Eureka Series
One SKU, Nine Configurations

The Eureka Series is a commercial-grade washdown vapor tight fixture combining field-adjustable flexibility, high performance, and IP66/NEMA 4X protection. A single SKU covers nine field-adjustable configurations, reducing the number of part numbers a distributor needs to stock for washdown, manufacturing, and agricultural customers.

9 Configurations From One SKU

WATTselect paired with CCTselect gives installers three wattage settings multiplied by three color temperatures: nine field-adjustable configurations from one SKU. A fixture sized for a 4-foot run can be field-set to any of three wattage tiers and any of three color temperatures with two internal dip switches, rather than requiring a distributor to stock nine separate part numbers for the same combinations.

3 wattage settings × 3 color temperatures = 9 configurations

The Eureka platform spans multiple fixture lengths, from 2-foot units delivering roughly 2,700 lumens at their highest wattage setting through 8-foot units capable of exceeding 10,000 lumens. Fixtures are also linkable end-to-end, creating continuous illumination down a long aisle or production line without separate power drops.

How Field-Adjustable Selection Changes the Stocking Conversation

For a distributor, nine configurations from one SKU can simplify the first conversation about a washdown project. The question is no longer only which single wattage and color temperature to put on the shelf. It becomes whether a field-adjustable platform gives the branch a practical range for the applications it serves most often. The three-by-three combination is useful because wattage and color temperature are independent decisions. A project team can set one without being locked into the other.

For a contractor, the same flexibility matters later in the job. Lighting layouts are often finalized before every condition in a facility is visible. A line may include areas with different mounting heights, different surface reflectance, or different task demands. Field selection gives the installer a way to commission the fixture within the supported settings called for by the project, rather than discovering that a fixed-output fixture is no longer the right fit after it arrives.

That does not remove the need for a lighting plan. The selected setting still needs to support the required light levels, the installation conditions, and the project’s electrical and code requirements. The benefit is practical range, not permission to skip the specification process. For a project with a confirmed photometric plan, the selected wattage and color temperature should still be documented as part of the closeout record.

The platform also helps teams compare alternatives more clearly. Instead of treating nine potential combinations as nine different products, the team can discuss one housing, one protection profile, and one adjustment architecture. That makes it easier to separate the questions that are truly site-specific—such as final output setting or visual preference—from the questions that are fundamental to the fixture’s suitability for the environment.

A Practical Selection Workflow

Start with the environment. A washdown area, a manufacturing line, and an agricultural service space may all need durable illumination, but their cleaning routines, mounting conditions, and operating patterns can differ. Confirm the area’s exposure to water, dust, and sanitation before selecting a fixture. For food-processing facilities, confirm the exact cleaning chemicals and procedures against the current data sheet rather than relying on a general description of the application.

Next, confirm the physical layout. Fixture length, run length, mounting approach, and the need for a continuous line all affect the project plan. The Eureka family’s 2-foot through 8-foot range and linkable construction can support a variety of run lengths, but the right configuration depends on the room and the layout. A continuous run should be planned as a system, including its power arrangement, rather than as a collection of isolated fixtures.

Then identify the target light level and color-temperature preference. The WATTselect and CCTselect controls provide the project team with a defined range of settings. Use the planned setting that aligns with the project’s requirements, then record it. The fact that a fixture can be adjusted does not mean every setting is appropriate for every space. A high-output setting may be appropriate for one area of a facility while another portion of the same run may need a different design approach.

Finally, confirm the order and installation details before release. Review the current product information, required listings, mounting accessories, electrical requirements, and warranty language. If a project requires a formal photometric layout, submit the room dimensions, mounting height, target footcandles, and application information to the ALG team. A documented review before release helps the distributor, installer, and end user work from the same intended configuration.

Built for Demanding Environments

Protection against dust and powerful water jets makes the Eureka Series suited to environments where standard fixtures fail. Coverage includes NEMA 4X, IP66 protection, and a seven-year warranty. An integrated aluminum heat sink manages heat dissipation, while the impact-resistant polycarbonate housing with stainless steel latches is UL rated for wet locations.

Ideal Applications

The Eureka Series washdown vapor tight fixture is built for washdown environments, manufacturing facilities, and agricultural settings where dust, moisture, and heavy cleaning cycles are part of daily operations.

Food-processing facilities in particular benefit from the combination of IP66 dust and water resistance with the fixture’s ability to withstand sanitation routines. Confirm chemical compatibility against the data sheet for the exact cleaning chemicals used in a given facility.

In these environments, durability is only one part of a useful specification. The fixture also has to work with the facility’s maintenance routine. A washdown space can be cleaned frequently, and a manufacturing area can operate on long shifts with limited maintenance windows. A fixture that is selected for the actual operating conditions gives a maintenance team a clearer basis for service planning than a fixture chosen only on initial price or nominal output.

The housing and latch details matter because they are part of how a fixture is handled in the field. Impact resistance, wet-location listing, and environmental ratings should be reviewed together rather than treated as interchangeable labels. The current data sheet remains the source for the exact configuration and rating information required for a project. This article is a planning overview, not a replacement for that documentation.

Questions to Carry Into the Submittal Review

Before a project is released, the project team should be able to answer a few simple questions. Which fixture length is called for? Which wattage and color-temperature setting is intended? Is the fixture being used in a single location or as part of a linked run? What environmental exposure does the application create? Which current data-sheet details need to be carried into the submittal package?

Those questions keep the field-adjustable feature in the right place: as a useful tool for a defined installation, not as a vague substitute for project information. They also make the handoff between distributor, contractor, and facility team more direct. When the intended setting and application are clear, the team can commission the fixture with confidence and maintain a record of what was installed.

For teams evaluating the Eureka Series, the next step is a product-specific conversation with the project details in hand. Share the facility type, room dimensions, mounting height, cleaning conditions, desired light levels, and the portion of the run that needs to be illuminated. ALG can then help direct the team to the appropriate current product information and, where needed, a photometric layout request.
