GUIDE FORM SPECIFICATIONS
HLU/VLU POWERFLOOD ® FLOODLIGHT
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The NEMA heavy-duty weather-resistant floodlight designated
_______ (identify) shall be a GE HLU or VLU POWERFLOOD®
FLOODLIGHT, ordering number _______ (specify HLUF or VLUF,
plus ordering number logic from catalog) or approved equal,
for operation of one horizontally-oriented (HLUF) or verticallyoriented (VLUF) _______ (specify [(200, 250 or 400) watt high
pressure sodium (HPS)] or 400 watt metal halide or mercury]
lamp from a nominal _______ (specify 120, 208, 220, 240,
277, 347 or 408 volt, 60 Hz or 200 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 [4X2 or 6X5]
for HLUF or [7X6 or 7X7] for VLUF) according to photometric
selection table in the catalog) NEMA type beam spread
(horizontal X vertical). The floodlight shall have a NEMA lamp
identification decal. The floodlight shall be
UL/cUL1598 Listed SUITABLE FOR WET LOCATIONS. Standard
construction is IP55.
MECHANICAL CONSTRUCTION
The floodlight shall include a heavy-duty corrosion-resistant
fiberglass reinforced polyester (FRP) dark-bronze housing with
hinged and removable front door glass frame; removable ballast tray; anodized, gasketed and charcoal-filtered optical
assembly, _______ (specify heavy--gauge steel trunnion with
wiring through grommeted cable entry [standard] or die-cast
aluminum knuckle slipfitter with integral wiring box); built-in
aiming sight; tempered heat-resistant door glass (and optional
prewired photoelectric control receptacle). The floodlight shall
be sealed and have an activated-charcoal filter to help eliminate particulate matter and gaseous contaminants. All hardware shall be corrosion-resistant .
BALLAST OPERATION
OPTICAL ASSEMBLY
HLU/VLU
The optical assembly shall include a hydroformed aluminum re-
flector and heat/impact-resistant flat door glass with gasketing
around the perimeter of the housing. The reflector shall have a
chemically-bonded lightweight non-breakable glass ALGLAS
finish on all surfaces providing enhanced specular reflectance,
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.
HLU
Horizontally mounted lamp shall provide precise vertical beam
control.
VLU
Vertically mounted lamp shall provide a uniform wide beam
spread.
®
All electrical components except the photoelectric receptacle
shall be mounted on a removable galvanized steel ballast tray
for convenience of installation and maintenance. The ballast
shall be prewired to the lamp socket and terminal board and
the ignitor for high pressure sodium fixtures. The floodlight
shall contain a _______ (specify standard Autoreg or Mag-Reg
[for HPS lamps only]) type ballast* in full compliance with lampballast 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 a
250 or 400 watt 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.
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.
The floodlight and ballast shall be from the same manufacturer.
