“Build-Your-Own Acorn” Gives Lots Of Options For Decorative Post Top Retrofits

Evluma offers a Build-Your-Own Acorn, a full-fixture, decorative streetlight replacement solution that includes the customer’s choice of acorn globe, finial, and capital fitter. Utilizing the OmniMax LED replacement for HID lamps, this creates an affordable approach to decorative post-top head replacements. The solution is designed for utilities, municipalities, facilities, and property managers looking to upgrade existing decorative lighting from HID to LED.

The system begins with a mogul base OmniMax screw-based lamp, in 40, 70, or 100W. It’s offered in six different correlated color temperatures (CCT) to achieve the desired look and Spectral Power Distribution (SPD). OmniMax offers three CCT under 3000K: 2000K, 2200K, and 2700K. There is an OmniMax Premium, which includes Photocontrol Failsafe and operates with the ConnectLED wireless control Bluetooth app, or there is the OmiMax Standard. All OmniMax are 120-277VAC.

As a second step, the customer selects the desired capital fitter or base. It can be ordered with or without a photocontrol depending on the electrical configuration of your lights. The fitter is offered in black or green and fits all of the 8” globes offered in Evluma’s OLS collection.

The third step is selecting an optic with prismatic Type V or Type III light distribution, low-glare, diffuse acrylics, or sparkling polycarbonate. The fourth and final step is selecting from two ornate, architecturally styled fixtures. One comes with decorative arms and both come with cap and finial. Depending on the globe selected, uplight blockers and final options are available. There is also a set of snap-on shields for the OmniMax designed to reduce uplight and soften the house-side throw.
