GUIDE FORM SPECIFICATIONS
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The totally enclosed, weather-resistant luminaire designat-
ed___ (identify) shall be a GE CRITERION
TM
FLOOD LIGHTING
luminaire, ordering number_____________ (specify CFSX, CFMX,
or CFLX, plus ordering number logic from catalog) or approved
equal, to operate one ____(specify 250, 400) watt high-pressure
sodium or ______ (specify 250, 400, 1000) watt metal halide
mogul base or one ______ (specify 100, 150) watt high-pressure
sodium or _______ (specify 100, 175) watt metal halide medium
base lamp from a nominal _____(specify 120, 208, 240, 277,
or 480) volt, 60 hertz power source. The luminaire will include
an integral prewired SnapDrive
TM
ballast assembly and optical
assembly that shall produce a ___________ (specify wide, verti-
cal surface, medium, narrow, spot, or narrow spot) distribution.
The luminaire shall have UL/cUL listing SUITABLE FOR WET
LOCATIONS. The standard housing construction shall be IP65.
The luminaire shall be equipped with an activated charcoal
breathe-way for clean ventilation and long term maintained
foot-candles. Ballast, housing, optical, and luminaire assembly
shall all be built to GE Lighting Systems specifications.
OPTICAL ASSEMBLY
CRITERION
™
FLOOD LIGHTING
The optical assembly shall have a precision hydroformed alu-
minum reflector that has a chemically bonded lightweight
non-breakable ALGLAS® finish on all surfaces for precise light
control in combination with heat and impact resistant tem-
pered flat lens.
Asymmetric reflectors shall be used for vertical and horizontal
surface lighting applications and NEMA-type light distributions
for general purpose floodlighting. The luminaire shall be sup-
ported by a dedicated web site that will contain down-loadable
IES photometric files.
MECHANICAL CONSTRUCTION
The luminaire shall include a die-cast aluminum housing with
a polyester powder paint finish, glass lens, and a continuous
silicone gasket with no gaps to insure sealing. The luminaire
shall have tool-less entry or optional tamper-resistant entry
to prevent unauthorized entry. Door removal is accomplished
by loosening hinge screw(s) for quick and simple removal. All
hardware shall be corrosion-resistant. The luminaire shall have
provision for optional factory installed photoelectric control.
The luminaire shall be easily installed on 2-3/8 inch (143mm)
diameter tennon via a stylish slipfitter with an integrally sealed
wiring box that conceals and protects the wiring. The luminaire
design shall be tested and certified to withstand 2 G 300,000
cycle first harmonic 3 axis (100K cycles in each major axis)
shake test followed by a 4 G 10,000 cycle shake test without
any major failures.
BALLAST OPERATION
Ballast, ignitor, capacitor, and printed circuit board wiring shall
be installed onto a modular SnapDrive
TM
Electrical System
that snaps in and out of the luminaire without tools. Voltage
changes, wattage changes, the addition of optional EZAdd
TM
quartz switching device (400 watt only) and optional EZAdd
TM
400 watt HPS bilevel switching shall be accomplished with
the use of quick-change jumpers that shall be located on the
ballast printed circuit board. SnapDrive
TM
Electrical Systems
shall be interchangeable into other luminaires in the Criterion
TM
family of the same wattage size. The luminaire shall contain
a standard Auto-regulator (CWA) or Lag ballast for use with
metal halide, or high-pressure sodium lamps. Optional factory
installed fusing shall be available for all discrete voltages and
wattages. The ballast shall be compliant with NEMA specifica-
tions and lamp manufacturers specifications at the time of
manufacture. The ballast shall reliably start and operate the
lamp in ambient temperatures down to –20 degrees F for metal
halide and –40 degrees F for high-pressure sodium. Pulse start
metal halide ballasts shall be available from 100-400 watts.
Each SnapDrive
TM
Electrical System shall have a receptacle that
is compatible with the GE Diagnostic Tester that will enable
electrical testing and trouble shooting.
