The B750SRLED Avenue Intellistreets® smart post top luminaire combines timeless acorn-style design with advanced technology, offering municipalities, campuses, and public spaces a multifunctional lighting and communication solution. Its construction features a cast aluminum finial and a solid cast aluminum roof, engineered with optimized heat sinks that maximize the life and performance of the LED light sources. The acorn lens is securely sealed to the cast roof, creating a moisture-free and bug-free optic chamber that ensures consistent optical clarity and long-term reliability. With an EPA rating of 1.6 ft², the fixture maintains stability while delivering smart lighting capabilities that extend well beyond illumination.
A hallmark of this luminaire is its seamless integration with IntelliStreets® technology. More than just a light, the B750SRLED becomes a hub for smart city functionality, offering the ability to see, hear, and record activity through embedded cameras, audio sensors, and communication components. The electronic control module (ECM), housed within the fitter, serves as the system’s brain, incorporating three communication radios and providing inputs for smart city features. This allows for two-way communication, system monitoring, and integration with public safety protocols. Complementing these features, the fitter also includes a 90 dB concealed downward-facing speaker hidden behind perforated panels, using patented technology to synchronize audio across multiple fixtures. Whether broadcasting ambient music, pre-recorded announcements, emergency alerts, or mass notifications, the integrated speaker transforms the fixture into a tool for both engagement and safety.
RGBA flasher technology extends the luminaire’s functionality further by providing 360-degree visual notifications. These lights can act as distress beacons, route indicators through sequential strobing, or festive accent lighting during holidays and special events. An onboard ambient light sensor supports intelligent scheduling, automatically overriding preset lighting schedules during adverse weather or low-light storm conditions. Together, these features ensure the luminaire responds dynamically to environmental and situational changes.
The fitter itself is crafted from heavy-wall die-cast 360 alloy aluminum for high tensile strength and durability, incorporating a hinged, tool-less entry door for open access to internal components. To further protect the optics and electronics, the fitter includes a one-piece ring gasket that resists insect intrusion into the globe assembly. For enhanced visual character, optional decorative rings are available, including a cast aluminum band with vertical slots and medallions in gold or custom finishes, as well as perforated brass banding options.
Optical performance is driven by clear textured acorn lenses manufactured from either impact-resistant DR acrylic or UV-stabilized polycarbonate. The injection-molded process adds a textured surface that reduces glare while maintaining high levels of clarity. Internally, each LED is paired with individual refractor optics that provide precise light distribution in IESNA Type 2, 3, 4, or 5 patterns. The LEDs are fully shielded in a downward orientation to maximize efficiency and minimize uplight, while also being RoHS compliant, lead-free, mercury-free, and 100% recyclable. Backed by LM-80 and TM-21 tested lumen maintenance data, the system offers a projected life of up to 100,000 hours with at least 70% lumen output retained at 25°C. Multiple color temperature options are available, ranging from 2700K to 5000K, with a standard 4000K configuration and a minimum CRI of 70.
The electronic driver is UL recognized and securely mounted within the fixture to ensure reliable operation. It operates at 50/60Hz, is dimmable via a 0–10V protocol, and incorporates supplemental surge protection compliant with IEEE/ANSI C62.41.2 guidelines. Built with overload, overheat, and short circuit protection, the driver ensures long-term safety and performance. Designed with a quick-disconnect electrical connector, it simplifies installation and maintenance, while maintaining a high power factor greater than 0.9 and a total harmonic distortion below 20%.
In terms of finish, the luminaire is coated with Sternberg Lighting’s six-stage polyester powder coat paint system. This premium finishing process exceeds AAMA 2604, AAMA 2605, ASTM D523, and ASTM D4214 standards, providing resilience against environmental exposure and ensuring consistent aesthetic quality. Standard finishes include Black, White, Park Green, Architectural Medium Bronze, and Dark Bronze. For projects requiring historic charm, Sternberg Select antique finishes such as Old World Gray Textured, Verde Green, and Swedish Iron provide a timeless appeal. Custom finishes like Rust, Weathered Brown, Cedar, Old Iron, and Weathered Black are also available, each applied with unique techniques for a distinctive, site-specific look.
The B750SRLED Avenue luminaire stands out as more than just a streetlight. Integrated with IntelliStreets® smart city features, it becomes a central point for communication, environmental monitoring, public safety, and wayfinding. Optional digital signage transforms poles into interactive hubs for event promotion, advertising, and community messaging, while “Push Blue” emergency systems create an immediate link to first responders, complete with real-time video, audio communication, and visual beacons to accelerate emergency response. Wireless mesh transceivers enable bidirectional communication across the network, offering self-healing redundancy and supporting adaptive lighting control that reduces energy use by up to 70%. Environmental sensors can monitor air quality, weather conditions, seismic activity, or even detect hazardous gases, providing valuable data for urban planning and safety.
By combining advanced LED illumination with integrated smart technologies, concealed audio and visual communication systems, and customizable design elements, the B750SRLED Avenue Intellistreets® luminaire redefines what a post top fixture can achieve. It enhances safety, enriches community interaction, and provides municipalities and campuses with a scalable, future-ready platform for smart city initiatives.
