Technical Description
Luminaire Construction—Ultra★Sport floodlight’s optical reflectors and electrical components are enclosed and protected in integral, but thermally isolated, heavy-duty aluminum housings.
Rear Reflector Housing—The Rear/Primary reflector is housed in a non-corrosive high pressure die-cast aluminum cover hinged to the main housing ring and held shut by four corrosion resistant fasteners. High temperature gaskets completely seal the rear reflector housing to the main housing.
Rear Re-Lamping—The rear reflector cover serves an access door to the optical and provides no-tool entry for re-lamping and maintenance without any adjustment to the aiming of the floodlight. The cover hinges open 90 degrees where it is physically stopped.
For safety, a lamp power disconnect circuit removes power to the lamp when the rear access door is opened.
Front Reflector Housing—The 20-inch (508mm) Front/
Secondary aluminum reflector is enclosed in a heavy-duty spun aluminum casing. The front tempered door glass is 1/8-inch (3.2mm) thick and is permanently sealed and gasketed to the casing. A high temperature gasket seals the front optical.
Hydro✭GardTM Filtered Optics—The entire optical is sealed, so that all thermal air transfer moves through an advanced filtering system with particle trapping, chemical absorbing and moisture controlling properties—critical for unjacketed metal halide lamp life and optimum optical performance.
Main Power Train Housing—The main housing is made of lightweight high-pressuredie-cast aluminum and is integral to the entire system.
The main housing design isolates the upper optical ring from the lower electrical compartment for excellent thermal transfer.
The lower compartment contains all electrical components
including the optional hot restart components, in a compact low wind load design.
Unlike other sports lighting fixtures that offer hot restart, the Ultra★Sport does not require any external add on modules or transformers that attach to the standard unit or protrude into the reflector and reduce photometric performance. All hot restart components mount inside the standard housing, so both the standard and hot restart units have the same external appearance and performance.
