by Brianna Crandall — September 7, 2016 — Power management company Eaton, a 2016 ENERGY STAR Partner of the Year, recently announced the expansion of its Lumark Night Falcon light-emitting diode (LED) Floodlight Luminaire family. With the addition of the Small and Large models available in multiple wattages, the Night Falcon series replaces high-intensity discharge (HID) products of 70 watts to up to 1000 watts that are typically found in outdoor floodlighting applications, while reportedly providing greater than 75 percent in energy and maintenance savings.
Designed for superior performance, versatility, longevity and value, the Night Falcon series provides solutions for a broad range of outdoor floodlighting needs including area, security, façade, architectural landscape, signage and lighting for flag poles and monuments. In addition, the Night Falcon series also offers a range of integrated control options that reduces light levels and power consumption for further energy savings.

Terry Headrick, director of Marketing and Product Management, Eaton’s Lighting Division, said:
Whether the project is lighting a sign, building façade or parking lot, the Night Falcon LED floodlight series satisfies a broad range of outdoor needs for a cohesive look across an entire building campus. This complete LED family combines superior illumination, integrated controls, versatile mounting options and a cost-effective, robust design, while delivering significant energy savings and long-term reliability.
The Night Falcon series utilizes precision-engineered optics to deliver high-grade uniformity and illumination to the targeted application. Maximum fixture spacing is achieved utilizing a wide 6H x 6V NEMA distribution, reducing the number of fixtures required and installation costs in select applications. The fixtures offer lumen packages from nominal 2,900 lumens to more than 33,000 lumens and are available in standard 4000 Kelvin (K) correlated color temperature (CCT), with 3000K, 5000K and 5700K CCT options and in a 70 color rendering index (CRI).
Designed to last 50,000 hours with lumen maintenance of greater than 93 percent, the outdoor floodlighting luminaires incorporate an innovative thermal management design that maximizes heat dissipation, resulting in longer fixture and LED life, says Eaton.
For use in new construction and retrofit applications, Night Falcon LED luminaires are built with the installer in mind. The Night Falcon LED Floodlight series is available in knuckle, slipfitter, and trunnion mounting configurations, providing mounting versatility while simplifying installation. Mounting options include cast-in angle increments to facilitate accuracy of aiming. The products are also available with wire guard and vandal shield accessories to protect the lens from projected objects and visors to control glare and spill light.
The Night Falcon series’ robust design features a heavy-duty, die-cast housing that is IP66 and 3G vibration rated for exceptional durability and long-term reliability, says the company.
For pole-mounted applications, an optional integrated sensor allows the fixtures to be dimmed to 50 percent lumen output when no activity is detected, providing additional energy savings. This option complies with the new provisions of California Title 24. In addition, optional National Electrical Manufacturers Association (NEMA) 3-pin and 7-pin photocontrol receptacles enable wireless dimming when used with compatible photocontrol.
