Delivering up to 83 lumens per Watt and 70% lumen maintenance over 100,000 hours, the new StreetSense fitting leverages Dialight’s own proprietary integrated driver to maximize performance and thermal management within a compact and lightweight housing. With instant-on ability and a power factor greater than 0.90, the new streetlight features a rugged, die cast aluminum housing with Ex nA protection method and a 6mm tempered glass lens. The high-output StreetSense fitting operates at 100-277V to provide a superior quality, neutral white light with a CRI of 70 and 4,300K CCT.
