Hubbell Outdoor and Spaulding brands are aware of the growing concern over glare, light trespass and
sky glow created by improperly applied lighting fixtures. This wasted light is wasted energy. To address
this concern, we have designed many of our new products with Full Cutoff (zero uplight) optics to provide
greater control of light output from area and wall mounted fixtures.
Hubbell Outdoor and Spaulding fixtures that meet Full Cutoff criteria are designated with the IDA fixture
seal of approval logo. These fixture series or specific lens options will solve your need for excellent site
lighting with an environmentally friendly reduced sky glow and are approved by the International Dark
Sky Association.

Area/Site Luminaire Lens Choices
Convex Lens
Flat Lens
Spaulding Lighting offers three lens enclosure configurations
for many of our area/site luminaires. Flat, convex and dropped
configurations offer distinctly different performance benefits and
aesthetics values. Take the time to choose the correct configuration
to ensure you meet all of your design criteria.
Convex Lens
Also referred to as a sag lens, the convex lens is a very popular
choice for customers interested in achieving:
• Maximum spacing between luminaires
• Higher light levels between poles
• Excellent light level uniformity
Luminaires with a convex lens also offer a degree of “sparkle” a flat
lens cannot. Used many times in retail commercial applications,
a convex lens allows the lighting system to become an integral
component of a business’ identity and advertising goals.
Dropped Lens
Flat Lens
With today’s increased concern for lighting in an environmentally
conscious manner, utilizing a flat lens may be your best choice. A
flat lens offers the following:
• Reduced luminaire glare
• Reduced light trespass onto adjacent properties
• Reduced night “sky glow”
All of Spaulding’s luminaires configured with a flat lens are FULL
CUTOFF classified per IES standards. Flat lens luminaires help reduce
the potential negative impact of lighting in a commercial space.
Dropped Acrylic or Polycarbonate Lens
Luminaires featuring a dropped lens offer many of the benefits of
the convex lens with a “softer” visual appearance. Dropped lens
luminaires provide a square symmetric distribution of light and
superior light level uniformity. Additionally, the rugged polycarbonate
version is a great choice for areas needing a higher degree of
luminaire protection.
Spaulding Lighting has worked hard to strike a balance between
the concerns of lighting in an environmentally conscious manner
without sacrificing sound lighting design principles.
