Lithonia Lighting Recalls RSX Luminaires with Adjustable Tilt Arm Mountings Due to Risk of Serious Injury from Impact Hazard

Reported by CPSC · October 22 at 12:00 AM · Summary by Wall & Wick

Lithonia Lighting is recalling RSX luminaires with certain adjustable tilt arm mountings, sold in models AASP, AARP, AAWB and AAWSC and made between August 2019 and July 2020 and between August 2024 and April 2026. The knuckle on the mount can fail, letting the fixture fall, and the company has received 13 reports of mounts breaking and four reports of fixtures falling, with no injuries reported.

Background

Light fixtures that mount on poles or walls are typically secured with hinges or knuckles that let the head be angled. If a joint cracks or loosens over time, the fixture can drop without warning, which is why manufacturers sometimes replace the mounting hardware rather than the whole light. Recalls like this usually ask owners to confirm their model and lot range before arranging a free repair by a qualified installer.

Why it matters

Outdoor and exterior lighting is part of the look and safety of a home, and a fixture that can fall is a real hazard to people and cars below.

What you can do

Check whether your RSX fixture has an adjustable tilt arm and falls within the listed model and date ranges, then call Lithonia Lighting to confirm and schedule the free repair. Keep clear of the area directly beneath the fixture until it is fixed.
