The Solana™ Arm Mount Luminaire is a stylish, modern lighting solution designed to complement contemporary urban environments. Its subtle yet sophisticated profile enhances architectural spaces, making it a perfect choice for municipal, institutional, and commercial projects. Beyond its refined aesthetics, the luminaire delivers advanced optical performance, offering a wide selection of optics, lenses, and distributions that ensure versatility across streetscapes, campuses, and pedestrian zones.
Constructed with durability in mind, the housing is engineered from a heavy-wall permanent mold heat sink using low-copper aluminum 356 alloy. This material provides excellent corrosion resistance and high tensile strength, ensuring long-term performance in demanding outdoor environments. The finned design efficiently dissipates heat away from the LEDs, while a spun aluminum cap completes the housing with strength and style. Supporting this robust structure is the proprietary AAD™ (Advanced Airflow Dynamics) thermal management system, which maximizes convective airflow through the heat sink. This passive cooling technology extends the life of the LEDs, maintains consistent lumen output, and ensures reliable energy efficiency even in challenging conditions.
Ease of service is a hallmark of the Solana™ design. Tool-less access to the driver compartment makes installation and maintenance straightforward, minimizing downtime and reducing long-term service costs. Inside the fixture, the high-efficiency electronic driver is UL recognized and mounted securely for protection and longevity. The driver operates at 50/60Hz, supports 0–10V dimming protocols, and includes overload, overheat, and short-circuit protection. Additional built-in surge protection complies with IEEE/ANSI standards, while quick-disconnect electrical connectors simplify power supply connections. With a power factor greater than 0.9 and total harmonic distortion below 20%, the system ensures optimized performance.
Optical customization is another strength of the Solana™ luminaire. The fixture is compatible with a wide range of lens options, from clear acrylic and sag acrylic to flat or frosted glass. Diffused choices from the SoftVue™ family, including light, moderate, and maximum diffusion levels, are available in both flat and sag configurations, enabling precise control over glare and visual comfort. In addition, dark sky compliant NightSky® optics allow for a U0 BUG rating in select configurations, minimizing light pollution and supporting environmentally responsible design. For further control, the luminaire accommodates Type II, III, IV, and V distributions tested in accordance with IESNA LM-79 standards, ensuring optimal illumination across diverse site applications.
Performance is reinforced by the luminaire’s durability certifications. It is UL listed per UL1598 and CSA C22.2 No. 250.0 for use in the United States and Canada and is suitable for wet locations. An IP66 rating provides superior resistance to dust and water intrusion, safeguarding the fixture against outdoor exposure. The LED system itself is RoHS compliant, containing no hazardous substances such as lead or mercury, and is 100% recyclable. With lumen maintenance validated by TM-21 projections using LM-80 data, the LEDs achieve a rated life of up to 100,000 hours with over 70% of initial output maintained. Available color temperatures include 2700K, 3000K, 3500K, 4000K, and 5000K, with a minimum CRI of 70 for high-quality illumination.
To maximize flexibility, the Solana™ luminaire integrates advanced control options. A field-adjustable Fixed Dimming Resistor Board (FDRB) offers ten-step output adjustment from 25% to 100%, enabling precise light level tuning repeatable across multiple locations. A programmable passive infrared motion sensor can be installed within the fixture, available with interchangeable coverage lenses suited for 40-foot or 70-foot detection ranges. The sensor also includes a dusk-to-dawn light sensor and can be pre-programmed at the factory or reprogrammed in the field using an optional wireless controller. Photocontrol options include twist-lock and button-style sensors in multiple voltage ranges, providing reliable instant on/off operation based on ambient light levels.
Additional accessories enhance performance and site adaptability. Shielding options include the BLOC internal Back Light Optical Control system and external 120° House Side Shields, both designed to reduce glare and backlight while maintaining the fixture’s architectural integrity. Optional fusing is also available for added protection.
The luminaire’s finish reflects its premium construction. A six-stage polyester powder coat system ensures superior durability, with quality inspections exceeding AAMA 2604, AAMA 2605, ASTM D523, and ASTM D4214 requirements. The Urban finish palette emphasizes a modern aesthetic with textured or matte options in Black Textured, Urban Gun Metal, Urban Bronze, Urban Silver, and Urban White, each incorporating metallic flakes for depth and sophistication. Stainless steel hardware completes the assembly, with black oxide coating applied to darker finishes and uncoated hardware used for lighter finishes, ensuring seamless design integration.
Finally, the Solana™ Arm Mount Luminaire is backed by a seven-year limited warranty, providing confidence in its long-term reliability. With its combination of durable construction, versatile optics, advanced controls, and sleek modern design, it stands out as an exceptional solution for contemporary roadways, campuses, and architectural lighting environments.
