Mounting:
Z mount – wall plate mounts to recessed outlet box (by others).
Suitable backing structure required – weight is approximately
25 lb/11 kg. Canopy conceals mounting plate.
Y mount – surface mounted yoke attaches with 1/4-20 fasteners
(by others) concealed under splice cover.
One, two, three or four-way cluster pendant assembly ordered
separately (see Accessories); specify 1, 2, 3 or 4 mount.
Electrical:
Use 90°C wire for supply connections.
Z mount – leads terminate in recessed outlet box (by others).
Y mount – integral splice compartment with one 7/8" diameter
entry for exposed raceway/conduit (by others). Entry can be
reversed in field to opposite side of yoke.
1000W – position oriented mogul lampholder for use with either
POMB horizontal or universal position lamp. Patented clamping
support maximizes heat dissipation, allows horizontal lamp to
be rotated and locked in proper position after aiming.
Pulse start metal halide (horiz. position) – pulse rated mogul
lampholder(s). 2x400W lampholders are hinged for relamping.
End-of-lamp aligner(s) ensures consistent optical performance,
minimizes damage from shock or vibration. Remote encapsulated HPF constant wattage autotransformer (1000W) or
electronic (250W-400W) ballast(s).
For complete ballast specifications, see Accessories Section.
U.S. Patents D468,473; 7,097,328; 7,097,328 B2;
other U.S. and foreign patents pending.
Standard:
UL listed or CSA certified for damp locations. Suitable for use in
natatorium (pool) environments (see Options). Use in upward
facing/uplight orientation only.
Finish:
Bright clear anodized aluminum housing with semigloss black
door frame, end plates, yoke, canopy and visor or all external
surfaces semigloss white (or custom color). Painted surfaces –
6 stage pretreatment and electrostatically applied thermoset
polyester powder coating for stable, long lasting and corrosion
resistant finish. Reflector and internal end plates – extruded
high purity aluminum with clear anodized specular finish.
All luminaire hardware – stainless steel.
6/15
 Powerful for its size – 1000W or up to 2x400W pulse start
 High output metal halide uplighting for larger scale
spaces – atriums, air and rail terminals, sports facilities
 Non-corrosive aluminum and stainless steel construction,
precured silicone gaskets – suitable for natatoriums
 Remote encapsulated CWA ballast for quiet operation
Performance
Two parabolic reflector
sections drive light
across the ceiling from
one side. An elliptical
section redirects its
light to a parabola
and shields the lamp.
Asymmetry is maximized
resulting in high beam
efficiency and superior
surface uniformity. The
fast "runback" minimizes
wasted spill light. Wide
lateral distribution permits
greater spacings.

lamp (compact envelope). Mounted with external yoke with
integral splice compartment. Bright clear anodized reflector with
semigloss black door frame, end plates, cutoff visor, yoke and
canopy. Remote 277V ballast. Cutoff visor and micro-prismatic

7 Option (see Accessories Section for specifications)
V0 = Cutoff visor included, no other options. Micro-prismatic
glass lens included, unless specified otherwise. Offers
smoother light pattern at reduced peak candlepower.
Recommended when lighting flat, light-colored surfaces
to minimize striations and blend color patterns inherent
in metal halide lamps.
VL = Clear flat glass lens (replaces micro-prismatic lens).
Recommended to maximize peak candlepower where
minor striations and color variations are not critical
(example – uplighting textured or “busy” surfaces such as
structural framework, corrugated decking or concrete).
VP = Natatorium (pool) use, remote ballast located outside
the pool environment (not available in 81 bright finish)
VQ = Natatorium (pool) use, remote ballast in painted
aluminum enclosure suitable for use in the pool
environment (not available in 81 bright finish)
VR = Halogen standby lamp with relay field connected at
remote ballast. 250W maximum (lamp included).
VX = For modification not listed, include detailed description.
Consult factory prior to specification.
Note: Cutoff visor included with all options.
