The CSC LED FL-TYPE-IV-XL is a dedicated optical lens accessory engineered for the FL05 flood light platform at 450W. Type IV optics are characterized by their wide, asymmetric beam pattern that distributes light primarily forward and laterally — ideal for perimeter mounting on poles or walls where the luminaire faces inward across a large open space. This distribution pattern is widely specified in North American photometric standards for roadway, parking, and area lighting applications.
When specifying large-scale outdoor lighting, beam control is as critical as raw lumen output. The Type IV optical insert transforms the FL05 450W flood light into a precision area-lighting tool, shaping its high lumen output into a controlled, uniform footprint. This reduces the number of fixtures needed to achieve target foot-candle levels, lowers installation costs, and helps meet dark-sky and light-trespass compliance requirements increasingly enforced across Canadian municipalities.
The FL-TYPE-IV-XL optic is built to withstand the same outdoor conditions as the FL05 host fixture — temperature cycling, humidity, and UV exposure — without degrading optical clarity or shifting beam geometry over time. Its robust construction ensures that photometric performance on day one is maintained throughout the fixture's operational lifespan, protecting the integrity of your lighting design and your client's investment.
Installation is straightforward for qualified electrical contractors and lighting professionals. The Type IV optic is designed to mount directly within the FL05 flood light housing, requiring no modifications or additional hardware. This plug-and-play compatibility minimizes installation time on-site and reduces the risk of misalignment that can compromise light distribution performance in the field.
For lighting designers, electrical engineers, and procurement teams working on Canadian commercial, industrial, or municipal outdoor lighting projects, the CSC LED FL-TYPE-IV-XL represents a reliable, specification-grade optical solution. Paired with the FL05 450W platform, it delivers the photometric flexibility needed to meet project requirements across parking structures, sports facilities, distribution centers, and roadway corridor lighting applications.
