The surface-mount hexagonal LED ceiling light is purpose-built for demanding environments where safety, durability, and tamper resistance are essential. With a nominal 13-inch diameter, this fixture features an innovative, door-free design that completely eliminates the possibility of contraband concealment or tampering—making it ideal for correctional cells, behavioral health facilities, washrooms, transportation platforms, underpasses, tunnels, and corridors. Designed for permanent installation, the fixture’s construction and security-oriented features ensure both long service life and reliable performance in high-risk or controlled environments.
The housing is formed from a single piece of prime-grade material using precision TIG welding, resulting in a fully sealed, seamless structure. Cold-rolled steel and stainless steel versions are available, both treated with a five-stage pre-treatment process and finished in a gloss white TGIC polyester powder coat for superior corrosion resistance and aesthetic durability. The continuously seam-welded corners are smooth with no post grinding, creating a refined yet rugged enclosure that resists penetration and prevents concealment. The one-piece design incorporates a reinforced, continuous lens retention system with a two-piece concealed bracket, maintaining the integrity of the fixture while securing the lens in place under extreme conditions.
To deliver dependable, consistent light output and ensure longevity, the fixture incorporates advanced LED thermal management and an under-stressed driver design. The mid-power LED array operates at an 80 CRI minimum, providing high-quality color rendering suitable for both visual comfort and safety. A maximum three-step MacAdam color variation tolerance ensures uniform color consistency across all fixtures. The fixture’s electrical system operates on 120–277 VAC or 347 VAC at 50/60 Hz, featuring a serviceable constant-current driver with less than 20% total harmonic distortion (THD), a power factor greater than 0.90, and a minimum driver efficiency of 85%. Standard 0–10V dimming is provided, offering smooth control from 1–100% and full dim-to-dark functionality (except with 347V operation). The driver’s low source current draw, limited to a maximum of 165 µA, makes it compatible with most lighting control systems.
Optical performance is enhanced through a high-efficiency, diffused inner lens made of impact-resistant DR acrylic, paired with an outer lens of either clear polycarbonate or tempered glass. Lens configurations are available in multiple thicknesses—ranging from 0.125 to 0.375 inches for both materials—providing flexibility in balancing impact resistance, optical diffusion, and environmental protection. The overall lens assembly has a maximum combined thickness of 0.500 inches, ensuring robustness while maintaining a clean, low-profile design.
The fixture’s installation method is secure and straightforward, designed for surface mounting on ceilings using six external high-security bolts (supplied by others). This tamper-resistant mounting approach ensures the luminaire remains firmly attached and inaccessible once installed, meeting the rigorous safety requirements of correctional and behavioral facilities.
Certified to UL standards by Intertek Testing Laboratory, the luminaire is rated for damp locations as standard, with an available WL option for wet locations under covered ceilings. This certification ensures compliance with national safety and performance standards while supporting installation flexibility across various architectural and institutional applications.
Combining robust construction, seamless design, and precision-engineered optical and electrical performance, this hexagonal LED ceiling light offers a secure, low-maintenance, and visually consistent solution for challenging environments where tamper resistance and longevity are critical priorities.
