GENERAL
This luminaire is designed for outdoor lighting service,
and should not be used in areas of limited ventilation, or
in high ambient temperature enclosures. Best results will
be obtained if installed and maintained according to the
following recommendations.
This luminaire is designed for vertical-surface mounting to illuminate underpasses or the ground around
buildings, or it can be mounted horizontally facing upward
to light signs or walls. It is for use only in non-hazardous
locations, where submersion by water is impossible, and
should not be mounted within easy reach of the general
public. A special vandal shield is available for verticalmounted units up to 250 watts.
UNPACKING
This luminaire has been properly packed so that no part
should have been damaged during transit. Inspect to
confirm.
To install, follow the steps below:
1. Remove the refractor/door assembly from carton.
2. Remove the reflector by loosening the center screw
and lifting up on reflector, thus exposing the polarized socket connector.
3. Disconnect the polarized socket connector.
4. Place refractor/door assembly and reflector back in
the carton to prevent damage.
The unit is now ready for mounting and wiring.
FLAT SURFACE MOUNTING
Four knock outs – 3 mounting holes and 1 wiring
entrance hole in triangular array – are provided through
the rear wall. (See Fig. 1.) (See Fig. 2 for additional
dimensions.)
Note: Back of luminaire must be caulked with a
generic non-hardening sealer across the top and
down both sides.
INSTALLATION
CAUTION
Unit will fall if not installed properly
• Follow installation instructions

These instructions do not purport to cover all details or variations in equipment nor to provide for every possible contingency to be met in connection with installation, operation
or maintenance. Should further information be desired or should particular problems arise which are not covered sufficiently for the purchaser’s purposes, the matter should be
referred to GE Lighting Solutions.
PIPE MOUNTING (OPTIONAL)
Unit mounts horizontally on 1 1/4” or 2" IPS pipe by
means of pipe clamp screws. (see Fig. 2). To install,
loosen the pipe clamp screws and slip unit on pipe until it
hits the “stop” inside.
Tighten hardware hand-tight and level unit. When the
unit is level, secure all hardware.
Drain holes are provided to prevent collection of
moisture from condensation.
For proper charcoal filter function, seal around
incoming leads or cable with a suitable fitting or nonhardening sealer.

WIRING
The service leads should have suitable temperature
rating (See nameplate) and should extend into the
luminaire approximately eight inches. Route service
leads through lead clips to insure against heat damage,
and position all luminaire leads so as to prevent contact
with reflector.
Make all electrical connections in accordance with
the National Electrical Code and any applicable
local code requirements.
Verify that supply voltage is correct by comparing
it to nameplate.
If unit is designated as multivolt or multiwatt,
follow specific instruction.
Do not remove insulated connectors from wires
not needed for required voltage connection.
IF MULTIWATT:
Multiwatt ballasts are available in various combinations of wattage. See wiring instructions on wiring
tag inside the luminaire.
FINAL ASSEMBLY
To assemble luminaire, follow the steps below:
1. Engage the polarized socket connector
2. Re-install reflector.
3. Install lamp.
4. Align door with hinges and close. Tighten the one
captive screw.
LAMP INSTALLATION
CAUTION
Risk of burn
• Allow lamp/fixture to cool before
handling
WARNING
Risk of burn
• Do not touch operating luminaire
Use only lamps specified on nameplate. Observe
lamp manufacturer’s recommendations and
restrictions on lamp operation, particularly ballast
type, burning position, etc.
Lamp Tightness – Mogul Base Lamp: The lamp
should be securely inserted to the NEMA-EEI specified
torque of 35 inch-pounds, which is best achieved by very
firm tightening sufficient to fully depress and load the
center contact of the socket.
Lamp Tightness – Medium Base Lamp: The lamp
should be tightened to a light firmness sufficient to
depress the center contact.
Terminals are readily accessible on the terminal board
and will accept No. 14 through No. 6 wire. Attach the
service leads to the terminal board as shown on the wiring
diagram.
IF SINGLE VOLTAGE:
All single voltage ballasts are pre-wired such that user
need only connect the supply conductors.
IF MULTIVOLT: (120/208/240/277 volts)
Connect the ballast lead with the insulated terminal to
the desired voltage terminal as indicated on the ballast
terminal nameplate.

MAINTENANCE
It will occasionally be necessary to clean the outside of
the refractor to maintain light levels. Frequency of
cleaning will depend on the ambient dirt levels and the
minimum light level acceptable to the user. The refractor
should be washed in a solution of warm water and any
mild, nonabrasive household detergent, rinsed with clean
water and wiped dry. Should the optical assembly
become dirty on the inside, wipe the reflector and clean
the refractor in the above manner.
