Arieta

AR13 is the general area-lighting platform; AR18 extends the available output for larger sites. AR13-CG ComfortGuide uses an edge-lit optical engine for visual comfort rather than the same optical package as the N-Series. Start with the required illumination and viewing conditions, then compare each model’s own IES file. A higher-output AR18 is not automatically the better choice for a low pedestrian-scale installation.

AR13 and AR18 have a universal pole-mount design intended for retrofit attachment without redrilling, plus a removable power door for service. Existing-pole reuse still depends on the actual bolt pattern, pole condition and load rating. AR13 lists 15.4 lb weight and 0.47 ft² EPA. Compare the selected fixture’s mounting drawing and wind loading, then run the lighting calculation at the existing height and spacing.

The N-Series offers Types 2, 3, 4 and 5, plus Auto Front Row (AFR). AFR targets site-perimeter illumination with reduced backlight; Type 5 serves a different, surrounding coverage pattern. Choose by pole position and area shape, then evaluate minimum illumination and uniformity using the exact output/CCT/optic IES file. Total lumens alone cannot reveal dark areas between poles.

AR13 and AR18 offer an enhanced backlight shield (BLS) and rotated-optic options ORR/ORL. The shield reduces rearward spill; optic orientation changes where useful light lands. Include nearby windows and property boundaries in the calculation with the proposed shield and orientation. The published U0 uplight rating describes light above horizontal; it does not by itself prove acceptable illumination at a neighboring window.

HPS-to-LED Streetlight Conversion: Selection and Retrofit Guide

ComfortGuide spreads light across a larger edge-lit source to support visual comfort in pedestrian settings. Its listed CCTs are 2700K, 3000K and 4000K, with Type II, III and V optics. Warmer CCT does not eliminate glare by itself: source brightness, viewing angle and fixture placement still matter. Compare the CG photometry and a representative viewing condition instead of substituting a standard AR13 IES file.

PCR7 retains the output selector and field connectors; wireless-node dimming is disabled by default until the proper dimming connection is made. PCR7-CR is factory-wired for node dimming and omits the selector; output cannot be raised above the ordered setting. FOC is fixed output. Specify the intended control architecture before ordering: a seven-wire receptacle does not make every configuration immediately ready for wireless dimming.

Example: for remote dimming from installation day, identify the compatible node and factory control-ready configuration in the order. For a later controls retrofit, record the required wiring work and commissioning test. Keep the model-specific control options with the fixture schedule.

No. Arieta PND provides a factory-programmed dimming profile, not power on/off control, and the profile is not field-adjustable. The N-Series sheets limit PND to MV 120–277V. A photocontrol or separate switching control still establishes the operating night. Choose PND for a defined autonomous dimming profile; specify a compatible network-control configuration when remote changes and monitoring are required.

AR N-Series luminaires and ARCG ComfortGuide have different coverage: current North America terms list 10 years for AR and 5 years for ARCG; motion sensors are separately listed at 5 years. MV 120–277V and HV 347–480V are separate voltage choices. The submittal should identify the full order code, control option, matching IES file and applicable written warranty, including any motion-sensor configuration terms.
