The recall covers about 11,532 RSX lighting units with specified adjustable mounts. Lithonia will arrange repairs by qualified professionals.
Lithonia Lighting is recalling about 11,532 commercial outdoor lighting units because an adjustable mounting arm can break and let a fixture fall, the Consumer Product Safety Commission announced October 22. The company has received 13 reports of broken mountings and four reports of falling fixtures; no injuries were reported.
The affected RSX lights use AASP, AARP, AAWB or AAWSC adjustable arms. These attach the fixtures to square or round poles, walls, or wall brackets with conduit boxes. The recall concerns certain arms made in two periods: August 2019–July 2020 and August 2024–April 2026. Lithonia can confirm whether a particular unit is included.
CPSC directs owners to keep people away from the space beneath affected lights and arrange a free repair through Lithonia. The company will have a qualified professional replace the recalled mount with a complete new adjustable-arm assembly. Its recall telephone line, 855-307-2454, operates weekdays from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Eastern.
Distributors nationwide, including Turtle & Hughes and Consolidated Electrical Distributors, sold the lighting for commercial outdoor installations between August 2019 and August 2026. Prices ranged from $400 to $2,200. Atlanta-based Lithonia manufactured the products in the United States and Mexico. The CPSC notice is recall 27-041.
What it means
The remedy addresses the mounting hardware that supports a light overhead. For a property operator, identifying the arm and confirming coverage with Lithonia come before arranging the professional replacement. The notice gives two manufacturing windows, so an RSX model name alone does not establish that a light is affected; it provides no date by which every repair will be finished.
