SBF ®/SBN POWERFLOOD ® FLOODLIGHT
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The floodlight designated _______ (identify) shall be a GE
_______ (specify SBF® or SBN [depending on wide (SBF) or
narrow (SBN) beam optical performance]) POWERFLOOD®
floodlight, ordering number _______ (specify SBF, SBN, plus
ordering number logic from catalog) or approved equal, for
operation of one _______ (specify [35, 50, 70, 100 or 150(55V)]
watt high pressure sodium [HPS] or [70, 100 or 175] watt metal
halide) medium-base lamp from a nominal _______ (specify
120, 208, 240, 277, 347 or 480) volt , 60 Hertz 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 6X6 (SBF) or 3X4 (SBN) NEMA
type beam spread (horizontal X vertical). 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.
OPTICAL ASSEMBLY
MECHANICAL CONSTRUCTION
The floodlight shall include a die-cast aluminum housing, integral ballast , optical assembly with socket and bottom-hinged
front access door. It shall have a 1/2-inch ID threaded swivel
mounting, degree marked and fully adjustable. All hardware
shall be corrosion-resistant. All die-cast aluminum surfaces
shall have a dark bronze electrocoat paint finish.
The optical assembly shall include a vertically mounted
(standard) medium base socket with designated lamp, on a
formed aluminum reflector with either a wide beam or narrow
beam light distribution and heat/impact-resistant tempered
flat door glass. The optical reflector assembly may be rotated
90o (field adjustable) to attain a horizontally mounted lamp and
socket. The reflector shall have an Alzak✝ finish on all surfaces.
An optional field installable photoelectric control is available.
BALLAST OPERATION
All electrical components shall be mounted on the housing. The
floodlight shall contain a standard _______ (specify Auto-Reg
[for 175-watt metal halide] or Reactor type with NPF or HPF
power factor circuit [for all others]) 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 a multivolt ballast with the capability of operating
the lamp on a power supply of any of four voltages — 120, 208,
240 or 277; or a dual (120X347) voltage ballast may be specified.
The ballast shall reliably start and operate the lamp in ambient
temperatures down to -20
o
F for metal halide or -40oF for HPS.
