NUVO Lighting 65-850 LED Area Light Type III, 100W, Bronze Finish, 4000K, 120-347V

Type III distribution throws light forward and to the sides in an asymmetric pattern, which is what you want along the edges of a parking lot, a drive aisle, or a roadway where the pole sits at the perimeter and you do not want light spilling behind onto a property line. The NUVO 65-850 is a 100W LED area light producing 13,793 lumens at 4000K. For poles set in the middle of a lot with parking on all sides, a Type V (square or round symmetric) pattern covers better.

Yes. The 65-850 is a multi-volt driver rated 100V to 347V, so the same fixture runs on 120V, 208V, 240V, 277V, and 347V without ordering a different voltage version. That is the practical reason to spec it on a multi-building site where the parking lot circuits are 277V and the service by the building is 120V.

The 65-850 is fixed at 4000K with an 80 CRI, a neutral white that reads slightly warmer than the 5000K often used in older LED and metal halide lots. It is not CCT selectable, so if your site is standardized on 5000K this fixture will visibly differ. Property managers standardizing a campus should pick one CCT and stay with it across replacements.

It is rated for wet locations and listed for outdoor use, so direct rain, snow, and washdown on a pole or building face are within rating. Housing is cast aluminum in a bronze finish, and the fixture carries a ULus listing.

The fixture is dimmable, which means the driver accepts a dimming control signal, so it can be tied into a lighting control scheme rather than running at full output all night. The LED module is integrated and not replaceable, so any control you add works through the driver, not a lamp swap.

Output is the thing to check. The 65-850 puts out 13,793 lumens from 100W of draw. A 400W metal halide head starts near 36,000 lumens but loses a large share of that over its life and throws light in all directions, so delivered footcandles on the pavement are much closer than the raw numbers suggest. For a straight pole-for-pole swap on a parking lot, run the photometrics or step up in wattage; for walkways, perimeter drives, and lower-mount applications this is the typical retrofit size.

Rated life is 50,000 hours. The LED array is integrated, so there is no lamp or module to change out, and at end of life the fixture is replaced rather than relamped. For an MRO plan, 50,000 hours works out to roughly 11 to 12 years of dusk-to-dawn operation at about 4,200 burn hours a year.

The 65-850 is RoHS compliant. It also carries a California Prop 65 notice for lead, which is standard on cast metal lighting housings and is a disclosure requirement rather than a restriction on installation. Institutional buyers filing submittals should include both items.
