NUVO Lighting 65-866 LED Area Light Type III, 240W, Bronze Finish, 4000K, 277-480V

The 65-866 is a high-voltage fixture, rated 277V to 480V. That covers 277V and 480V commercial and industrial service, but it will not run on 120V or 208-240V. If your pole circuit is 120-277V, you need the low-voltage version of the fixture instead.

A 2-3/8 inch slip-fitter mount ships with the fixture. That slides over a 2-3/8 inch outside-diameter tenon or mast arm, which is the common pole tenon size for parking lot and roadway poles. If your pole has a flat drill pattern rather than a tenon, you need an arm-mount version or a separate adapter; the slip-fitter will not bolt flat to a square pole.

Wet location rated and cULus certified, so it is suitable for direct rain exposure on an open pole or mast arm, not just damp or covered locations. The housing is die-cast aluminum.

Fixed 4000K neutral white, with a CRI of 80. It is not CCT selectable, so there is no field switch to drop it to 3000K or raise it to 5000K. If you are adding poles to a lot already running 4000K fixtures, this matches; if your site standard is 5000K, order the 5000K version so the lot does not read two different colors.

Type III throws light forward and to the sides in an asymmetric pattern, so it is the usual choice for perimeter poles along a drive lane or down one side of a parking lot, where you want coverage pushed out away from the pole and little light behind it. For a pole in the middle of a lot needing light in all directions you want a Type V; for a narrow strip or a wall-adjacent run, a Type II is tighter. The 65-866 puts out 31,481 lumens at 240W in that Type III pattern.

At 240W drawing and 31,481 delivered lumens, the fixture is in the range normally used to replace 750W to 1000W HID shoebox fixtures, which lose a large share of their initial lumens over life. Confirm the voltage first: the 65-866 is 277V-480V only, and many older HID shoeboxes were tapped at 480V, so that usually lines up. The included 2-3/8 inch slip-fitter means it drops onto an existing tenon without new pole drilling.

The fixture is dimmable, so it can be tied into a 0-10V style dimming or scheduling control scheme for after-hours lumen reduction. The LED is integrated, meaning there is no lamp to pull, and the driver and board are serviced or replaced as part of the fixture.

It weighs 11.93 lbs and measures 30.28 inches long by 12.39 inches wide by 3.11 inches high. Use the 30.28 by 3.11 inch face against your pole manufacturer's EPA table when you are loading multiple heads on one pole in a high-wind area.

Average rated life is 50,000 hours. On a dusk-to-dawn schedule of roughly 4,000 hours a year that works out to around 12 years of service, which is the figure facilities buyers usually use when they are comparing relamp labor on HID heads against a sealed LED fixture.

Yes. Lead is listed as a California Prop 65 chemical for this fixture, which matters if you are specifying into a California project and need the warning language on submittals. The fixture is RoHS compliant.
