METALARC
15OO WATT
The HIF Series provides a high intensity floodlight lor
sports and general area lighting. Designed around the
highly compact 1500 watt single ended metalarc lamp,
the HIF Series offers complete optical versatility with
excellent color rendition. The highly efficient source
lequal to 4-112 1500 watt incandescent lamps) has a
rated lamp life of 1500 hours with high lumen mainten-
ance (86% at'1500 hours). Precisely engineered reflectors
designed around this source ensure controlled high
efficiency beam spreads.
OPTICAL CONTROL AND FLEXIBILITY
. Precisely engineered optical assemblies Reflector
system for each beam spread individually designed for
optimum beam control and efficiency.
. Variety of distributions - Six distinctive beam
patterns from concentrating narrow beam (28.7o x
25.7"spread)towide flood beam (116" x 1'13"spread)
. High beam efficiencies up to 65.5% in wide flood
design
LONG LIFE CONSTRUCTION
. Gasketed spun-in lens insures tight long lasting seal
to protect Alzak aluminum front and rear reflectors.
1 Heat and impact resistant /ens - capable of with-
standing 90 pounds of pressure per square inch.
. Rugged trunnion mount - galvanized steel trunnion
mounted to heavy duty die cast aluminum rear hous-
ing to provide sturdy mounting.
. Cool operation - Separated wiring chamber with
built-in heat barrier insures maximum wire life.
. Modular ballast housing - 6" separation between
ballast housing and floodlight rear housing assures
proper dissipation of lamp and ballast heat.
. Weatherproof construction - corrosion resistant com-
ponent parts and silicone gasketing insure long life
reliability.
EASE OF INSTALLATION
. Factory wired: Floodlightand modularballasthousing
are factory wired for ease of assembly in field.
. Light weight - floodlight, modular ballast housing,
crossarm adapter and lamp combination weigh only
67 pounds.
. Aiming ease - horizontal degree quadrant on cross-
arm adapter and vertical degree quadrant wilh repo-
sitioning stop on floodlight are supplied for pre-
positioning. A rifle sight is also provided for visual
aiming.
LOW COST MAINTENANCE
. Lamp access - via rear relamping door that is secured
by two stainless steel toolless spring latches.
. Removable Front Reflector Assembly Easily re
movable from the main fixutre body without tools for
cleaning and/or replacement.
. Modular ballast compartment - Accessible by loosen-
ing four captive screws and removing access door on
modu lar ballast housinq.

HIF SPECIFICATIONS
FLOODLIGHT
The floodlight shall be a H lF (insert catalog number) arranged {or a
1500 watt metalarc lamp. The fronl reflector assembly shall be spun
(insert finish) alzak aluminum supplied with a tempered, heat-resis-
rant spun'in lens capable of withstanding 90 pounds of pressure per
square inch. A silicon rubber gasket shall be provided between the
lens 6nd reflector to insure a tight long lasting seal. The rear reflector
shall be {insert tinish) alzak aluminum and mounted into the heavy
duty die-cast aluminum rear housing. The beam spread shall be
(insert b€am spread) with a linsert eff.) efficiency. The heavY duty
rear die-cast alominum housing shall serve as a sturdy mounting for
the qalvanized steet trunnion and have a cast-in vertical degree quad'
rant with repositioning stop. Access to the lamp shall be via the rear
relamping door that is secured by two stainless steel toolless spring
latches. The front reflector assembly shall hinge forward and the
stainless steel hing€ sprlng shall be removable from the floodlight
without tools for cleaning and replacement of the assembly. Gasket-
ing shall be silicone rubber. The die cast aluminum wiring chamber
shall be separated from the housing and localed below the lamp neck
1o insure cool operation and maximum wire life. Factory installed
leads and qroundinq provisions shall be provided.
BALLASTING
The integral ballasts shall be 1500 watt high reactance, high power
factor, lead peaked tvpe, The power factor shall be corrected to at

sha{l be accomplished through auto transformer windings. The ballast
shallbe rated to permit starting of the lamp at 20o Fahrenheit below
zero. Voltage regulation and stabilization together with starting
current regulation shall be a feature of the ballast. Starting currents
and/or "hot" restarting curr€nts shall not exceed operating currents,
Ballast shall be capable of withstanding '10 KV basic impulse level for
lighrninq protection.
The heavy duty cast aluminum modular ballast housing shall be
