Outdoor luminaire

The AeroDome with Frontline Optic is designed for frontline automotive sales lot applications. According to the company, it achieves higher footcandle averages, minimums, and improved uniformities when comparing twin 1,000W MH fixtures to twin 1,000W MH conventional shoebox fixtures with two 400W MH fixtures at midpole. In fact, Ruud claims that using 1,000W AeroDome fixtures can reduce the number of fixtures and poles by 50% or more. It also meets IESNA Full Cutoff Classification and is suitable for sites with strict cutoff and uniformity requirements.

Flush mounting device

The Shim-lock flush mounting device fastens onto the screw in the mounting slot of an electrical wiring device or lighting control strap. Once the screw is tightened to the desired depth, the mounting device's tabs lock it in place flush with the wall. One mounting device provides a device adjustment depth range from ⅛ in. to ¾ in. Made of steel with a heat-treated finish and clear zinc chromate plating, it is 0.31 in. in length with a No. 6 screw opening.

Saw blades

Ice Edge reciprocating saw blades feature a bi-metal construction with 8% cobalt, and are flexible to prevent shock, fatigue, and shattering. According to the company, the redesigned blade optimizes metal cutting with precision-ground teeth and a radiused back face that increases tooth strength, resulting in faster cuts and longer life. The positive rake on the cutting edges helps remove chips, and deeper gullets help keep the cut clear and cool to ensure optimal heat resistance.
