PEACHTREE CITY, Ga.- Power management company Eaton today announced the introduction of the Lumark Caretaker™ light-emitting diode (LED) Area Luminaire from its Cooper Lighting Division. Utilizing high-efficiency LED technology with precision-molded optics, the Caretaker luminaire provides exceptional performance, offering greater than 85 percent in annual energy and maintenance savings compared to traditional high intensity discharge (HID) products. With its rugged construction and versatile mounting options, the Caretaker luminaire is ideal for area and dusk-to-dawn security lighting applications.

“The Lumark Caretaker luminaire not only delivers exceptional light output, but serves as a versatile, low-cost, low maintenance solution our customers demand for a wide range of security lighting applications,” said Mark Eubanks, president of Eaton’s Cooper Lighting Division. “Its LED optics deliver a wide, uniform distribution with excellent vertical illumination for maximum light coverage and years of worry-free illumination.”

Designed to replace up to 175-watt high intensity discharge (HID) fixtures, the Lumark Caretaker consumes only 50 watts while delivering more than 5,200 powerful lumens. Not only does this offer ample lighting, it also allows more than 85 percent in annual energy and maintenance savings. With lumen maintenance greater than 84 percent at 36,000 hours, the Caretaker luminaire is virtually maintenance-free for over 15 years.

The Caretaker luminaire also includes a versatile universal mounting design that allows for quick and easy installation in a single step, while a hinged power tray door and a single, captive screw allows for safe and easy access when making electrical connections. As a wall-mounted or pole-mounted security lighting solution, it can satisfy security needs for residential street lighting, perimeter area lighting and safety lighting for parking areas, loading platforms, boat docks, access drives or pathways.

The Caretaker fixture is 3G vibration rated and can withstand tough weather conditions with the heavy-duty die-cast, aluminum housing. The LED module compartment is rated for Ingress Protection 66. The fixture is wet location listed in operation ranging from applications from minus 40 to 40 degrees Celsius ensuring continued performance in extreme weather.
