The VRWB series is a specification-grade, bullnose-style LED wall-mounted luminaire engineered for environments that demand exceptional security, durability, and vandal resistance. Designed to withstand abuse and prevent tampering, this fixture is ideal for correctional facilities, detention cells, psychiatric wards, and other high-security applications. Its rugged clamshell construction features concealed hinges, tamper-resistant fasteners, and a backplate with a contraband trap to eliminate opportunities for concealment or unauthorized access. The design ensures both structural integrity and occupant safety while maintaining an efficient, uniform light distribution suitable for behavioral and institutional settings.
Engineered with precision, the housing of the fixture is formed from a single piece of die-formed material, available in multiple gauges and compositions according to project specifications. All corners are TIG welded to create a seamless, sealed joint that prevents tampering and debris intrusion. The door frame is secured to the housing with TORX® tamper-resistant fasteners featuring a center pin, ensuring long-term durability and preventing unauthorized removal. The backplate is constructed from die-formed cold rolled steel in 14-, 16-, or 18-gauge thicknesses, with embossed mounting holes for secure installation and an integrated contraband trap to prevent concealment behind the fixture.
A concealed, piano-style hinge connects the door frame to the backplate, providing smooth operation and secure attachment. The hinge features a 0.500-inch knuckle and a 0.125-inch pin that is permanently welded to the frame for enhanced resistance to impact and vandalism. The design conceals all hardware from view, minimizing ligature points and improving overall fixture integrity.
The VRWB wall mount fixture offers multiple lens configurations for both the fixture-facing and room-facing sides, accommodating specific application requirements for security and optical performance. Lens materials are available in various grades of impact-resistant acrylic or polycarbonate, with a maximum thickness of 0.625 inches. Each lens is mechanically retained using adjustable brackets along its profile, ensuring consistent pressure and a secure fit that can withstand repeated abuse while maintaining optical clarity and safety.
Finished in a durable, white polyester powder coat, the fixture’s surface provides high reflectivity to enhance light distribution and maintain visual comfort. This finish resists chipping, scratching, and corrosion, making it well-suited for institutional environments that require both durability and cleanability.
Inside, long-life LEDs are paired with high-efficiency electronic drivers to deliver dependable performance and consistent light output. The system is rated to achieve an L80 lifetime exceeding 50,000 hours, minimizing maintenance demands in secure or hard-to-access areas. The standard driver offers total harmonic distortion below 20% and supports low-voltage dimming via a 0–10V interface with a 1% dimming range, allowing flexible control options in modern facilities. All electrical components are CSA or UL approved, ensuring compliance with safety and performance standards. The fixture also includes a ½-inch EMT hole for convenient wiring connections during installation.
Optional features enhance its adaptability across applications. Available configurations include an emergency LED battery pack for continued operation during power outages and a red LED array for use in night lighting or low-visibility scenarios. With lumen packages ranging from 3,000 to 20,000 lumens and color temperatures offered in 3500K, 4000K, and 5000K, this luminaire delivers both the robustness and visual quality necessary for high-security and institutional environments.
Overall, the VRWB series represents a balance between security-focused construction and high-quality LED technology, providing reliable, tamper-resistant lighting for correctional, healthcare, and behavioral health facilities where safety, durability, and visual comfort are paramount.
