Overview

The Woodhead Wire Frame Guard Cover (SKU: 50-8578) provides essential protection for 400W Metal Halide High Bay Lighting systems. Constructed from heavy-duty 10-gauge plated wire, this guard is designed to prevent damage from dust, debris, and accidental impacts in industrial and commercial settings. It features an integrated Type O lamp and mogul socket, ensuring compliance with NEC 2005 and ANSI C78.387 standards for job site safety by preventing the use of unprotected lamps. This makes it ideal for temporary lighting in construction, manufacturing, and warehousing. The guard supports quad-tap ballast configurations (120V/208V/240V/277V, 60 Hz) and includes a NEMA 5-15 plug with an 18/3 SJTW cordset (3' long). Knock-outs on the wiring compartment allow for easy feed-through connections. Suitable for damp locations, it offers corrosion resistance due to its zinc-plated finish. Installation is simplified with a spring-loaded hook and molded cordset. UL File No. E174253.
