CRITERION ™ AREA LUMINAIRE

GENERAL DESCRIPTION

The totally enclosed and weather-resistant luminaire desig­nated _______ (identify) shall be a GE CRITERION™ AREA LIGHT­ING luminaire, ordering number _______ (specify CHMX, CVMX,
CHLX or CVLX, plus ordering number logic from catalog) or ap­proved equal, to operate one _______
(specify 250, 400 watt high pressure sodium or _______ (spec-
ify 250, 400, 1000) watt metal halide mogul base lamp from
a nominal _______ (specify 120, 208, 240, 277 or 480) volt,
60 Hertz power source. The luminaire will include an integral
prewired SnapDrive™ ballast assembly and optical assem­bly that shall produce a _______ (specify narrow, wide, for­ward throw, square) distribution. The luminaire shall have UL/
cUL1598 Listed SUITABLE FOR WET LOCATIONS. The luminaire
shall be equipped with an activated charcoal breath-way for
clean ventilation and long term maintained foot-candle levels.
Ballast , housing, optical, and luminaire assembly shall all be
built to GE Lighting Systems specifications.

MECHANICAL CONSTRUCTION

The luminaire shall include a die-cast aluminum housing with
a polyester powder paint finish, glass lens, and continuous
silicone gasket with no gaps to insure sealing. The luminaire
shall have tool-less entry or optional tamper-resistant entry to
prevent unauthorized entry. Door removal is accomplished by
loosening hinge screw(s) for quick and simple removal. All hard­ware shall be corrosion-resistant . The luminaire shall have pro­vision for optional factory installed photoelectric control. The
luminaire shall be installed on decorative arm _______ [specify
4, 8, 12 (horizontal) 8, 12 (vertical)] inches long either _______
(specify square, round) cut. The luminaire design shall be tested
and certified to withstand 2 G300,000 cycle first harmonic 3
axis (100K cycles in each major axis) shake test followed by a 4
G 10,00 cycle shake test without any major failures.

Horizontal

- 400 watts. Each SnapDrive™ Electrical system shall have a
receptacle that is compatible with the GE Diagnostic Tester
that will enable easy electrical testing and trouble shooting.

OPTICAL ASSEMBLY

The optical assembly shall have a precision hydroformed alu­minum reflector that has a chemically bonded lightweight non­breakable ALGLAS® finish on all surfaces for precise light con­trol in combination with heat and impact resistant tempered
lens. Reflector design shall be optimized for compact metal
halide lamps. Reflectors shall be 270-degree field rotatable. The
luminaire shall be supported by a dedicated web site that will
contain down-loadable IES photometric files.

BALLAST OPERATION

Ballast , ignitor, capacitor and printed circuit board wiring shall
be installed onto a modular SnapDrive™ Electrical System
that snaps in and out of the luminaire without tools. Voltage
changes, wattage changes (250 or 400 watt only), the addition
of optional EZAdd™ quartz switching device (400 watt only) and
optional EZAdd™ 400 watt HPS bi-level switching shall be ac­complished with the use of quick-change jumpers that shall be
located on the ballast printed circuit board. SnapDrive™ Electri­cal Systems shall be interchangeable into other luminaires in
the Criterion™ family of the same wattage size. The luminaire
shall contain a standard Auto-regulator (CWA) or Lag ballast for
use with metal halide, or high-pressure sodium lamps. Optional
factory installed fusing shall be available for all discrete volt­ages and wattages. The ballast shall be compliant with NEMA
specifications and lamp manufacturers specifications at the
time of manufacture. The ballast shall reliably start and oper­ate the lamp in ambient temperatures down to -20 degrees F
for metal halide and -40 degrees F for high pressure sodium.
Pulse start metal halide ballasts shall be available from 250
