The surface-mount wall sconce for institutional rough service is a compact yet robust LED fixture measuring 7 inches wide, 12 inches high, and 3 inches deep. Constructed for reliability and long-term use in demanding environments, it features an 18-gauge cold rolled steel housing finished with a durable TGIC polyester powder coat applied through a five-step pre-treatment process for enhanced corrosion resistance and longevity. The fixture’s lens is made from UV-stabilized, high-impact pearlescent polycarbonate, designed with a smooth exterior and linear prismatic interior for consistent light diffusion. With a nominal lens thickness of 0.156 inches, the lens is secured to the housing using tamper-resistant stainless steel Torx® fasteners with center pins to ensure protection against vandalism and unauthorized access.
This wall-mounted sconce is suitable for a wide range of institutional and commercial applications, including parks and recreation centers, locker rooms, dormitories, restrooms, stairwells, foyers, lobbies, corridors, and multifamily housing developments. It also performs effectively in damp or semi-exterior locations such as entryways and covered walkways. Its ADA-compliant low-profile design makes it ideal for installation in areas where accessibility and impact resistance are both critical.
The fixture is equipped with a high-performance LED lighting system available in 3500K, 4000K, and 5000K color temperatures with a color rendering index (CRI) of 80. It operates at 120–277VAC, 50/60Hz, using a high power factor electronic constant-current driver (>0.90 PF). Standard 0–10V dimming is included, allowing a smooth dimming range from 1% to 100%, with a maximum driver source current of 200 μA. This ensures adaptability to various lighting controls and energy management systems within institutional environments.
For structural integrity and installation versatility, the housing incorporates standard four-point mounting, which is required to maintain the One-Year Guarantee. For surface conduit installations, the interior of the end caps includes designated drill points for field drilling. The end caps and decorative bands are constructed from high-impact injection-molded polycarbonate in either black or white finishes, allowing the fixture to coordinate with a variety of architectural and interior styles.
The luminaire is UL listed by Intertek Testing Laboratories for damp location applications and is tested to meet ADA compliance standards for wall-mounted fixtures. Photometric performance is verified according to IESNA LM-79-08 standards by an ILAC/ISO 17025 accredited laboratory, ensuring accurate and traceable data for lighting designers and specifiers. Additional photometric data is available through the manufacturer’s website for project planning and analysis.
This institutional wall sconce is backed by a comprehensive warranty program. The fixture itself carries a one-year warranty against defects in materials and workmanship, while the LED light source and driver are covered for five years against failures resulting in lumen depreciation of 30% or more. This combination of rugged construction, optical quality, and long-term dependability makes it a reliable solution for any high-abuse, high-traffic environment requiring both performance and resilience.
