FX Luminaire Cora CA-73 — High-Output PAR-36 Brass Accent Up Light
Light up large trees, walls, and architectural focal points with fewer fixtures using the
FX Luminaire Cora CA-73. This high-output accent up light is powered by a
sealed-beam PAR-36 Eco LED lamp, delivering more coverage and greater throw than a typical
MR-16 fixture while keeping the clean, corrosion-resistant look of the Cora Collection.
Constructed from select brass with stainless-steel hardware and finished in a durable TGIC
powder coat, the CA-73 is built to outlast demanding coastal and outdoor environments. A
pre-installed hex baffle and 15° angled glare shield keep the beam controlled and glare-free,
and compress-and-lock adjustability offers 9° increments across 220° of vertical aim so
you can dial in the exact accent angle.

Frequently Asked Questions
What lamp does the FX Luminaire CA-73 use?
The Cora CA-73 uses a sealed-beam PAR-36 Eco LED lamp. Choose the E9 (8.5 VA, 640 lumens) or E12
(11.3 VA, 800 lumens) Warm 2700K option, or order it with No Lamp and supply your own PAR-36.
How is the CA-73 different from an MR-16 accent light?
The CA-73’s higher-output PAR-36 lamp throws more light over a wider area than a typical MR-16
fixture, so contractors can illuminate large trees and architectural features with fewer fixtures.
What finishes does the CA-73 come in?
The FX Luminaire CA-73 is offered in Antique Bronze (CA-73-…-AB) and Black (CA-73-…-FB), both
sealed with a durable TGIC powder-coat layer tested to ASTM standards.
Does the CA-73 include a stake and glare control?
Yes. Every CA-73 ships with an LSS ground stake, a lock ring, and a pre-installed hex baffle, plus
a 15° angled glare shield for glare-free accenting.
Can the FX Luminaire CA-73 be dimmed?
Yes — it works with an FX Luminaire Luxor control system (with Luxor CUBE) or a trailing-edge
(reverse phase-cut) dimmer. Consult your transformer specifications for primary dimming.
