NUVO Lighting 65-842-4 LED Area Light Type IV, 150W, Bronze Finish, 4000K, 120-277V

Type IV is a forward-throw pattern, so the NUVO 65-842-4 pushes its light out in front of the fixture rather than spreading it evenly on all sides. That makes it the pattern used along the perimeter of a parking lot or on a building wall facing the lot, where you want the light pushed away from the structure and no spill behind the pole. If you need light on both sides of a pole in a drive aisle, a Type III or Type V distribution is the better choice.

A slip-fitter mount ships with the fixture, so it slides onto a tenon or a horizontal arm of matching pipe size and clamps down. If your poles are drilled for a direct arm mount instead of carrying a tenon, the slip-fitter will not bolt to that pattern and you will need the correct arm or tenon adapter for the pole.

It accepts any line voltage from 120V to 277V, so the same fixture works on 120, 208, 240 and 277 circuits without changing part numbers. That is why a lot of property managers standardize on it across a portfolio where some sites are single-phase 120/240 and others are 277 off a three-phase 480 service.

Yes, it is an outdoor fixture with a wet location rating and cULus certification, so it can go on an open pole, a wall, or anywhere exposed to direct rain. The housing is die-cast aluminum, which is what holds up on an unsheltered pole top in a lot.

The NUVO 65-842-4 draws 150W and delivers 19,507 lumens, which is in the range of output a 400W metal halide shoebox produced when new. Because HID loses a large share of its output over life and LED holds up better, retrofitting one-for-one onto existing poles usually keeps or improves the lit levels while cutting connected load by roughly 250W per pole.

The fixture is dimmable, so it can be paired with a compatible outdoor dimming control for part-night setback. Note the color temperature is fixed at 4000K, not field-selectable, so if your site has a mix of 3000K and 5000K fixtures you need to order to match rather than adjust it on the pole.

The LED is integrated into the fixture, so there is no lamp to pull and no socket to re-lamp. Service is at the fixture or driver level rather than by changing a bulb. Rated life is 50,000 hours, which on a dusk-to-dawn schedule of roughly 4,000 hours a year is about 12 years of operation.

It measures 20.71 inches long, 12.4 inches wide and 3.11 inches high, and weighs 8.08 lbs. That is a slim, light head by parking-lot standards, so EPA loading on an existing pole is modest compared with the HID shoebox it typically replaces. Use the 20.71 by 12.4 inch footprint to check clearance on the arm and tenon before you order.

4000K neutral white at 80 CRI is the standard spec for parking lots, drive aisles and loading areas, and it is what most security camera coverage is commissioned around because it renders color better than the old orange high pressure sodium. If the site is a hospitality or residential frontage where a warmer look is wanted, 4000K will read cooler than a 3000K fixture next to it.

Bronze is the finish, which is the usual match for existing dark bronze poles and arms on commercial lots and multi-family sites. If your site hardware is black or white, the bronze head will read differently against it.

Yes. Lead is identified as a Prop 65 chemical for this fixture, which matters if you are procuring for a California public agency or school and have to pass the notice through. The fixture is also RoHS compliant.
