Multivolt
The multivolt choice under “Voltage” in Ordering Number Logic
tables means that the customer can make the necessary
connections to operate the luminaire at any one of four voltages
– 120, 208, 240 or 277.
PE Control
A photoelectric (PE) control allows automatic dusk-to-dawn
operation of luminaires. With most luminaires, the “PE ” choice
includes a receptacle only; the PE itself must be ordered
separately. See product pages.
PE Control Kit
Some luminaires do not have provision for photoelectric
receptacles. In that case, there may be a knockout or other
provisionforaeld-installedPEControlKit.ConsultAccessories
Section to determine if kit of appropriate line voltage is available.

the NEMA type (Fig. 1). Beam spread designations are based on
the angle to either side of the aiming point where candlepower
(light output) drops to 10% of its maximum value. Symmetrical

Asymmetrical (non-circular) beam spreads have a horizontal and

EXPLANATION OF OTHER TERMS USED
Mounting Height
Mounting height is generally the distance from the luminaire
to the ground. For pole mounted luminaires, this may not
correspond to pole height, depending on whether the luminaire
is mounted directly on the pole, or on an upsweep arm bracket
that adds to mounting height.
UL Listing
Equipment has passed tests by Underwriters’ Laboratories and is
UL listed (UL 1572 suitable for use in wet locations).
