NUVO Lighting 65-869 LED Area Light Type III, 300W, Bronze Finish, 5000K, 277-480V

The 65-869 is a high-voltage driver fixture, rated 277V-480V. It will run on 277V, 347V or 480V service within that band, but it is not a 120-277V universal fixture, so do not put it on a 120V or 208V circuit. For parking lots fed from a 480V panel this is the right voltage class.

It ships with a 2-3/8 inch slip-fitter mount, so it slides onto a 2-3/8 inch outside-diameter tenon or horizontal davit arm. If your pole has a square drilled-pattern face rather than a tenon, you need an arm or an adapter plate; the slip-fitter alone will not bolt flat to a pole shaft. Fixture weight is 12.35 lbs, which the pole and arm have to carry along with wind load.

Yes, it is a wet location rated outdoor fixture with a die-cast aluminum housing, cULus certified. That covers direct rain and snow on an open pole or building-mounted arm, which is what an area light sees.

Type III throws light forward and to the sides in an asymmetric pattern, which suits pole locations along the edge of a drive lane, roadway or the perimeter of a parking lot where you want the light pushed out into the lot and kept off the property line behind the pole. If the pole sits in the middle of a lot and needs light in all four directions, a Type V is the better pattern; for a narrow throw straight ahead, Type II or IV.

At 300W drawing 38,988 lumens, it is in the output range typically used to replace 750W to 1000W HID area fixtures, where lamp lumens degrade heavily over life. Rated life is 50,000 hours with an integrated LED array, so there is no lamp or ballast to change out, which is the main reason MRO and property crews make the swap. Note the LED is integrated and not field replaceable.

The fixture is dimmable, so it can be tied to a 0-10V type control scheme or a scheduling/dimming system for after-hours setback. Color temperature is fixed at 5000K, not field selectable, so every fixture on the site will match at 5000K with no switch to set.

It is a fixed 5000K cool white with 80 CRI. That is the usual parking lot and roadway color, and it will read noticeably bluer and brighter next to 4000K fixtures or older warm HPS heads. If you are patching into an existing lot, confirm what is already up there before mixing temperatures.

The head measures 30.28 inches long, 12.39 inches wide and 3.11 inches high, weighing 12.35 lbs. The low 3.11 inch profile keeps the EPA wind load down, which matters when you are hanging two to four heads on one pole and have to check the pole's rated loading.

This one is built as a single configuration: bronze finish, 300W, 5000K, Type III optics, 277-480V. There is no finish or wattage option to select on it, so if the job calls for a lower wattage or a different distribution type you are ordering a different model number in the family rather than an option on 65-869.

Yes. The 65-869 is listed with lead as a California Proposition 65 chemical, which is standard for die-cast aluminum outdoor fixtures and matters if you are shipping into California or doing institutional procurement that requires the disclosure. The fixture is RoHS compliant.
