NUVO Lighting 65-856 LED Area Light Type III, 240W, Bronze Finish, 4000K, 120-347V

Type III distribution throws light forward and to the sides in an asymmetric pattern, which is what you want on the perimeter of a parking lot or along a roadway or drive aisle where the pole sits at the edge of the paved area. The NUVO 65-856 is a 240W LED area light producing 31,481 lumens, so it covers a wide bay from a tall pole. If your poles sit in the middle of the lot with pavement on all sides, a Type V (square/round symmetric) distribution is the better pattern; Type II is for narrow two-lane drives.

Yes. The 240W Type III area light is a universal-input fixture rated 100V-347V, so the same unit works on 120V, 208V, 240V, 277V and 347V without changing the driver. That is what makes it usable on commercial 277V lighting branch circuits and Canadian 347V service alongside 120V residential-style feeds, so a property with mixed services can standardize on one part number.

It is an outdoor fixture with a Wet location rating, so direct exposure to rain, snow and sprinkler spray on an open pole or building-mount application is within rating. The housing is cast aluminum and the fixture is UL Listed (ULus) and RoHS compliant, which covers most municipal and institutional spec requirements for exterior site lighting.

The head measures 12.39 x 30.28 x 3.11 inches and weighs 11.93 lbs. That is a slim, low-profile housing, so EPA loading on an existing square or round pole is modest compared with an old HID shoebox of the same output. Confirm the pole's rated EPA at your wind zone and that the arm or adapter you have matches the fixture's mounting, since mounting hardware is ordered separately.

At 31,481 lumens, the 240W Type III fixture is in the range used to replace 750W to 1000W metal halide or high pressure sodium shoebox heads, which typically ran well under that delivered lumen output after lamp depreciation. Light output is comparable while connected load drops to 240W. Because the LEDs are integrated rather than lamped, there is no relamping, and rated life is 50,000 hours.

The fixture is dimmable, so it can be driven by an external 0-10V type dimming control for part-night setback or bi-level scheduling in a parking structure or campus lot. Note that it is not a CCT selectable fixture, the color temperature is fixed at 4000K, so if you need to field-set 3000K/4000K/5000K you need a selectable model instead. Any photocell, control module or mounting arm is a separate order item.

The light is fixed 4000K with a CRI of 80, a neutral white that reads cleaner than old high pressure sodium (yellow/amber) and slightly warmer than 5000K daylight heads. If the rest of your lot is 4000K LED, it will blend. If you are mixing it into a lot still running HPS, the difference will be obvious until the whole lot is converted. The housing is bronze.

No. The LED board is integrated, there is no lamp base and no lamp to pull, so maintenance is at the fixture or driver level rather than relamping. Rated average life is 50,000 hours. For an MRO plan, budget a spare head rather than spare lamps.

Yes. Lead is the listed Proposition 65 chemical for this area light, which is common for cast aluminum exterior fixtures. If you are procuring for a California public agency or a project with Prop 65 disclosure requirements, that warning needs to pass through on your submittal package.
