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 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 with
________ (specify MN2, MN3 or LN3 according to photometric
selection table) IES Distribution Type. Standard construction is
IP55.

MECHANICAL CONSTRUCTION

The luminaire shall include a heavy-duty die-cast aluminum
housing with an electrocoat gray paint finish _______ (specify
dark bronze or gray), hinged and removable front access door
