American National Standard for Roadway and Area Lighting Equipment—Elliptically Shaped, Enclosed Side-Mounted Luminaires

ANSI NEMA C136.14-2025 | Status: Active | ID: 100343

This Standard covers dimensional, maintenance, and light distribution features that permit the interchange of enclosed side-mounted luminaires for horizontal-burning high-intensity discharge (HID) lamps, solid-state lighting (LED) sources, and other light sources used in roadway and area lighting equipment. This type of luminaire has traditionally been used for street or roadway lighting and has commonly been referred to as cobrahead-style luminaires.
Historically, HID luminaires covered by this Standard are elliptical in shape with lenses that meet the requirements of ANSI C136.17. Luminaires other than HID may have a different unique shape.
Excluded from this Standard are luminaires having rectilinear and round shapes  covered by ANSI C136.23.
