Shielding

Fiberglass housing is reinforced

polyester and self-extinguishing
(ASTM-D635-74) plastic of a
permanent pearl gray color. Top of
housing has five embossments (2'
unit), nine embossments (4' unit)
and thirteen embossments (8' unit),
providing mounting flexibility on
uneven surfaces. A watertite hub
for 1/2" conduit entry is provided
at each end of housing (standard)
for continuous feed. Polyurethane
gasketing is formed in the housing
providing a continuous seamless
seal for the diffuser. Six sturdy cam
latches clamp diffuser tightly for
a positive seal between housing,
gasketing and diffuser.

Unit has full metal gear tray

secured by internal fasteners
and tethers providing maximum
protection and rigidity. Ballasts
are CBM/ETL Class P certified
suitable to 70F. (Cold temperature
ballasts are available for less than
0F starting with EHT (T5HO only),
EB/PLUS and ER/PLUS ballasts).
Rotor lock lampholders. Electrical
components and fixture are UL/
CUL listed for Wet Locations.**
IP65 approved with optional IP67
rating (4' only) with 8 latches. NSF
certified.

New contemporary styled lens

clear acrylic w/impact resistant
additives and linear prisms.
DR - Clear low brightness pattern
acrylic with 15% high impact
additive.
DR-100 - Clear low brightness
pattern acrylic with 100% high
impact additive.
Example: VT3-232DR-100.
Mounting

Surface mount fixture using two (2)

galvanized brackets (included per
4' section). Optional chain mount
hanging set or snap-on brackets
are also available.

To accurately predict how luminaires will perform in cold temperatures,

Cooper Lighting individually tested each configuration in the different
ambient environments. The relative light output factor should be
applied as an additional light loss factor component.
