Construction
The housing of the S8 is constructed of heavy duty 20 gauge steel. All fasteners are concealed and maintained with a minimum amount of tolerance to ensure that fixture integrity is maintained. Inner endplates are welded to housing to reinforce the rigidity of the unit. Endcaps are die formed 20 gauge steel and are installed in the field.
Finish
Standard housing finish is powder coat matte white. Other powder coat finishes are available as an option. Endcaps and connectors are finished the same as the housing on all painted parts.
Shielding
The S8 is available with a parabolic louver, acrylic lens, or a white straight blade baffle. Parabolic louvers are constructed of anodized aluminum with either a specular or semi-specular finish. They lift and shift for easy lamp access. A variety of lenses are available and are lay-in type. The white straight blade baffle is constructed of steel and finished with a gloss white finish and also is a lay-in type.
Mounting
The S8 is designed to be installed with cables or stems, surface mounted, or mounted to the wall with a bracket. Endcaps are field installed so the shielding will be continuous in a row application. Aligner brackets are provided. Corners and connectors are available and constructed of heavy-duty steel to assure rigid joints. On 90º corners , T and Cross-T connectors, a bottom mounted cover plate snaps securely in place and provides instant access to corner/connector interior. Adjustable connectors with top access only can be end mounted as filler pans for flexible row lengths (option suffix -AH). When one-lamp or three-lamp symmetric uplight (1U or 3U) units are used a connector box is required between row mounted fixtures. Where patterns or rows are used it is recommended that the factory be provided with a layout diagram.
Labels and Electrical
All fixtures bear appropriate UL labels. Fixtures are pre-wired with electronic ballasts. Available in 120, 277, or 347 volt.
