The Heritage II Series combines timeless 17th century styling with the performance of modern solid-state lighting technology, making it an elegant yet practical choice for streetscapes, campuses, parks, and traditional downtown environments. This medium-scale post top luminaire is defined by its tapered six-sided cage and roof, offered with three distinct roof designs that allow customization to suit a wide range of architectural and site-specific applications. With its blend of heritage-inspired form and cutting-edge LED performance, the Heritage II Series preserves classic character while meeting today’s standards for efficiency, reliability, and safety.
For mounting versatility, the luminaire can be configured in both standard post top and specialty installations. A hang-straight transition is required for most hanging versions, with the factory-installed EZ hang-straight system providing a durable cast stainless steel ball and swivel mechanism for vertical alignment and easy installation. A catenary mount option is also available, featuring a cast aluminum span wire clamp designed to accommodate aircraft cables ranging from 1/4" to 5/8" in diameter. This mount includes a decorative cast aluminum wire box and cover that transitions into the EZ hang-straight system for fixture attachment, allowing suspension mounting across streets or plazas where pole mounting is not feasible.
Optical performance and visual comfort are supported by a range of lens options. A SoftVue™ lens can be specified to reduce glare and optimize viewing comfort, while optional internal diffusing lenses—including light, moderate, or maximum diffusion acrylic flat lenses—further enhance visual quality in sensitive applications. For installations requiring reduced backlight, the BLOC (Back Light Optical Control) internal shield is available to minimize glare and light trespass while maintaining the classic aesthetic of the fixture. For a more ornamental touch, an optional hourglass-shaped opal glass Hurricane Chimney mounted in a decorative brass holder can be added inside the lens, enriching the luminaire with a historically inspired detail.
The Heritage II Series integrates a high-performance LED system designed for longevity and efficiency. The LEDs are mounted to maximize thermal transfer and are RoHS compliant, free from lead, mercury, or other hazardous substances. Based on LM-80 and TM-21 testing, lumen maintenance is projected at 100,000 hours with over 70% of initial output retained at 25°C. Standard CCT is 4000K with options for 2700K, 3000K, 3500K, and 5000K, all with a minimum 70 CRI, with higher CRI options available by request. The electronic driver is UL recognized and mounted internally for optimized reliability. It operates at 50/60Hz, provides 0–10V dimming, and includes surge protection in compliance with IEEE/ANSI standards. Built-in safeguards protect against overload, overheating, and short circuit conditions, ensuring long-lasting operation. An optional numbered 10-step selector switch allows light levels to be field-adjusted from 25% to 100% of maximum output, ensuring repeatable settings across multiple installations. For automatic dusk-to-dawn operation, a button photocell can be factory-installed and prewired to the driver.
Durability is a central feature of this series. The aluminum fitter includes four stainless steel Allen-head set screws and is engineered to slip-fit a 3" OD x 3" tall tenon. All hardware is stainless steel, with finishes that either match or complement the fixture. The luminaire receives Sternberg’s six-stage polyester powder coat system, exceeding AAMA and ASTM standards for corrosion and weather resistance, and is available in both smooth and textured finishes. Standard finish options include Black, White, Park Green, Architectural Medium Bronze, and Dark Bronze. Specialty finishes from Sternberg’s Select palette, including hand-applied antique effects such as Old World Gray, Verde Green, Swedish Iron, and custom options like Weathered Brown, Cedar, Old Iron, or Weathered Black, allow designers to tailor the fixture to the site’s character.
The Heritage II Series is UL listed per UL1598 and CSA C22.2 standards for use in the U.S. and Canada and is fully suitable for wet locations. It has an EPA rating of 2.46 ft² and weighs 55 lbs, making it a substantial yet manageable fixture for poles and catenary systems. Backed by a seven-year limited warranty, the Heritage II Series ensures reliability and peace of mind for municipalities, campuses, and developers seeking to balance timeless aesthetics with modern lighting performance.
