GLAREFIGHTER TMASYMMETRIC FLOODLIGHT

GENERAL DESCRIPTION

The NEMA heavy-duty weather-resistant floodlight designated
_______ (identify) shall be a GE Glarefighter Asymmetric flood­light, ordering number _______ (specify GFPS, plus ordering
number logic from catalog), or approved equal, for operation
of one _______ (specify [150(55V), 200, 250, or 400] watt high
pressure sodium [HPS], [175, 250 or 400] watt metal halide)
lamp from a nominal _______ (specify 120, 208, 220, 240, 277,
347 or 480 volt, 60 Hz or 220, 230 or 240 volt, 50 Hz) power
source and shall be capable of starting and operating the
specified lamp within the limits specified by the lamp manufac­turer. The floodlight shall contain a completely prewired inte­gral ballast and optical assembly with _______ (specify 6X6 or
7X6 according to photometric selection table) NEMA type beam
spread (horizontal X vertical). The floodlight shall have a NEMA
lamp identification decal. The floodlight shall be UL/cUL Listed
SUITABLE FOR WET LOCATIONS. Standard construction is IP55.
Ballast , housing, optical and luminaire assembly shall all be
from the same manufacturer.

MECHANICAL CONSTRUCTION

The floodlight shall include die-cast aluminum housing with
hinged and removable front-access door having captive screw
(or optional wire bail latches), ballast, filtered optical assem­bly, _______ (specify steel trunnion [standard], optional top
trunnion, die-cast aluminum knuckle slipfitter or knuckle wall
mount with integral wiring box and vertical aiming degree
markings) (and optional photoelectric control receptacle). All
hardware shall be corrosion-resistant. All die-cast aluminum
surfaces shall have a _______ (specify dark bronze [standard],
gray or charcoal gray) electrocoat paint finish. The floodlight
shall have a built-in aiming sight .

BALLAST OPERATION

The ballast shall be prewired to the lamp socket and terminal
board and there shall be a plug-in type starter aid for high
pressure sodium fixtures.

The floodlight shall contain a standard_______ (specify) type
ballast* in full compliance with lamp-ballast specifications
available to the fixture manufacturer from the lamp manufac­turers at the time of fixture manufacture.

As an option the ballast may have the capability of operating
high pressure sodium or metal halide lamp at any of four volt­ages — 120, 208, 240 or 277 volts. When specified, the multi­watt ballast (250/400) shall be connected for 250 watts unless
otherwise specified. Check the Ballast and Photometric Selec­tion Table before selecting a special rating.

The ballast shall reliably start and operate the lamp in ambi­ent temperatures down to -20°F for mercury or metal halide or

-40°F for HPS.

OPTICAL ASSEMBLY

The floodlight shall be designed for low aiming angles and
reduced glare optics. The optical assembly shall be sealed with
a gasket around the perimeter of the front access door, contain
an activated charcoal filter and include a formed aluminum
reflector and heat/impact-resistant flat door glass. The reflec­tor shall have a chemically-bonded lightweight nonbreakable
glass ALGLAS® finish on both the inside and outside surfaces
providing corrosion resistance, durability and ease of cleaning.
The optical assembly shall contain an E39 mogul base socket
with superior lamp gripping. The socket shall have added in­sulation, giving it the ability to handle the higher pulse ratings
of newer HID systems. Lamp shall be mounted horizontally for
maximum vertical beam uniformity and minimum glare.
