The following three visibility factors, important in
any lighting installation, seTve as a useful guide in
selecting the ideal Vanguard luminaire distribution.
These factors are:
After estab-
Iishing the required footcandle level and calculating
the number and type of luminaires required, three
easy steps are necessary to confirm that the Van-
guard luminaire selected in your Iighting calculation
will provide maximum uniformity of illumination jn
the particular installation at work plane. (1) Estab-
lish the "Actual Spacing to Mounting Height Ratio"
above the work plane. This has already been cal-
culated by the footcandle level, the space condi-
tions, the number of luminaires required and the
allowable geometric relationship of these lumin-
aires. (2) Select the type of light source, clear or
phosphor coated lamp. (3) See the Maximum Uni-
formity Table below for recommended distributions.
These distributions are indicated by the letter de-
signations C = Concentrating, M = Medium
Spread, W = - Widespread. By adding the chosen
The shielding of a luminaire is defined
as that angle from horizontal- 90" (directly oppo-
site the lumjnaire) at which direct view of the light
source is cut off. lf the lamp is a clear enveloped
lamp, the Jight source ls the arc tube in the case
of the mercury or Metalarc lamps, or the filament
is the light source in the case of the incandescent.
lf the lamp is a phosphor coated mercury or Metal-
arc lamp or an inside frosted incandescent source,
the light source becomes the phosphor or the
frosted envelope surface. The shielding angles of
various sources in a variety of Vanguard luminaire
distributions are given in the Shielding Angle Chart
on Page 7.
Since the eye is attracted to
the maximum brightness in a visual field, the maxi-
mum brightness of a luminaire reflecting surface,
or the light source, is of greater importance than
is its average brightness. The characteristics of
clear enveloped lamps are such that source bright-
nesses are sometirnes reflected in the clear bottom
of the lamp envelope. Therefore, although the
reflector surface may be of low brightness, at

o distribution classification to the basic luminaire

Prefix (VMA-), the recommended ordering number
may be derived. The Iuminaire recommended for
maximum uniformity may be different from the one
originally selected for the lighting calculation. If a
change in luminaire selection is desired in order to
obtain maximum uniformity, the new coefficient of
utilization should be used and resultant footcandle
level noted.
various viewing angles, the lamp envelope bright-
ness may be apparent in brightness measurements.
Such considerations are shown in the Maximum
Brightness Chart shown on Page 7. These lamp
envelope brightness effects are shown in paren-
theses. The reflector maximurn brightness along with
the luminaire shielding should be considered along
with the choice of luminaire related to its uniform-
ity and distribution classifjcation.

Simplified Assembly
A specially designed support ring (A) can be posltioned and
secured to slandard 3/a" heavy-wall conduit. Ring is threaded
onto conduit and locked into position by a thread destructive
screw. Complete unit is simply llfted and eased into hanging
position. (B) External hook hangers are not required to atiain
o
the advantage of safe, fast installation-
Convenient Wiring
All necessary wires are accessible from ihe isolaied wiring
chamber (C) located at the top of the ballast housing making it
unnecessary to enier ihe ballast compartment for connections.
Once connections are made (D) the lock-on wiring access cover
is pui into place. [E) Lock screws are provided for fixture
orientation.
Built-in Safety Features
The shock resistant, cast aluminum ballast housing (F) serves
as both a suppori and enclosure for ihe ballast and capacitor.
Fixture support i6 not dependent on strength of screws or bolts.
Total fixture weight is disiributed through the aluminum strap
which embraces the entlre ballast compaftment. The ballast
cover plate is easily removed for access to ballast componefts.
Safety cords retain ballast cover pLate during rnaintenance. The
reflector is supported by two heavy duty NEMA style latches,
(G) proven for their dependabiliiy in outdoor lighting applica-
tions.
Versatility of Application
The light distribution pattern for the Vanguard is "built in" the
fixture by means of variations of light-cenier length. The same
reflector can be used in a multiplicity of light distribution varia
tions simplifying installation and malntenance of reflectors.
