FEATURES & SPECIFICATIONS
INTENDED USE
The RSX LED area family is designed to provide a long-lasting, energy-efficient solution for the one-
for-one replacement of existing metal halide or high pressure sodium lighting. The RSX1 delivers 7,000
to 17,000 lumens and is ideal for replacing 70W to 400W HID pole-mounted luminaires in parking lots
and other area lighting applications.
CONSTRUCTION
The RSX LED area luminaire features a rugged die-cast aluminum main body that uses heat-
dissipating fins and flow-through venting to provide optimal thermal management that both
enhances LED performance and extends component life. Integral “no drill” mounting arm allows
the luminaire to be mounted on existing pole drillings, greatly reducing installation labor. The
light engines and housing are sealed against moisture and environmental contaminants to IP66.
The low-profile design results in a low EPA, allowing pole optimization. All mountings are rated for
a 1.5 G vibration load per ANSI C136.31. WITH Vibration rated per ANSI C136.31: 3G Mountings:
SPA, RPA, MA, IS, AASP, and AARP rated for 3G vibration. 1.5G Mountings: WBA, WBASC, AAWB
and AAWSC rated for 1.5G vibration.
FINISH
Exterior parts are protected by a zinc-infused Super Durable TGIC thermoset powder coat finish
that provides superior resistance to corrosion and weathering. A tightly controlled multi-stage
process ensures superior adhesion as well as a minimum finish thickness of 3 mils. The result is a
high-quality finish that is warrantied not to crack or peel.
OPTICS
Precision acrylic refractive lenses are engineered for superior application efficiency, distributing
the light to where it is needed most. Available in short and wide pattern distributions including
Type 2, Type 3, Type 3S, Type 4, Type 4S, Type 5, Type 5S, AFR (Automotive Front Row), and AFR
rotated AFRR90 and ARFL90.
ELECTRICAL
Light engine(s) configurations consist of high-efficacy LEDs mounted on metal-core circuit boards
and aluminum heat sinks to maximize heat dissipation. Light engines are IP66 rated. LED lumen
maintenance is >L92/100,000 hours. CCT’s of 3000K, 4000K and 5000K (minimum 70 CRI) are
available. Class 1 electronic drivers ensure system power factor >90% and THD <20%. Easily
serviceable 10kV surge protection device meets a minimum Category C Low operation (per ANSI/
IEEE C62.41.2).
STANDARD CONTROLS
The RSX LED area luminaire has a wide assortment of control options. Dusk to dawn controls
include MVOLT and 347V button-type photocells and NEMA twist-lock photocell receptacles.
nLIGHT AIR CONTROLS
The RSX LED area luminaire is also available with nLight® AIR for the ultimate in wireless
control. This powerful controls platform provides out-of-the-box basic motion sensing
with photocontrol functionality and is suitable for mounting heights up to 40 feet. No
commissioning is required when using factory default settings that provide basic stand-alone
motion occupancy dimming that is switched on and off with a built-in photocell. See chart
above for motion sensor default out-of-box settings. For more advanced wireless functionality,
such as group dimming, nLight AIR can be commissioned using a smartphone and the easy-to-
use CLAIRITY app. nLight AIR equipped luminaries can be grouped, resulting in motion sensor
and photocell group response without the need for additional equipment. Scheduled dimming
with motion sensor over-ride can be achieved when used with the nLight Eclypse. Additional
information about nLight Air can be found here.
INSTALLATION
Integral “no-drill” mounting arm allows for fast, easy mounting using existing pole drillings.
Select the “SPA” option for square poles and the “RPA” option to mount to round poles. Note,
the RPA mount can also be used for mounting to square poles by omitting the RPA adapter
plate. Select the “MA” option to attach the luminaire to a 2 3/8” horizontal mast arm or the
“IS” option for an adjustable slipfitter that mounts on a 2 3/8” OD tenon. The adjustable
slipfitter has an integral junction box and offers easy installation. Can be tilted up to 90° above
horizontal. Additional mountings are available including a wall bracket, adjustable tilt arm for
direct-to-pole and wall and a surface conduit box for wall mount applications.
