M-400 LUMINAIRE WITH CUTOFF OPTICS

GENERAL DESCRIPTION

The complete luminaire designated _______ (identify) shall be
a GE M-400 WITH CUTOFF OPTICS roadway luminaire, order­ing number _______ (specify MSCL, plus ordering number
logic from catalog) or approved equal, to operate one _______
(specify 150 (55V) 200, 250 or 400 watt high pressure sodium
[HPS]) or 50, 100, 150, 175, 250 or 400 watt metal halide or 400
watt mercury lamp from a nominal _______ (specify 120, 208,
220, 230, 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 luminaire shall contain a completely
prewired integral ballast and an optical assembly that shall
provide an IES Distribution Type _______ (specify according to
photometric selection table). Labeling shall be in accordance
with ANSI standards. Standard construction is IP55.

MECHANICAL CONSTRUCTION

The luminaire shall include a precision die-cast aluminum up­per and lower housing with an electrocoat gray paint finish.
Lower housing shall be hinged and separable and shall hold
refractor in place. The internal slipfitter shall contain two bolts
which do not pass through the housing but tighten from below
with lower housing in dropped position. The one-piece pipe
clamp shall be capable of adapting to 1¼- through 2-inch (42
through 60 mm) pipe without rearrangement of clamp or bolts,
and shall be adjustable ±4° from horizontal. There shall be an
optional prewired no-tool photoelectric control receptacle.

There shall be a metal bird guard, shipped installed (not needed
for 2-in. pipe mounting) and an external quick-release paddle
type stainless steel bail latch requiring no tools and operable
with lineman’s gloves.

BALLAST OPERATION

The luminaire 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.

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

-40°F for HPS.
The luminaire and ballast shall be from the same manufacturer.
The ballast shall be prewired to the lamp socket and dead-back

terminal board, requiring connection of power supply leads to
the terminal board only. A plug-in ignitor shall be available and
shall be removable without the use of tools.

The ballast components including ballast , dead-back terminal
board and ignitor (for HPS luminaires) shall be mounted on an
easily removable power tray. The tray shall be held in place by
two keyhole slot screws.

OPTICAL ASSEMBLY

The cutoff optical assembly shall provide cutoff characteris­tics and contain a precision-formed aluminum standardized
reflector with a chemically-bonded lightweight non-breakable
ALGLAS® finish on both the inside and outside surfaces provid­ing corrosion resistance, durability and ease of cleaning; and a
_______ specify heat/impact-resistant gasketed flat glass lens
or polycarbonate clear globe.

The cutoff assembly shall have a _______ specify non-wicking
felt gasket which acts as filter by excluding particulate con­tamination when the luminaire is closed, or _______ specify
an optional elastomer gasket, around the edge of the reflector,
between the reflector and the lens and an activated charcoal
filter to permit passage of air and therefore allow for breath­ing of the luminaire during normal off-on heating and cooling
cycles, filtering out gaseous contaminants such as hydrocar­bons.

The optical assembly shall contain an adjustable 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.
