Eaton’s Area Luminaire Offers an Efficient, Low-Maintenance Solution With
Savings Greater Than 85 Percent in Security Applications
PEACHTREE CITY, Ga. … Power management company Eaton today announced the
introduction of the Lumark Caretaker™ light-emitting diode (LED) Area Luminaire from
its Cooper Lighting Division. Utilizing high-efficiency LED technology with precision-molded
optics, the Caretaker luminaire provides exceptional performance, offering greater than 85
percent in annual energy and maintenance savings compared to traditional high intensity
discharge (HID) products. With its rugged construction and versatile mounting options, the
Caretaker luminaire is ideal for area and dusk-to-dawn security lighting applications.
“The Lumark Caretaker luminaire not only delivers exceptional light output, but serves as a
versatile, low-cost, low maintenance solution our customers demand for a wide range of
security lighting applications,” said Mark Eubanks, president of Eaton’s Cooper Lighting
Division. “Its LED optics deliver a wide, uniform distribution with excellent vertical illumination
for maximum light coverage and years of worry-free illumination.”
Designed to replace up to 175-watt high intensity discharge (HID) fixtures, the Lumark
Caretaker consumes only 50 watts while delivering more than 5,200 powerful lumens. Not
only does this offer ample lighting, it also allows more than 85 percent in annual energy and
maintenance savings. With lumen maintenance greater than 84 percent at 36,000 hours, the
Caretaker luminaire is virtually maintenance-free for over 15 years.
The Caretaker luminaire also includes a versatile universal mounting design that allows for
