DECASHIELD" LUMINAIRE FAMILY

DECASH ELD
LUMINA RE
FAM ILY

Designed for use in decorative streetlighting, mall, park and shopping center applications, General
Electric's Decashield luminaire lamily o{fers the lighting designer three attractive advantages. Combining
greatly reduced glare, architecturally pleasing daytime appearance and photometrics optimized for energy
efficiency and high pressure sodium (HPS) lamps, the family is ideal for nearly any decorative lighting
job. Optimized for HPS but accommodating any of today's high intensrty discharge (HlD) lamps, this distinctive luminaire is the answer to requirements of beauty combined with eff iciency.
The Decashield luminaire fam-

ily is available in 50-through

1O00-watt Lucalox", and 175-

through 1Ooo-watt mercury

and metal-halide systems.

1. Attractive Appearance: A coTrosion

resistant baked bronze finish on a

durab e textured steel housing en
hances the sty ing.
2. Precise Light Control: The optical

system utlllzing a refector wth

ALG LAS '

f n sh [optimized around

HPS lamps) provides maximum

shield ng and cutoff.

3. Clean Optical Assembly: Opiiona
charcoal filtered opiLcal assembly
removes airborne particulate and
gaseous contaminants from the air

entering ihe optical compartment.
