Vector Luminaire Optimum visibility Improved highway safety Outstanding visibility in critical security applications HL-9 /98
Vector Meets AASHTO requirements High vertical illumination Up to : spacing ratios % fewer fixtures required compared to Cobra-heads Ul listed and CSA certified Offset lighting improves safety Unlike conventional cobra-head street lighting, the Vector lighting system poles can be located outside the AASHTO defined Clear Zone, eliminating the need for expensive break-away foundations and guard rails. Fewer poles with locations further from the roadway means fewer obstacles for a motorist to avoid. Improved visibility Visibility is improved when contrast between an object and its background is increased. The unique photometric distribution produced by Vector helps increase the contrast. Direct glare from the luminaire is reduced since the unit is out of the driver s line-ofsight. Economical Vector lighting systems are more economical than conventional lighting systems for a number of reasons: wider spacing between poles means fewer luminaires, poles, lamps and foundations are needed; pole top mounting eliminates expensive arms and reduces the pole cost; set back from the roadway eliminates the need for expensive break-away bases or guard rails; energy cost, relamping cost and maintenance cost are also reduced.
Highway/ raodway Prisons Storage areas Power plants Industrial Security areas Parking lots Rail yards Vector knuckle mount Vector yoke mount Holophane Mission Statement: Application versatility Due to its unique design, Vector produces great visibility to be sure intruders stay out and prisoners stay in. The vertical luminance provided by Vector is ideal for areas to be scrutinized with closed circuit TV. Industrial, storage areas and parking areas also benefit from Vector s good balance of horizontal and vertical illuminance. Easy maintenance The Vector luminaire is designed for quick and easy maintenance throughout the life of the lighting system. With stainless steel door latches, a plug-in starter, and a unitized electrical system, all maintenance from lamp change to ballast replacement is accomplished without any tools. This feature results in significant long-term savings. HOLOPHANE Meets AASHTO requirements The outstanding performance of the Vector system means the illuminanace level AND the uniformity requirements as defined by AASHTO and IES can be easily met.

Photometric Data Isofootcandles Vector The Vector luminaire is equipped with an adjustable socket in order to optimize performance for various application parameters. The narrow, medium, and wide distributions help the lighting designer meet the lighting criteria with the fewest number of luminaires and poles... increasing motorist and maintenance safety, decreasing maintenance, energy, and installation cost. The following curves are based on a mounting height of.9m ('). Contact your Holophane representative or refer to CALA for photometric tests of Vector with other lamps.

Performance Specifications Vector The luminaire shall be Holophane catalog number HLA- for use with a watt lamp. It shall operate in outdoor environments when mounted on poles, parapets, walls and brackets. It shall consist of a die cast aluminum housing, a unitized electrical assembly, and pressed borosilicate prismatic glass refractor enclosed in a cast aluminum door frame. The luminaire shall be UL listed as Suitable for use in Wet Locations and Suitable for use in Ambients of C and CSA certified. A vertical and horizontal adjustable knuckle fitter for mm ("), mm (") or mm (") tenon mount (or a galvanized steel yoke) shall support the housing assembly in such a manner that the luminaire can be easily aimed at any appropriate angle. Two stainless steel door latches shall allow quick, easy, toolfree access to all internal components. The door shall hinge at the top and shall be removable from the housing without the use of tools. The luminaire shall be vibration tested and pass an accelerated fatigue test simulating -g peak acceleration for million cycles. All exposed hardware shall be stainless steel. Copper-free aluminum castings shall be protected against corrosion by alkaline cleaning, zinc phosphate pretreatment, and TGIC polyester powder paint with a minimum dry film thickness of. mils. Electrical assembly: All electrical control components shall be mounted on a unitized assembly which shall be completely removable without tools. Disconnect plugs shall be included with the unitized assembly so no wiring or rewiring will be required for maintenance. A terminal block shall be provided for wiring to the power line. The copper wound ballast shall be manufactured by the luminaire manufacturer and shall operate the watt lamp at line volts with the following operating characteristics: starting current less than operating current; primary lamp extinguishing voltage, volts; operating line current, amps; input wattage, watts; and have its power factor over 9%. It shall operate at a minimum ambient starting temperature of F and shall provide lamp wattage regulation of + % for line voltage of + %. The HPS starter shall be totally encapsulated with a material which electrically and thermally insulates all electronic components from lamp and ballast heat. The encapsulating material shall also provide mechanical protection for all electronic components to prevent damage to the components during installation, maintenance, replacement and general handling. The starter shall be replaceable without tools and shall include an electrical disconnect plug which mates to the appropriate ballast and socket leads. Optical assembly: The optical train shall consist of a prismatic pressed borosilicate glass refractor with smooth outer surface and a formed anodized aluminum reflector. It shall produce an IES Type, (II, III or IV),, (short, medium or long), non-cutoff distribution based on a / mounting height offset reference line. The nickel plated, lamp grip, porcelain enclosed, pulse rated socket shall prevent undue lamp vibration and backout. The socket shall be field adjustable to produce a narrow, medium, and wide lighting pattern (across roadway). ANSI lamp label: A self adhesive label shall be provided which identifies the lamp type and size. The label characteristics shall meet ANSI C standard. UL listed: The luminaire shall be UL listed Suitable for Wet Locations at C. Warranty: The electrical assembly shall be fully warranted for a period of five () years and the remainder of the luminaire shall be warranted for a period of two () years. Electrical characteristics: For complete electrical data, see tables of electrical characteristics in Holophane Ballast Handbook, publication HL-. The physical properties of the Holophane Vector luminaires represent typical average values obtained in accordance with accepted test methods and are subject to normal manufacturing variations. They are supplied as a technical service and are subject to change without notice. Check your local Holophane sales representative to assure current information.
