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

It ships with a 2-3/8 inch slip-fitter mount, so it slides onto a 2-3/8 inch outside-diameter tenon or pole arm and clamps there. If your existing poles have a square arm or a 4-inch tenon, you need a different mount or an adapter; the slip-fitter is what comes in the box.

The 150W area light is a 120V-277V multi-volt fixture, so 120, 208, 240 and 277 all work with no change to the driver. 480V service will not run it; for a 480V pole circuit you need a 347-480V fixture or a step-down transformer.

Yes, it carries a wet location rating and is built for outdoor use, with a die-cast aluminum housing that also serves as the heat sink. It is cULus certified.

Type III throws light forward and to the sides in an asymmetric pattern, which suits perimeter poles along the edge of a lot or a driveway where you want the light pushed out into the drive lane and kept off the property line behind the pole. For poles sitting in the middle of a lot with parking on both sides, a Type V (square/round symmetric) pattern covers better. The 65-842 delivers 19,507 lumens at 150W.

At 19,507 lumens from 150W it is in the range typically used to replace a 400W metal halide or high pressure sodium shoebox, which loses a large share of its initial output over life. The LED is rated 50,000 hours average with no lamp to relamp, since the LED is integrated into the fixture. Confirm your pole takes the 2-3/8 inch slip-fitter mount it comes with.

The fixture is dimmable, so it can be tied into a dimming control scheme across the 120-277V input range. There is no selectable color temperature, it is fixed at 4000K, so dimming is the only output adjustment available.

The 65-842 is fixed 4000K with 80 CRI, a neutral white that is the most common choice for parking and roadway. If the rest of your site is 5000K the difference will be visible side by side, and this fixture cannot be field-switched to another color temperature.

It weighs 8.08 lbs and measures 20.71 inches long by 12.4 inches wide by 3.11 inches high. That is light enough for one person to set on a tenon from a bucket, and the low 3.11 inch profile keeps the EPA load on the pole down compared with an older HID shoebox.

The LED is integrated, with no socket or replaceable lamp, so there is nothing to relamp. Average rated life is 50,000 hours. When the array or driver goes, the fixture is replaced rather than serviced with a lamp, which is worth knowing if you are used to stocking spare HID lamps for a site.

Model 65-842 is built in bronze only, which is the standard dark finish for parking lot and site poles. Spec it as 65/842 to get the bronze Type III 150W version.

It is RoHS compliant, and it carries a California Prop 65 warning for lead. Institutional and government buyers who need that disclosure on file should note both.
