The Classic Bulkhead Form, Done Right

The RAB BULKH20 is the modern version of a classic. It combines the nautical bulkhead form that's been a staple on working waterfronts and coastal properties for decades with modern, field-selectable LED technology, a 100,000-hour lifespan, and RAB's commercial-grade build quality. With the highest output in the Bulkhead family, it is the choice for applications that demand more coverage without sacrificing the classic aesthetic.

• Classic Nautical Form, Commercial-Grade Build: The characteristic cage-over-glass silhouette of the traditional maritime bulkhead fixture, updated with discrete surface-mount LEDs, a durable powder coat finish, and RAB's five-year no-compromise warranty. The look fits architecturally wherever the classic industrial-maritime aesthetic is the right choice.
• Integrated Protective Grill with Glass Lens: The die-cast aluminum grill protects the glass lens from impact — and the glass lens transmits light more efficiently and clearly than the polycarbonate lenses used in cheaper bulkheads, which yellow and crack over time.
• Selectable Wattage and Color Temperature: Field-select 12W, 16W, or 20W and choose 3000K, 4000K, or 5000K at installation — one SKU covers multiple applications without separate orders.
• L70: 100,000-Hour Lamp Life: At roughly twice the lifespan of many lower-cost bulkheads, this fixture means fewer replacements, fewer labor calls, and lower long-term cost — especially meaningful across large numbers of fixtures on commercial or multi-unit properties.
• 0-10V Dimming: Dims to 10% for integration with standard dimming controls — useful for venues that shift between full-brightness operation and ambient settings across different times of day or evening service.
• UL Wet Location Listed: Rated for exposed outdoor installation in rain, salt air, and high-humidity environments. Tested to -40°F for cold-climate applications.
• Integrated Selectable Photocell: Factory-installed dusk-to-dawn photocell operates automatically without external controls or additional wiring, with a selectable on/off switch for manual override.
• 5-Year RAB Warranty: Full manufacturer coverage on light output, driver performance, and paint finish — purchased through ELEDLights as an authorized RAB dealer.

Ideal Applications

1. Larger Waterfront Restaurants & Outdoor Dining: The classic nautical cage form suits marina-adjacent and coastal dining environments naturally — at up to 2,043 lumens, it covers larger covered patio areas and wider dining terraces with ease.
2. Marina & Boatyard Facilities: IP65 and UL wet location ratings handle the salt air, moisture, and impact exposure of working marine environments where fixture appearance and durability both matter.
3. Resort & Hotel Exteriors: Higher output and 0-10V dimming suit hotel entry canopies, porte-cochères, and resort pathways where lighting needs to shift between full brightness and ambient levels across the course of an evening.
4. Primary Commercial Building Entrances: Up to 2,043 lumens handles large entrance canopies and taller mounting positions at main building entries where full coverage and fixture presence both matter.
5. Covered Parking Canopies & Carports: Higher output and photocell automation suit covered parking structures where reliable, hands-off illumination at adequate levels is the primary requirement.
6. Covered Walkways & Breezeways: IP65 and wet location rating handle exposure in covered but not fully enclosed outdoor corridors — 0-10V dimming allows output to dial back during low-traffic periods without a separate control device.
