Description
The pendant-style outdoor lighting fixtures were installed by municipalities and developers as subdivision and/or downtown urban streetlights. The lighting fixtures typically appear along sidewalks and smaller avenues. They are made of aluminum and sold in various colors. Some have glass covers. Recalled models include "Cambridge," "Capital," "Coal Miner," Depot," "F-10 Fitter," "F-13 Fitter," "F-21 Fitter," "F-35 Fitter," "Kings Park," "Magna," "Maritas," "Miramar," "Metropolis," "Neptune," "Pierwalk," "Radial Wave" and "Tivoli."
Hazard
The lighting fixtures could fall from their lamp posts due to a problem with the coupling system used to secure them. This poses a risk of injury for persons beneath the lighting fixtures.
Remedy
Persons responsible for maintaining outdoor lighting fixtures or streetlights should immediately cordon off the area underneath each lighting fixture and contact Beacon to receive free retrofit kits. Beacon will also reimburse labor costs up to $50 per lighting fixture.
Incidents and injuries
Beacon Products Inc., has received one reported incident involving an outdoor lighting fixture that fell from its lamp post because its coupling system had failed. No injuries or property damage have been reported.
