SUPRA-LYTE
THE ULTIMATE OUTDOOR
AREA LUMINAIRESUPRA-LYTE from
WIDE.-LITE:
NEW ADVANCED DESIGN
FOR TODAY'S:
PERFORMANCE NEEDS
With today’s high energy costs, its
‘more important than ever to specify
energy efficient systems for area light-
ing designs. The new Supra-Lyte lu-
rminaire from Wide-Lite is the perfect
choice for parking, roadway, and area
lighting tasks, with no compromise in
appearance or performance.
The lighting experts at Wide-Lite uti
lized advanced materials and technol-
‘gies to design the SupraLyte. The
result is a longsife luminaire that
Provides maximum performance, effi-
ciency, durability, and ease of installa-
tion and maintenance.
FUNCTIONAL STYLING
‘The SuprarLyte housing features a
‘square shape with smooth, rounded
Contours and a dark bronze finish to
blend with the architectural environ-
ment. To coordinate with other color
schemes, optional black, silver and
white finishes are available,
‘The contemporary housing is as func-
tional as itis styish. The square
shape optimizes the distribution of a
square Type V pattern with no waste-
ful light overlap. And, unlike most
Type V luminaires, the SupraLyte has
no structural arms or supports to de~
tract from its appearance or cast
shadows. The ballast is located in an
integral ballastimastitter assembly
away from the lamp heat. This design
assures cooler operation and longer
life forthe ballast components, and
easier installation of the lightweight
Optical housing
Perfect for new construction or retrofit,
projects, the Supra-Lyte features a
Universal fitter for mounting to round
tapered poles and 6” and 6” square
poles with tenons.
HIGH EFFICIENCY
Supra-Lyte offers both initial and lite-
‘cycle cost savings over typical post
top luminaires. First, only one Type V
luminaire, with its efficient square dis-
tribution pattem, is required per pole.
‘Secondly, the Supra-Lyte uses an ex-
tra large reflector and vertical lamp
configuration to achieve maximum
peak intensities for HID light sources.
‘The optics are so effective that a 250
watt HPS lamp can produce the same
peak intensities as a 400 watt HPS
amp in typical luminaires.
Substantial energy savings can be
achieved when Supra-Lyte is ordered
with the optional Bi-Level switching
system. During off-peak hours, Iumi-
naires can be switched to provide low
level illumination and reduce operat-
ing costs up to 75%,
UNIQUE DUAL LAMP.
‘SUPRA-LYTE
For areas requiring higher lant eves,
a dual lamp SuprarLyte is available.
‘The dual 400 watt HPS (800 watts
total) SuprasLyve produces similar ilu-
‘mination with greater eneray effi
Glenoy than a single 1000 watt
luminaire. Dual lamp models are avail-
able for both HPS and metal halide
and offer the advantage of switching
ctf one lamp for lawer level illumina-
tion while retaining the uniform Type V
pattern.
NON-METALLIC
DESIGN
Supra-Lyte has an exclusive light-
weight non-metallic optical housing. Its
construction features heat and impact
resistant thermoformed acrylic with an
‘opaque upperhalf and crystal clear, UV
stabilized non-yellowing lens.
GLARE CONTROL
‘Supra-Lyte provides maximum inten-
sity between 68 and 70 degrees, and
meets |,E.S. roadway cut-off criteria,
{or glare control. For “no-trespass"
illumination near adjacent property,
land for perimeter and roadway appi-
‘ations, Supra-Lyte is also available in
a roadway version with a house-side
shield and asymmetric distribution.SUPERIOR
PERFORMANCE
OPTIMUM SQUARE
LIGHT PATTERN
Because parking areas and pole
spacings are often rectangular, a
square, rather than circular, ilumina-
tion patter is ideal. The square pat-
tem allows minimum waste from
pattern overlap.
Supra-Lyte is designed to provide the
‘Optimum square, Type V light pattern,
For pole locations near the edges of
the area to be illuminated, Supra-Lyte
is available in a roadway version to
provide an asymmetric, hall-square
pattern.
FEWER FIXTURES,
FEWER POLES
‘The Supra-Lyte optics are engineered
to maximize light at the peak beam
angle. This allows more light to be dis
tributed across the surface area rather
than near the pole. Supra-Lyte pro-
vides maximum intensity near a cut-
off of 70°, and meets LES. roadway
cutoff requirements for glare control
‘A small amount of light is provided
‘near 80” to reach to the next pole and
illuminate people and vehicles from at
least two sides. The result is smooth,
Uniform illumination without hot spots,
near the poles, or excessive glare or
shadows,
Because Supra-Lyte offers better
Control of light intensity and distr-
bution, it affords an excellent spacing-
to-mounting-height ratio of to 6
‘mounting heights, That means fewer
ppoles or lower mounting heights are
needed to effectively light an area, so
visual clutter and overall expenses are
reduced.
COSTS SAVINGS
Supra-Lyte offers exceptional equip-
‘ment and energy cost savings com-
Paared to typical post top luminaires,
‘Only one luminaire is required per
pole, and Supra-Lyte's high efficiency
reduces the number of luminaires and
oles required per application. In addi-
tion, the unique ballast/mastfiter as-
sembly saves on pole equipment costs
by reducing pole height requirements
by approximately 2 feet per pole.
Supra-Lyte's superior performance
provides substantial energy savings.
For example, in parking areas requir

ing 0.5 footcandles minimum at any
point, 250 watt HPS Supra-Lyte lumi-
hires can be used with the same
poole spacing as typical 400 watt iumi-
naires. This results in an energy sav-
ings of $86 per luminaire per year,
based on 10 hour per day operation
and 10¢ per KWH energy cost. For
the same application, dual lamp 400
watt HPS (800 watts total) Supra-
Lytes offer the same pole spacing as
‘most 1000 watt post-top luminaires.
Energy savings amount to $70 per lu-
mminaite per year. Ifthe dual lamp Su-
pra-Lytes are switched down to one
lamp for 6 hours per evening, energy
savings would be $160 per luminaire
per year, compared to the operation of
41000 watt equipment.
BL-LEVEL CONTROL
Wido-Lite's Bi-Level HID Switching is
a two level lighting control system de-
‘signed for applications where low
level illumination can be used to save
energy when full lighting levels are not
needed. Bi-Level is available as an
‘option for all Supra-Lyte single lamp
luminaires. In applications such as
Parking lots, Bi-Level switching can
provide up to a 75% savings in ener
Use over a standard lighting system.
‘Supra-Lyte luminaires with Bi-Level
‘Switching provide a state-of-the-art
integrated lighting system offering con-
trol flexibility and maximum energy
savings. Typically, the cost of a Bi-
Level system is paid back through
energy savings within the 3-year Wide-
Lite warranty period. Contact the fac-

OPTICAL HOUSING
Supra-Lyte has an exclusive light-
‘weight, non-metallic optical housing
{or longer life and easier installation,
Its constructed from heat and impact
resistant thermoformed acrylic. The
‘opaque upper half is finished in a UV
resistant dark bronze acrylic enamel
undercoat and clear, semi-gloss top
oat. The lens is crystal clear, UV-
slabilized, non-yellowing and impact,
resistant acrylic.
Supra-Lyte uses a vertical lens design
to maximize light transmission and re-
duce dirt depreciation factors. Hori-
onial lenses reflect a substantial
‘amount of light back into the Iumi-
naire, and tend to collect dirt and bugs
easily. A vertical lens allows a maxi-
mum amount of light to be transmitted
at the beam angle, and is more re-
sistant to dirt accumulation.
@VERTICAL LAMP.
DESIGN FOR BETTER
LIGHT DISTRIBUTION
‘Supra-Lyte uses the inherent pho-
tometric advantages of a vertical HID
amp for better light distribution. Typi-
cal HID lamps radiate far more light.
from the sides of the arc tube rather
than from the ends. When horizontal
lamps are used in parking applications,
too much light is directed straight
down, causing excessive light near the
pole. Vertical lamps put ttle light
straight down and allow maximum light
to be reflected in the beam peak.
@EXTRA LARGE, HIGH-
EFFICIENCY PRIMARY
PATH REFLECTOR
‘The large, high efficiency reflector
system, made possible by the ab-
‘sence of the ballast in the optical
housing, provides better control of
Jong HID arc tubes. Most of the light is
reflected only once, achieving supe-
‘ior “primary path” efficiency. The
Supra-Lyte reflector is 50 effective
that a 250 watt HPS lamp is capable
of producing the same peak inten-
sities as a 400 watt lamp in other
luminaires
@UNITIZED BALLAST
PACK OFFERS COOLER
OPERATION, LONGER
COMPONENT LIFE
in most post top luminaires, the bal-
last is located in the same housing as
the optical assembly. This arrange-
‘ment substantially increases mechani-
cal stresses on the support structure,
and allows lamp heat to affect the bal
last components. In the Supra-Lyte
luminaire the ballast is located below
the lamp in a unique enciosure that
serves as both a ballast housing and
a universal mastfitter. The ballast as-
sembly operates at cooler tempera-
tures, reducing heat problems and
extending the life of the components.
‘The clean lines of the enclosure pro-
vide a smooth transition from lumi-
naire to pole, without distracting
support arms. A full length access
door allows for easy wiring and
‘maintenance of all ballast compo-
‘nents, without the need to open the
luminaire.
UNIVERSAL FITTER
FOR NEW OR RETROFIT
INSTALLATIONS
‘The heavy-duty 6 inch by 4 inch 0.0.
cast aluminum masttiter is sized to
hhandle high winds and vibration. A
true vertical set is afforded by four re-
cessed set scrows
‘The Supra-Lyte fitter is ideal for new
or retrofit applications. I's designed to
‘mount to tenons on 5" or 6” square
oles or round tapered poles. Supra-
Lyte luminaires may also be mounted
Jn tandem and wall mounted, with p-
Propriate accessory brackets,
FASTER INSTALLATION,
EASIER MAINTENANCE
‘The lightweight Supra-Lyte optical
housing and unitized ballast pack re-
‘duce labor costs with rapid, simple in-
stallion. The relamp door, held in
place with two spring-loaded fasteners
‘and a high temperature teflon hinge,
allows for easy relamping. The ballast
access door is easily remioved by
loosening one captive fastener, and
wiring is simpitfied with a lamp/ballast
‘quick-connector.
QUALITY TESTED
AND BACKED BY A 3-YEAR
WARRANTY
‘To assure quality and reliabilty, the
complete Supra-Lyte assembly is
wind-tested to 130 mph. It's also
tested for resistance to vibration, im-
pact, and metal halide lamp explosion,
and it's UL. listed,
Supra-Lyte is engineered and built to
‘Wide-Lite's traditional high standards.

GUIDE
Typical Type V cut-off luminaires
produce a “tear-drop” type of pho-
fometric distribution. This type of pat-
tern is designed to reduce glare and
‘excessive spil ight on adjacent prop-
erty. The Supra-Lyte is designed to
reduce glare and spill ight as well, but
instead of a “tear-drop” pattern, it
[produces a “bat-wing" type of distr-
bution, This creates two important
benefits:
4. Amore uniform lighting installation
can be designed because the hot
spot near the base of the pole is
eliminated.
2, Poles can be spaced further apart
because the light is “punched” to
the normally low illumination points
between the poles.
‘The end-user benefits trom a Supra-
Lyte application with fewer fixture and
ppole equipment requirements and a
more uniform lighting installation, with-
‘out compromising critical minimum
point illuminance criteria.
