GUIDE FORM SPECIFICATIONS
POWR•SPOT ® III FLOODLIGHT WITH GLARE REDUCTION

GENERAL DESCRIPTION

The NEMA _____ (specify heavy-duty or general-purpose)
weather-resistant floodlight designated _____ (identify) GE
POWR•SPOT® III floodlight , ordering number _____ (specify
PSGC, PSGN or PSGV, plus ordering number logic from catalog)
or approved equal, for operation of one _____ (specify [400 or
750] watt high pressure sodium [HPS] or [400, 1000, 1500] watt
metal halide) lamp from a nominal _____ (specify 120, 208, 220,
240, 277, 347 or 480 volt , 60 Hz or 220 or 240 volt , 50 Hz) pow­er source and shall be capable of starting and operating the
specified lamp within the limits indicated by the lamp manufac­turer. The floodlight shall contain a completely prewired inte­gral ballast and optical assembly with _____ (specify according
to photometric selection table) NEMA type beam spread (hori­zontal X vertical). The floodlight shall be UL/cUL Listed SUIT­ABLE FOR WET LOCATIONS. The floodlight shall have a decal
indicating reflector identification viewable from the ground.
Standard construction is IP55. Ballast, housing, optical and
luminaire assembly shall all be from the same manufacturer.

MECHANICAL CONSTRUCTION

For ease of installation and to facilitate maintenance and re­placement, the floodlight shall be supplied as two components
— ballast and optical with glare control device mounted to the
optical door.

The ballast assembly shall include a die-cast aluminum hous­ing with electrocoat gray paint finish applied inside and out .
The ballast assembly shall have a formed aluminum front
panel that accesses a generous wiring compartment contain­ing wiring with pre-stripped leads; a built-in weather-resistant
strain-relief bushing; and a heavy-gauge steel trunnion pro­tected by a weather-resistant coating. The access panel shall
function as a condensate drain for luminaires aimed down­ward. The ballast assembly shall contain a vertical degree
marker and a repositioning stop. All hardware shall be of a
corrosion-resistant material or be protected by a corrosion­resistant finish.

The ballast assembly shall be configured so that the socket is
thermally isolated from the ballast compartment .

The ballast assembly shall contain a thermally isolated 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.

BALLAST OPERATION

The floodlight shall contain a standard Autoreg [CWA] (indicate
that 1500 watt metal halide must operate design center lamp
at rated watts on nominal power supply after thermal stabiliza­tion) ballast* circuit in full compliance with lamp-ballast speci­fications available to the fixture manufacturer from the lamp
manufacturers at the time of fixture manufacture.

The ballast assembly shall contain a ballast which will reliably
start and operate the lamp in ambient temperatures down to

o

-20

F for metal halide or -30oF for HPS.

OPTICAL ASSEMBLY

The general purpose sealed optical assembly shall include a
hinged door with stainless spring steel door latches, tempered
door glass, silicone rubber door gasket , and airway with char­coal impregnated dacron filter.

There shall be a one-piece spun aluminum 20-inch (508 mm)
reflector protected inside and out by an ALGLAS
external hardware shall be of a corrosion-resistant material or
protected by a corrosion-resistant finish.

The heavy duty optical shall include a heavy gauge aluminum
outer housing protected inside and out with an electrocoat
gray paint finish.

BALLAST OPERATION

GLARE REDUCTION ASSEMBLY

The full glare reduction assembly (PSGC) shall include an ex­ternal visor with mill finish and floating louvers having a matte
black absorbing side and a specular reflecting side. The com­plete assembly shall be mounted to a detachable reflector door
enclosure. The NEMA 3 and 4 glare reduction assembly creates
a 20° cutoff angle. The NEMA 5 and 6 glare reduction control
assembly creates a 40° cutoff angle.

The PSGN shall have internal glare reduction louvers mounted
on the door. The PSGV shall include an external glare reduction
visor mounted on the door.

VISOR ASSEMBLY

The glare reducing visor shall have a mill finish and be mount­ed to a detachable reflector door enclosure.
