PERFORMANCE + VERSATILITY
MAXIMIZE SITE UNIFORMITY
Add sparkle to your site and maximize
pole spacings with sag glass optical
systems offered in both cutoff and
semi-cutoff configurations.
For applications mandating full cutoff,
choose from a complete offering of flat
glass vertical lamp solutions. The vertically
lamped family of optical systems
minimizes light levels directly below
the luminaire while increasing lateral
illumination, maximizing overall site
uniformity. Available in Type III, Area
Round, Area Square, Type IV Automotive
Perimeter and Automotive Front Row [TLL
only] distributions.
OPTICAL VERSATILITY
Never before has a single luminaire
supported this magnitude of optical
choices, touting four [4] distinct families
of optical assemblies, all with compelling
performance. Hydroformed, segmented,
vertical and specialty application optical
systems allow finely tuned site lighting
solutions with unprecedented levels of
uniformity and control.

LEADING SPILL CONTROL
The Spill Light Eliminator [SL] optic is the
industry leader in effective spill light
control, eliminating light beyond one [1]
mounting height behind the pole with no
sacrifice in forward illumination. Used
along site perimeters and property lines,
the Spill Light Eliminator keeps the light
inside and the darkness out.
ROTATIONAL FLEXIBILITY
Maintain uniform site spacing and
fixture orientation with rotatable optical
assemblies. All optics are capable of
rotating in 90° increments allowing for
manipulation of distribution orientation
independent of fixture position.
DARK SKY FRIENDLY
For applications requiring dark sky friendly
solutions, look to full cutoff flat glass
optical assemblies providing focused
illumination with zero uplight and minimal
high angle illumination while retaining
superior uniformity. Available in
hydroformed or segmented Type II, III, IV
V and SL distributions.
OPTICAL SOLUTIONS AS DIVERSE AS THE ENVIRONMENTS THEY ILLUMINATE.
Exterior lighting requirements continue to grow more stringent with added emphasis on light control and system efficiency. Whether the goal of your
site lighting design is safety, general illumination or highlighting prominent features, Talon offers application-specific optical solutions that provide the
highest level of photometric performance and control.
GET NOTICED

QUALITY + DURABILITY
DURABLE CAST CONSTRUCTION
Low-copper alloy die-cast aluminum
construction offers corrosion resistance
while precise tolerance control ensures
tight nesting of the door and housing.
Combining heat extracting reveal channels
with independent optical and electrical
chambers that isolate heat producing
sources, the Talon’s housing design is
both functionally relevant and aesthetically
pleasing.
TOOLLESS ENTRY
Invisibly integrated door retaining latches
allow for a consistent outward aesthetic
while providing maintenance-friendly,
toolless entry into the optical and
electrical chambers. The corrosion-
resistant stainless spring steel latch
and door receiver pin create an audible
engagement confirming secure door
closure and fixture sealing.
RIGID OPTICAL CONSTRUCTION
A commitment to optical research and
precision build quality result in unequaled
levels of performance and repeatability.
A rigid box enclosure shields segmented
optical facets on all sides from performance
degrading damage while each facet bank is
secured to both the top and bottom of the
enclosure providing repeatable facet
orientation relative to light center.
PREMIUM MATERIALS
Superior optical design and a commitment
to premium 95% reflective sheet aluminum
make Talon’s segmented reflector family
the benchmark of optical excellence.
Reflector facets are flat and unobstructed
by rivets or other means of attachment
which may cause streaks or striations in
the light distribution. First class
construction and attention to detail
ensure dependable performance in
every installation.
INGRESS PROTECTION
“IP” stands for Ingress Protection and is a
rating system recognized internationally
as the standard for electrical products
and other related technologies. The two
numbers proceeding the “IP” individually
callout the fixture’s protection rating
against moisture and airborne
particulates. The channel set silicone
gasketing system incorporated in Talon
is IP65 certified. Dust, insects and
moisture simply have no chance of
penetrating the outer enclosure.

CONFIDENCE-INSPIRING QUALITY BEYOND THE SUM OF ITS PARTS.
From the stainless steel hinges to the rugged housing, every detail of the Talon construction is precisely designed with industry leading craftsmanship.
Heavy-wall die-cast aluminum construction, premium TGIC [triglycidyl isocyanurate] polyester powder coat paint and an IP65 rated optical cavity ensure
Talon can endure the harshest environments.
FINISH OPTIONS
McGraw-Edison’s premium polyester powder coatings are enhanced
TGIC based coatings formulated to withstand extended outdoor
exposure. The powders are designed not only to be functional, but
decorative, combining good film appearance with excellent mechanical
and exterior exposure qualities. Formulated with properties similar to
a standard TGIC, the improved weathering characteristics of premium
TGIC result from the integration of a new polyester resin technology.
These coatings consistently display at least twice the gloss retention
of standard TGIC materials in both weatherometer and QUV testing,
making them ideal for outdoor lighting fixtures and poles. Applied to
a nominal 2.5 mil thickness, Talon’s six (6) standard finishes offer
superior protection against fade and wear.

LUMINAIRE CLASSIFICATION
The IESNA’s revised Luminaire Classification System
[TM15-07 revised] creates a new basis of
measurement for site lighting visibility and adjacent
property interaction. This technical memorandum
subdivides the luminaire distribution into smaller
angular zones and subzones to more clearly represent
how much light is emitted at various angles. The values
for each subzone give an indication of the appropriate
use for the luminaire within an application. For dark sky
sensitive areas, the uplight component tells how much
the luminaire will contribute to sky glow.
For applications with strict light trespass regulations,
the back light portion of the distribution helps
determine how much light will reach neighboring
properties. Talon reflector assemblies keep light
on task by contributing as little as 0.0% total upward
illumination and 0.8% total backlight.

NEIGHBORHOOD AND DARK SKY FRIENDLY
National organizations work to educate the general public on best lighting practices in order to minimize light trespass, reduce sky-glow and improve
nighttime visibility through glare reduction. Experts understand the visual system adapts to surrounding ambient conditions, spurring a move from
universal light level recommendations to a set of custom tailored guidelines for each task based on an application’s lighting zone. When surrounding
conditions are dim, lower levels of light are able to be detected more easily. In these environments, high light level applications can be a source of
discomfort and glare. Careful selection and placement of luminaires eliminates glare and creates a comfortable nighttime environment. Talon’s
assortment of specialty light control optical assemblies combined with a wide array of internal or external house-side shields provide the perfect
solution for every application.
