Shat-R-Shield Ironclad GDA | General-Duty Correctional LED Area Light

Purpose: Shat-R-Shield Ironclad® GDA is a low-profile, general-duty LED area fixture for supervised correctional and behavioral-health corridors, lobbies, dayrooms and waiting areas. The manufacturer specifies this family for generally monitored spaces with routine traffic; its rimless housing is intended to reduce opportunities to interfere with the fixture or conceal contraband.

Store-listed SKU / selection: 034GDA27CLNVHPC00000001. The current Security Pro USA listing identifies 34W, 2700K, ceiling mounting, a polycarbonate lens and 120–277VAC. Treat this as the catalog's quoted configuration, not proof that every factory accessory or compliance option is included. Confirm the manufacturer's complete current MPN before procurement.

Where GDA fits

GDA is best evaluated in monitored common areas where a smaller general-duty footprint is appropriate. Higher-security cells and unsupervised rooms can require heavy-duty fixtures such as VR Pro or Linear Pro; use the facility's risk assessment, required tamper/impact rating and installation drawings to select the correct assembly.

Buyer questions

Is GDA intended for maximum-security cells? The manufacturer positions it primarily for monitored common and waiting areas. Specify a more protective fixture where a cell's abuse or tampering risk demands it.

Which wattage and CCT combinations can be ordered? The family lists 34W/42W and multiple color temperatures. Verify the current ordering matrix and the specific SKU on the quotation.

Is it suitable for damp or wet spaces? The manufacturer lists damp/wet options, but buyers should require the selected model's listing and installation conditions before specifying wet use.

Does GDA have emergency lighting? A remote emergency-battery option is listed by the manufacturer; confirm compatibility, code requirements and ordering details with the project team.

What should be included in a government-facility RFQ? Room use, quantity, existing ceiling/substrate conditions, required CCT and delivered lumens, voltage, emergency-lighting needs, applicable sourcing rules, IES data, full MPN and delivery requirements.
