5. Driver

The LED luminaire shall employ a constant current driver with the following characteristics:

Input Voltage, 60 Hz 120 - 277 VAC
Power Factor > 0.90
Total Harmonic Distortion (THD) < 20%
Surge Protection 10kV Min.
Dimming 0 - 10VDC

Optional features that may be specified at time of purchase include:

• Field adjustable drive current.

The driver shall comply with the requirements of FCC Title 47 CFR Part 15, Class A.

6. Construction

6.1 Housing

The luminaire housing shall be cast or extruded aluminum. All hardware shall be stainless steel.

6.2 Slipfitter

  • Slipfitter shall be capable of accepting a 1-1/4" through 2" IP pipe tenon (1-5/8" to 2-3/8" OD) with maximum allowable insertion lengths of 7-1/2" and 10" respectively in accordance with Table 2 of ANSI C136.3, latest revision.
  • The slipfitter shall provide a shoulder or stop to limit the depth of insertion of the pipe tenon during installation.
  • The slipfitter shall have provisions for clamping the luminaire securely to the tenon and for leveling ± 5° with respect to horizontal.
  • The slipfitter shall be equipped with a fixed-in-place wildlife guard capable of accepting both 1-1/4" and 2" IP tenons.

6.3 Door

The door shall be easily removable and shall allow for tool-less entry. Door shall be cast or extruded aluminum or UV resistant polycarbonate meeting UL 746C for outdoor usage.

6.4 Finish

Cast housing components shall have a light gray polyester powder coat finish. Extruded components shall be anodized. Finish shall meet the requirements of ANSI C57.31, latest revision.

6.5 Ingress Protection

The luminaire components shall have a minimum moisture ingress ratings as specified in IEC 60529:

Optical Chamber: IP66
Driver: IP42

6.6 Photocell Receptacle

The luminaire shall be provided with a 7 terminal locking type photoelectric control mounting receptacle in accordance with ANSI C136.10 & ANSI C136.41. Photocell receptical dimming contacts shall be factory connected to driver dimming leads (violet & gray) per ANSI C136.41. Photocell receptacle orientation shall be adjustable.

6.7 Terminal & Grounding Block

  • Components shall be pre-wired to the terminal board requiring only supply power connections to clearly identified terminals.
  • The wiring diagram shall be permanent, apparent, legible and affixed inside the luminaire.
  • The terminal board shall be located so that there is adequate accessibility to it for connecting the supply leads when wearing gloves and without the removal or replacement of internal components.
  • The terminal board shall be molded plastic, with protective barriers between each contact and the supply connection point shall have a dead back stop to prevent over-insertion of incoming supply leads.
  • A clearly marked grounding block or connector shall be provided for grounding the noncurrent-carrying parts of the luminaire.

6.8 Backlight Control

An optional backlight control shield shall be available. This shield shall be easily installed or removed in the field.

6.9 Vibration Resistance

Luminaire shall be certified to ANSI C136.31 3G bridge and overpass vibration standards.

7. Marking

7.1 Nameplate

A durable, legible nameplate shall be permanently attached to the inside of the luminaire housing. Nameplate information shall include:

  • Manufacturer's Name
  • Model Number
  • Date of Manufacture
  • Input Voltage

7.2 External Decals

  • The manufacturer shall install a permanently attached District serial number decal on the bottom outside of each luminaire door as indicated in Figure 1. The District will supply these decals to the manufacturer.
  • The manufacture shall install a LED size code decal as indicated in Figure 1. The District will supply these decals to the manufacturer.
  • District numberand size code decals may be rotated 90° counterclockwise if luminaire door size does not accommodate decal placement shown in Figure 1. Alternative decal placements may be acceptable with prior District Approval.

8. Certification and Test Reports

8.1 UL Listing

Luminaire shall be UL listed for use in wet locations and permanently identified as such.

8.2 RoHS

Luminaire shall be RoHS compliant.

8.3 Test Reports

For each approved luminaire the manufacturer shall submit LM-79 and LM-80 test reports and an IES photometric data file. If design changes alter the luminaires' photometrics, then the manufacturer must submit updated test reports and data files for District review.

9. Packaging

Luminaires shall be palletized on 40" x 48" 4-way standard pallets. No more than 50 luminaires shall be placed on a single pallet. Stacks of luminaires, including the pallet, must not exceed a maximum overall height of 52". Each luminaire box shall be marked with the manufacturer's catalog number and date of manufacture.

10. Warranty

The fixture and all of its components shall carry a minimum non-prorated warranty of 10 years from date of delivery.
Any fixture that fails during the warranty period, regardless of which component may have failed, will be returned to the factory for exchange. The replacement unit will carry its own new 10 year warranty from date of delivery.

11. Evaluation of Bids

All responsive bids will be evaluated as follows. For each luminaire MID the approved luminaire with the lowest energy consumption will set the baseline price. The price of all other bidder's luminaires will be adjusted by the difference in their energy consumption and the baseline multiplied by the Districts cost of energy to serve the street light over it's expected service life (currently $4.94/watt). Each luminaire's lumen output will then be divided by its adjusted price to arrive at a cost of light in lumens/$. The bid will be awarded to the luminaire with the lowest cost of light.
