NUVO Lighting 65-861 LED Area Light Type III, 100W, Bronze Finish, 5000K, 277-480V

The 65-861 is a high-voltage fixture, rated 277V-480V. It will run on 277V single phase or 480V service, which is what most commercial parking lots and site poles are fed with. It is not a 120-277V universal driver, so do not put it on a 120V or 208V circuit.

It ships with a 2-3/8 inch slip-fitter mount, so it slides over a standard 2-3/8 inch outside diameter tenon or horizontal arm and clamps down. If your pole has a drill-pattern arm plate instead of a tenon, you need a tenon adapter or a different mounting configuration. Fixture weight is 7.88 lbs, which any standard tenon handles.

It is a wet location rated outdoor fixture, so direct rain and weather exposure on an open pole is fine. Safety listing is cULus certified, which covers both US and Canadian installations. Housing is die-cast aluminum and the fixture is RoHS compliant. Note the Prop 65 chemical listed for it is lead.

Type III throws light forward and out to the sides in an asymmetric pattern, which suits poles set along the edge of a lot, a drive lane, or a roadway where you want the light pushed into the area and kept off the property line behind the pole. If the pole sits in the middle of a lot and you need light on all sides, a Type V square or round distribution is the correct choice instead; for a narrow strip straight ahead, Type II.

Output is 13,793 lumens at 100W. Color is 5000K with a CRI of 80, a cool white that reads well for security and camera coverage. At that lumen package it is the range commonly used to take out a 250W to 400W metal halide shoebox on a site pole, with the LED holding output far better over time.

Yes, the 100W Type III area light is dimmable, so it can be tied into a dimming control or bi-level scheme for after-hours setback. Note the fixture is fixed at 5000K, with no field-selectable CCT switch, so color temperature cannot be changed on site.

No. The LED array is integrated, with no lamp base and no replaceable bulb, so the whole fixture is the serviceable unit. Rated life is 50,000 hours, which for dusk-to-dawn operation of roughly 4,000 hours a year works out to about 12 years. For an MRO plan, budget fixture replacement rather than relamping.

The only mounting and control hardware included is the 2-3/8 inch slip-fitter. If you want dusk-to-dawn switching, plan on either a separate photocontrol or a contactor and time clock at the panel. Also confirm the control you pick is rated for the fixture's 277V-480V supply, not a 120V-only photocell.

The housing measures 20.71 inches long, 12.4 inches wide and 3.11 inches high, weighing 7.88 lbs. The low 3.11 inch profile keeps the effective projected area small, which matters when you are ganging two or four heads on one pole in a high wind zone.

Bronze is the finish offered on the 65-861, which is the standard match for most commercial site poles and existing shoebox heads. Styling is plain utility, so a mixed run of old and new heads on the same lot will read consistently from the ground.
