Sentry Electric, one of North America’s most experienced and knowledgeable manufacturers of outdoor lighting, is pleased to announce that eighteen products within the Tulip Series category are now DesignLights™ Consortium (DLC) qualified. Utilities and municipalities whose outdoor lighting programs require DLC qualified products can now look to Sentry as a source for exceptionally performing decorative post top luminaires.

The Sentry Electric product series that contain DLC qualified products are:

• Battery Park Series
• Central Park Series
• Riverside Series
• Hartford Series
• Irvine Series
• Binghamton Series

Sentry’s newly designed web site has a product section devoted to DLC qualified products. This allows the user to quickly identify the products that are DLC qualified, and then expeditiously navigate to the product details to obtain the specifications and ordering information. To qualify for DLC, decorative outdoor luminaires must exceed performance standards for lumen output, efficacy, color rendering, lumen maintenance, and several other factors. DLC qualified products undergo thorough testing and analyses in nationally recognized testing laboratories (NRTLs). The resulting qualification approval by the DLC means that manufacturers’ claims are examined and then substantiated so that the customer can be confident that a highly performing product is being specified and purchased.
