This bullnose-profile wall-mounted luminaire is a purpose-built, bidirectional lighting solution designed to meet the demanding requirements of correctional and institutional environments. Engineered for permanent installation, it delivers both upward and downward light distribution to enhance visibility, safety, and ambiance within secured spaces such as cells, dayrooms, corridors, cafeterias, restrooms, showers, containment areas, and recreational rooms. The fixture’s sleek bullnose form complements its robust construction, providing a clean architectural appearance while maintaining superior resistance to abuse and tampering.
A defining feature of this luminaire is its innovative door-free design, which eliminates potential points of access for contraband concealment or manipulation. Its housing is fabricated as a single-piece, TIG-welded assembly made from prime-grade material for maximum strength and security. Cold-rolled steel and stainless-steel versions are both available, each coated in a durable gloss white TGIC polyester powder finish with a five-stage pre-treatment process to ensure corrosion resistance and longevity. The housing’s seamless, continuously welded corners are smooth and free from post-grinding, reflecting the precision craftsmanship required for high-security environments. A one-piece concealed lens retention bracket ensures the lens remains firmly secured without external access points.
Inside, the luminaire features a serviceable mid-power LED module optimized for longevity and consistent performance. It is available in multiple color temperatures—3500K, 4000K, and 5000K—with a maximum three-step MacAdam ellipse variation to maintain color uniformity across installations. The fixture provides a minimum 82 CRI for accurate color rendering, with a 90 CRI option available for applications requiring enhanced visual quality. Thermal management is integral to the design, using under-stressed drivers and effective heat dissipation to extend LED lifespan and maintain stable performance even under demanding operating conditions.
Optically, the fixture utilizes a high-efficiency diffused inner lens made of impact-resistant acrylic, paired with a clear polycarbonate or tempered glass outer lens. This dual-layer lens construction balances durability with soft, uniform light output, enhancing both safety and visual comfort in correctional or behavioral health settings. Lens configurations range up to 0.500" in total thickness, allowing designers to tailor the level of impact resistance and diffusion to specific application needs.
Electrical performance is driven by a constant-current driver operating at 120–277VAC or 347VAC, 50/60Hz, with less than 20% total harmonic distortion (THD) and a power factor above 0.90. The system maintains at least 85% efficiency and supports standard 0–10V dimming with a 1–100% range and dim-to-dark capability (except at 347V input). Optional eldoLED ECOdrive DALI drivers are available for advanced networked control with smooth dimming. An optional embedded microwave motion sensor can be factory-configured with a 20-minute timeout, automatically dimming the fixture to 30% when the area is unoccupied—supporting both safety and operational efficiency.
The luminaire mounts securely to the wall through external mounting holes using six high-security bolts, ensuring a tamper-resistant installation. It is listed for Damp Location use and has been UL certified by Intertek Testing Laboratory, verifying compliance with stringent safety and performance standards.
Designed for environments where security, durability, and reliability are paramount, this wall-mounted LED light combines precision engineering with architectural integrity. Its door-free, TIG-welded construction, robust optical design, and flexible control options make it an ideal lighting solution for correctional, behavioral health, and other institutional applications that require long-lasting, tamper-resistant performance.
