Eaton’s LED Luminaire Brings High Performance, Energy Savings and
Affordability to Roadways
PEACHTREE CITY, Ga. … Power management company Eaton announced the introduction
of the Streetworks Verdeon™ light-emitting diode (LED) Roadway Luminaire, adding another
energy-efficient product to its street lighting line. Providing all the critical requirements
needed for any roadway application including high performance, long life, low maintenance
and low cost, the Verdeon luminaire provides energy savings up to 50 percent when
compared to standard high-intensity discharge (HID) solutions.
“Combining a low initial cost with energy savings, the Verdeon luminaire is engineered for
performance and reliability,” said Mark Eubanks, president, Eaton’s Lighting Division. “It’s
ideal for both retrofit and new construction projects as it can be tailored to meet specific
needs without compromising on important features.”
The Streetworks Verdeon LED luminaire combines superior optical performance with a
variety of control options, while featuring a unique design that is easy-to-install and maintain.
Incorporating AccuLED Optics™ technology, the street light provides warm, white light with
superior color rendering, while ensuring maximum pole spacing and uniformity when
replacing 50- to 150-watt high pressure sodium fixtures found on most local roadways and
major highway applications.
Available in a wide range of lumen packages and delivering up to 109 lumens per watt, the
luminaire is offered in a standard 4000 Kelvin (K) correlated color temperature (CCT) and 70

color rendering index (CRI) with 3000K and 6000K CCT options available. An optional
National Electrical Manufacturers Association 7-pin photocontrol receptacle enables wireless
dimming when used with a compatible photocontrol. The product is also available with a
dimming motion control option.
The Verdeon luminaire features a rugged, die-cast aluminum housing that is 3G vibration
rated for exceptional durability and long term reliability. With minimal 10-year lumen
depreciation, the LED luminaire operates twice as long than traditional HID fixtures. The
luminaire is deliberately designed with an electrical compartment that is isolated from the
LED modules in order to optimize thermal dissipation of both the LED modules and electrical
components, ensuring long operating life of all the fixture components. The LEDs are
enclosed in IP66 rated optics and the fixture is UL wet location listed with an IP66 housing
option available.
Built with the installer in mind, the Verdeon luminaire features tool-less access to the
spacious housing that easily fits lineman’s gloves. A hinged door design and quick electrical
disconnects makes for easy installation and maintenance.
