Field note (open supply query): Tee off box in bottom enclosure looks like 50mm dropping down to 16 and going into swb. Do they loop or are they dedicated feeds? — resolve looped-vs-dedicated feed arrangement on the F-series 50 mm mains before finalising the outgoing design.

4. Condition assessment

Scored per the Condition Scoring & Rating Model (six standards-referenced dimensions, 0–4 on the P-scale). Rating is gated — a single safety/structural P2 breach sets RED regardless of the averaged Index.

Rationale. Rated AMBER (Condition Index 26.3/100). Field condition records structural / enclosure damage and a non-compliant door / working-space clearance (AS/NZS 3000 Cl 2.10).

6. Suitability for the LED works

Suitability for LED worksYES

The new LED floodlight load and driver footprint are materially smaller than the legacy HID gear removed, and the existing 3-phase supply, 16 mm² feed and cabinet isolation are adequate for the new works. This conclusion is universal across the fleet and is independent of condition.
