Gardco Round Form Ten Brochure - Gardco Lighting

Optical Systems
The segmented Form Ten optical
system is homogenous sheet aluminum,
electro-chemically brightened, anodized,
and sealed. The Form Ten X (4X) optics
utilize 95% reflective material (available
with 22" units only). The segmented
reflectors are set in faceted arc tube image
duplicator patterns to achieve desired
distribution. Hardtop units feature a
hammer-toned specular anodized
aluminum uplight recovery box to direct
lamp lumens out and away from luminaire
base eliminating hot spots. Glowtop units
feature a heat strengthened borosilicate
glass diffuser above lamp to uniformly
illuminate acrylic top section. The mogul
base lampholder is glazed porcelain with a
nickel plated screw shell – all securely
attached to the reflector assembly. 50w
MH, 70w MH and 100w MH units
have medium base lampholders. All 22"
luminaires utilizing horizontally positioned
metal halide lamps feature lamp stabilizers
ensuring precise arc tube positioning.
Electrical
Each high power factor ballast is the separate
component type, capable of providing
reliable lamp starting down to -20°F/-29°C.
Component-to-component wiring within
the luminaire will carry no more than 80%
of rated current and is listed by UL for
use at 600 VAC at 301°F/150°C or higher.
Plug disconnects are listed by UL for
use at 600 VAC, 15A or higher.
Finish
Spun housings are rotationally burnished
before finishing to eliminate spinning
lines and grooves. Hardtop units are
available with Aluminum Association
Installation features of Gardco luminaires assure proper alignment, tight fitting connection between arms, poles and luminaires and secure,
weather-tight seals. Ample space is provided to access and engage mounting hardware. Because luminaires arrive to the jobsite completely
prewired, only the primary feed splice is required to activate the luminaire.

powdercoat Class 1 Architectural Anodized.
