The LED luminaire features a textured tertiary lens designed to minimize glare while incorporating an uplight component that eliminates the “cave effect” commonly experienced in enclosed or low-ceiling environments. This optical design ensures balanced light distribution and visual comfort in both open and covered spaces. Available with outputs ranging from 3,047 to 13,680 lumens, the fixture delivers consistent and reliable performance across a variety of demanding applications, including parking garages, gymnasiums, multipurpose rooms, and canopy installations. Lens options include textured acrylic or textured polycarbonate, both UV-stabilized and impact-resistant for long-term durability and clarity.
At its core, the fixture employs an arrayed, backlit mid-power LED light source, offering multiple color temperature and CRI configurations with a minimum CRI of 70. It supports 120-277 VAC, 347 VAC, and 480 VAC single-phase input at 50/60Hz and is powered by a constant-current dimming driver that maintains <20% total harmonic distortion and a power factor greater than 0.90. The system achieves a minimum of 83% electrical efficiency and uses a 0-10V dimming protocol with a 10–100% range (or 1–100% on 45L and 70L configurations), including dim-to-dark capability on select lumen packages. Each luminaire includes a replaceable surge suppressor rated to 20kA/kV per IEEE/ANSI C62.41 Cat. A, ensuring protection against transient voltage events. The driver assembly is EMC-compliant per FCC 47 CFR Part 15 Class B and meets IEC 61000-4-4 and IEC 61000-4-5 Class 4 surge requirements for robust electrical performance.
Constructed with marine-grade die-cast aluminum and UV-stabilized polycarbonate, the housing is engineered for superior environmental resistance. A TGIC polyester powder coat finish is applied to aluminum components following a five-step pre-treatment process that passes a 1,000-hour salt spray test per ASTM B117, guaranteeing long-term corrosion resistance. Closed-cell silicone gasketing seals all housing interfaces to maintain the luminaire’s integrity under harsh conditions.
Certified to UL standards by Intertek Testing Laboratory for wet locations, the luminaire carries an IP65 rating per IEC 60598, with an optional upgrade to IP66 for additional ingress protection. It is suitable for ambient environments ranging from -40°C to 40°C and has been tested to an IK10 impact protection rating per IEC 60068-2-75:1997-08 (with textured polycarbonate lens type). The product is also compliant with the Build America, Buy America Act.
A variety of mounting methods enhance installation flexibility, including Direct-to-Surface (DTS) and Quick-Mount (QM) configurations over a recessed junction box, as well as trunnion (TK) or pendant mounting (PM) via ¾" rigid sealed conduit. Optical options include Type V-Square and V-Narrow roadway distributions, with multiple uplight configurations optically integrated with the primary source to provide upward illumination without additional power consumption. The UV-stabilized tertiary lens, available in clear textured polycarbonate or DR acrylic, offers exceptional light control and impact resistance. Photometric performance is verified per IESNA LM-79-08 by an ILAC/ISO17025-accredited laboratory, and data can be accessed through Kenall’s website.
The luminaire is fully compatible with TekLink™ lighting control systems, allowing users to implement smart, energy-saving technologies tailored to their project needs. The TekLink TL100 system offers centralized, wired zonal occupancy sensing and daylight harvesting. For larger, connected installations, the TL1000 and TL2000 provide adaptive wired or wireless communication between nodes, featuring advanced scheduling, energy management, and cloud-based system control with comprehensive reporting and notifications. For standalone operation, the TekLink TL50 control system is integrated directly into the luminaire, featuring an embedded occupancy sensor with adjustable dimming and time-out settings, while the TL50DM variant adds a closed-loop daylight harvesting function.
The product is backed by a limited ten-year warranty, ensuring long-term reliability and performance. When ordered with a Direct-to-Surface (DTS) mounting and textured polycarbonate (TP) lens, the luminaire also qualifies for Kenall’s Peace of Mind Guarantee™, providing an added layer of assurance for demanding applications.
