributions for optimised and ecology-friendly lighting designs.
• Reduced Maintenance & Longer Life: Features a projected LED lifetime of L85 after 100,000 hours, significantly reducing maintenance costs and time. Its robust construction with IK10 impact rating and IP66 sealing ensures durability in tough environments.
• Advanced Control & Efficiency: Includes in-built PowerSet for high, medium, and low output selection, OptiSet for distribution selection, CLO (Constant Light Output) availability, Part Night Dimming (PND), and DALI compatibility for use with CMS.
• Dark-Sky Compliant: International Dark-Sky Association approved when using a colour temperature of 1750K or below at 0° degree tilt, allowing use in dark-sky applications to protect the night sky.
• Vandal Resistant & Secure: Designed with a vandal-resistant access door and anti-tamper door fixing as standard, ensuring robust security.
• Universal Mounting & Easy Installation: Supports root, socket, or flange mounting, making it suitable for installation in a wide range of environments. EN40 compliant door location, size, and cable entry slots make installation easier and save time and cost.
• Peace of Mind Warranty: Comes with a minimum 10-year warranty, reducing risk to the contractor and client.

Installation & Maintenance

• Installation: Designed for easy installation, with universal mounting options (root, socket or flange). EN40 compliant door location, size and cable entry slots make installation easier. An optional feeder pillar version is available. Disconnect luminaire from the supply when conducting in-situ insulation resistance testing. Do not stare at operating lamp as it may be harmful to the eyes.
• Maintenance: Features a projected LED lifetime of L85 after 100,000 hours, significantly reducing maintenance. The robust construction (IK10, IP66) and durable materials (aluminium, UV stabilised polycarbonate) ensure longevity. Anti-tamper door fixing and accessible internal parts (for mounting DNO cut-outs and isolators) facilitate secure and easy maintenance. Cover fixing screws should be greased at each lamp change with silicone-based grease only. If the external flexible cable is damaged, it must be replaced exclusively by the manufacturer or qualified personnel. Ensure mains supply is fully isolated before servicing. Products should not be modified as it may render them unsafe and invalidate approvals.
