What is the Lithonia DSX2?
The DSX2 is Lithonia's D-Series Size 2 LED area luminaire, a pole-mounted fixture for parking lots and large sites. Our Lithonia DSX2 LED P8 30K Area Luminaire listing describes the DSX2 family as providing up to 60,000 lumens, with 0-10V dimming, an IP66 environmental listing, and a pole mount. The listing also states C-UL-US and DLC listings.
How do I read a DSX2 model string?
Each segment of the catalog number is an ordering code. Decode it with Lithonia's current DSX2 spec sheet before you order. Our listing's handle reads DSX2 LED P? 30K T4M 480 RPA VG DBLXD. In Lithonia's published nomenclature, the codes are generally read as follows:
| Code |
Usually means |

| P8 / P2 |

The title says P8 and the URL says P2. Ask us to confirm the label on the unit before you order. |

We do not decode codes beyond what the listing and the manufacturer spec sheet show. If a code matters to your project, contact us and we will read the label on the unit.
What should I check before buying a surplus area light?
Check four things: voltage, mounting, optic and lumen package. Each one has to match your poles, circuits and photometric plan.
- Voltage: the listing gives the family's voltage ratings. The configuration in this listing is coded 480. Wire to the label on the fixture.
- Mounting: RPA indicates a round-pole adaptor. Square poles or arm mounts may need a different adaptor.
- Optic: the distribution type (T4M here) controls where light lands. Swapping optics can change the coverage you get.
- Installation: use a qualified electrician. The Terms state that buyers are responsible for confirming suitability, compatibility and qualified installation.
Is the DSX2 eligible for Buy American Act projects?
The listing states the fixture is USPOM (United States point of manufacture) and "may qualify" for BAA procurement. It also says the end user must verify qualification status with the contracting entity. We make no further claim. Confirm with your contracting officer.
What condition is surplus commercial lighting in?
Condition is stated on each listing. Read it with the photos. The DSX2 listing is listed as new and notes there "might be some minor shipping marks or scuffs." The Jameson tent light kit is new/open box, and the Pelican 9450B system is used. Learn what each term means in Buying Surplus & Open-Box Equipment.
How does shipping work for heavy fixtures?
Shipping is quoted before payment. Parcel-eligible orders see the rate at checkout. Items that need freight handling or measurements go through a freight quote, and you review the exact total before paying. We ship within the U.S., U.S. Territories and APO/FPO/DPO addresses.

Frequently asked questions
What configuration is the Lithonia DSX2 you sell?
The listing title is "Lithonia DSX2 LED P8 30K Area Luminaire", and the product URL encodes T4M, 480, RPA, VG and DBLXD options. The title and URL differ on the lumen package (P8 vs P2), so ask us to confirm the label on the unit before you order.
Is the DSX2 new?
It is listed as new, and the listing notes there might be minor shipping marks or scuffs. Review the photos on the product page.
Can I buy the DSX2 in volume?
Yes. Several hundred units were in stock on October 28, 2026, and the listing invites bulk-pricing requests. Use the contact page for a volume quote.
Do the Energy Focus tubes work with my existing ballast?
No. The listing describes them as single-ended, direct-wire lamps that require unshunted G13 lamp holders, so the ballast is bypassed. Have a qualified electrician do the conversion.
How is shipping calculated for lighting?
Shipping is quoted before payment. Items that need freight handling go through a freight quote, and you approve the exact total before paying. We ship to U.S. addresses, U.S. Territories and APO/FPO/DPO addresses only.
Can I return a fixture?
Return eligibility depends on the listing, the stated condition, the order circumstances and applicable law. Contact support with your order number before sending anything back, and see the Returns page.
