35 Watt Detention Grade LED Canopy Light | 5000 Lumens | 4000K | 100-277V

Product Overview

The 35 Watt Detention Grade LED Canopy Light is designed for secure environments requiring high vandal resistance and reliable illumination. This fixture delivers 5000 lumens at 4000K, providing uniform, glare-controlled lighting suitable for correctional and detention facilities. The housing is constructed from 20-gauge cold rolled steel with tamper-resistant Torx fasteners and an injection molded polycarbonate drop lens, supporting long-term durability in high-risk areas.

This fixture is intended for surface mounting in secure areas where impact, tampering, and abuse are common concerns. Typical mounting locations include ceilings in holding cells, secure corridors, and psychiatric facilities. The 35W output is a direct replacement for legacy 150W metal halide units, supporting energy reduction and maintenance savings in retrofit or new construction projects.

Core Performance and Output

This fixture produces 5000 lumens at 143 lumens per watt, providing efficient, high-output lighting for secure spaces. The 4000K color temperature delivers neutral white light, supporting visibility and safety in detention and correctional environments. The injection molded polycarbonate drop lens ensures even light distribution and minimizes glare, while the 0-10V dimming capability allows for integration with lighting controls where required.

At lower ceiling heights, the output may be excessive for small holding cells or confined rooms. For larger secure corridors or open dayroom areas, fixture spacing and layout should be coordinated to maintain uniformity and avoid shadowing. The fixture operates on 100-277V input, supporting standard commercial electrical systems.

Adjustability and Control Options

The fixture supports 0-10V dimming for integration with compatible dimming systems or lighting controls. This allows for light level adjustment based on occupancy, time of day, or facility protocols. The optical system is fixed, with no field-adjustable beam or lens options.

There are no onboard sensors or wireless controls included. All control integration must be managed through external systems. The fixture is designed for consistent, tamper-resistant operation in secure environments.

Longevity and Reliability

The fixture is rated for 100,000 hours (L70), supporting long-term operation with minimal maintenance. The solid-state LED platform and robust driver design minimize service requirements in high-security settings where access is restricted.

All components are selected for durability and reliability under continuous use. The polycarbonate lens and steel housing resist impact, tampering, and environmental wear. The fixture is covered by a 5-year warranty.

Build Quality and Physical Characteristics

The housing is fabricated from 20-gauge cold rolled steel, finished in black, bronze, silver, or white. Tamper-resistant Torx fasteners secure the assembly, and the injection molded polycarbonate drop lens provides high impact resistance. The fixture measures 14 inches by 14 inches by 3.92 inches, supporting surface mounting to concrete or masonry ceilings.

All materials are selected for abuse resistance and long-term performance in correctional, detention, and secure psychiatric environments. The fixture is ETL certified and rebate eligible.

Where This Product Fits Best

This fixture is intended for secure environments where vandal resistance, tamper resistance, and reliable illumination are required. It is commonly installed in:

• detention facility lighting
• correctional facility lighting
• secure area lighting
• vandal resistant lighting
• psychiatric facility lighting
• holding cell lighting
• secure corridor lighting
• tamper resistant lighting

The fixture is suitable for indoor secure spaces with standard ceiling heights. It is not intended for exterior use or environments with corrosive exposure. The robust construction supports use in areas with high risk of impact or tampering.

Installation and Long-Term Use

This fixture is designed for surface mounting to solid ceilings using tamper-resistant hardware. The low-profile form factor allows installation in confined or low-clearance spaces. All wiring and connections are accessible from the rear, supporting secure installation in new or retrofit projects.

Routine maintenance is minimized due to the long LED lifespan and durable construction. Access for service is restricted by design, reducing the risk of unauthorized tampering. The fixture is compatible with standard 100-277V electrical systems and 0-10V dimming controls.

How This Fixture Is Commonly Used

Typical mounting heights range from 8 to 12 feet, depending on the size and function of the secure space. Fixtures are spaced to provide uniform coverage in corridors, dayrooms, or holding cells, with layout adjusted based on room dimensions and required light levels.

In larger areas, higher output may reduce fixture count but can increase glare if not properly spaced. For small rooms, output may need to be dimmed to avoid excessive brightness. All installations prioritize tamper resistance and impact durability.

Safety, Certifications, and Warranty

This fixture is ETL certified and meets requirements for rebate eligibility. The housing and lens are designed for maximum impact resistance and tamper resistance in secure environments. All fasteners are Torx type to deter unauthorized access.

The product is covered by a 5-year warranty. All components are selected for safety and reliability in detention, correctional, and secure psychiatric applications.
