Product Features
The Evolve™ LED Salem Post Top offers energy efficiency and quality of light in a classic, utility carriage look and style.
The advanced LED optical system provides improved horizontal and vertical uniformity, reduced glare and improved
lighting control. GE’s unique optical ring technology effectively aims the light where you need it, while eliminating the
unsightly shadow circles commonly seen under other LED post top fixtures.
The Salem post top can yield up to a 60-percent reduction in system energy compared with standard HID systems,
depending on applications. This reliable system operates well in cold temperatures and offers more than 11 years of
service life to reduce maintenance frequency and expense, based on a 50,000 hour life and 12 hours of operation
per day. Containing no mercury or lead, this environmentally responsible product is RoHS compliant.
Applications
• Roadway, site, area, and general lighting utilizing
advanced LED optical system providing high
uniformity, excellent vertical illuminance, reduced
offsite visibility, and reduced on-site glare.
Housing
• Die-cast aluminum housing.
• Traditional utilitarian “carriage” design incorporates
the heat sink directly into the unit ensuring maximum
heat transfer and long LED life.
• Meets 2G vibration standards per ANSI C136.31-2001.
