The wall-mounted luminaire features a bi-directional lighting design that provides uniform up and down light distribution, making it ideal for secure and institutional environments requiring reliable and consistent visibility. Engineered for long-term, permanent installation, this fixture incorporates an innovative door-free construction that completely eliminates the potential for contraband concealment or tampering. The housing is fabricated as a one-piece, TIG-welded assembly with continuous, reinforced lens retention for exceptional structural integrity and durability. To ensure optimal longevity, the fixture includes advanced LED thermal management and an under-stressed driver system, both of which contribute to maintaining stable operation and extending service life even under demanding conditions.
Designed for versatile application within correctional and institutional facilities, this luminaire is well suited for use in cells, dayrooms, cafeterias, restrooms, showers, corridors, sally ports, containment areas, and other secure indoor recreational spaces. Its robust construction and tamper-resistant design make it particularly effective in environments where safety, security, and reliability are paramount.
The fixture supports a wide range of lens configurations to meet specific environmental and protection requirements. Options include clear polycarbonate and tempered glass lenses in thicknesses ranging from 0.125” to 0.500”, as well as diffused DR acrylic lenses for soft, symmetric light distribution. Each lens type is engineered for impact resistance and optical clarity, ensuring dependable performance while maintaining visual comfort in high-security settings.
Control and driver options provide flexibility for modern facility management. An optional embedded microwave motion sensor (MS) offers automatic dimming and occupancy detection, with a factory default 20-minute timeout and dimming down to 30% output. The standard driver supports 120–277VAC or 347VAC input at 50/60Hz, delivering a serviceable constant-current output with less than 20% total harmonic distortion and a power factor greater than 0.90. Standard 0–10V dimming allows smooth control from 1–100% (excluding dim-to-dark functionality at 347V). Optional eldoLED ECOdrive DALI drivers are also available, supporting a 1–100% dimming range for advanced networked lighting control systems.
Constructed from die-formed, prime-grade materials, the luminaire housing is available in cold-rolled steel or painted stainless steel, both finished with a gloss white TGIC polyester powder coat applied after a five-stage pre-treatment process for maximum adhesion and corrosion resistance. The continuous TIG seam welds feature smoothed corners without post grinding, ensuring a clean, sealed appearance and added resistance to penetration or tampering. A one-piece concealed lens retention bracket enhances the fixture’s security and ease of maintenance.
Installation is straightforward and secure via external mounting holes, using six high-security bolts (provided by others). The luminaire’s serviceable mid-power LED module is available in 3500K, 4000K, and 5000K color temperatures with a tight 3-step MacAdam consistency for color uniformity. A minimum 82 CRI (R9 >20) is standard, with an optional 90 CRI (R9 >50) version available for applications requiring enhanced color rendering.
Certified by Intertek Testing Laboratory to UL standards for Damp Location use, this fixture ensures compliance with stringent safety and performance requirements. The optical system incorporates a high-efficiency diffused inner lens combined with a clear polycarbonate or tempered glass outer layer, offering both visual comfort and superior impact resistance. With a maximum overall lens thickness of 0.625 inches, the design balances durability with aesthetic precision, making it a dependable choice for correctional, institutional, and behavioral health environments that demand long-term reliability and secure performance.
