A rollformed aluminum flange is hemmed into the bottomproviding support for the reflector module. An internal aluminumcasting provides for mounting of the electrical module and supportfor the housing hinge.Lens Frame Assembly: One piece cast aluminum lens frame isattached to the housing by a zinc plated cold rolled steel hinge witha stainless steel pin. Closure is by self-retained stainless steelscrews; four provided for the 25" and 29" models, three provided forthe 21" model, and a single screw for the 17" model. A zinc platedsteel self-locking stop-arm is provided to hold the lens frame orhousing in the open position while servicing. A F" thick cleartempered sag-glass lens is fully gasketed by a one piece extrudedand vulcanized silicone gasket. Lens is retained in the lens frame byzinc plated steel clips.Arm Mounting: Arm is one piece extruded aluminum with internalbolt guides and fully radiussed top and bottom. Luminaire-to-poleattachment is by internal draw bolts, and includes a pole reinforcingplate with wire strain relief. Arm is circular cut to mate with specifiedround pole.Reflector Module: Specular Alzak ® optical segments are rigidlymounted within a die-cast aluminum enclosure (Spun for VL17) thatattaches to the housing as a one-piece module. Reflectors are fieldrotatable in 90° increments. All sockets are factory prewired with aquick-disconnect plug for the ballast module. Wire penetrations tothe socket are sealed by a silicone gasket to create a totally sealedoptical chamber. The optical segments are positioned so that reflectedlight does not pass through the lamp arc tube. The socket is heldin a heat sink die-cast segment and fastened to amulti-position plate set at the factory for “Wide” or “Medium” beamspread. The beam spread can be adjusted in the field with the simpleremoval of two screws and a turn of the socket brackets.“Narrow” beam reflectors are fixed and non-adjustable. All reflectorsare equipped with a mogul base socket rated 4KV or 5KV (750& 1000 watt). All optical systems are interchangeable within the housing.400, 750, and 1000 watt vertical lamps utilizes a lamp vibrationstabilizer that braces the neck of the lamp with two-prong stainlesssteel clamp extending from the socket mount.Electrical Module: All electrical components are UL and CSArecognized, mounted on a single plate and factory prewired withquick-disconnect plugs. Module attaches inside housing usingkeyhole slots. All ballasts are high power factor with startingtemperatures of -40°F. for HPS and -20°F. for MH lamp modes.Finish: Super TGIC thermoset polyester powder coat paint, 2.5 milnominal thickness, applied over a chromate conversion coating;5000 hour salt spray test endurance rating. Standard colors areBlack, Dark Bronze, Light Gray, Platinum Silver, or White. Customcolors are available and subject to additional charges, minimumquantities and longer lead times.
