The operating voltage range for this LED luminaire is 6 - 15 volt AC. The Vista electronic driver ensures the LED operates at the intended lumen output
while receiving voltage as low as 6 volts, and as high as 15 VAC, resulting in a balanced lumen output from the rst xture to the last. Eliminating the
dimness issues often attributed to voltage drop.
Note: Operating voltage range for LED luminaries will vary depending on model, style and total number of LEDs. To help determine the operating
voltage range for each Vista luminaire, always consult factory’s specication sheet and/or installation instructions before installation.
