Area Lighting Simplified, Versatility Delivered

The EAX LED Area Luminaire family provides the best combination of switchable technology including adjustable lumens, switchable color temperature and four-optic SwitchOptics™ providing Type II, III, IV and V distribution patterns; all from a single luminaire. This vast feature-set allows maximum flexibility while managing the lowest possible SKU counts on the shelf or in-field on area lighting projects. 


Dial in the Right Performance

Light exactly the way you need it - tailored to your application. With 5-step adjustable lumens and three switchable color temperatures (3000K, 4000K, 5000K), you can fine tune brightness and appearance right on the spot to match the job. No guesswork, no returns, no go-backs. One luminaire does it all, saving time and money! 

EAX1: 5,000LM / 7,500LM / 10,000LM / 12,500 LM / 16,000LM

EAX2: 18,000LM / 21,000LM / 24,000LM / 27,000 LM / 30,000LM

EAX3: 33,000LM / 36,000LM / 39,000LM / 42,000 LM / 45,000LM


All the Distributions You Need, Built Right in

SwitchOptics™ delivers four distribution patterns from a single EAX luminaire – no lens changes, no custom orders. Just flip the switch to shift seamlessly from wide-area parking coverage to pathway illumination or a perimeter site solution.


Mounting Solutions for Every Project 

EAX offers six different mountings with a variety of labor saving features including "no-drill" mounting arms that fit the majority of existing pole drillings helping save labor, time and money.
