The Lithonia Lighting recall covers about 11,532 commercial RSX outdoor luminaires whose adjustable mounting arms can break and allow the fixtures to fall.
The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission announced the recall Oct. 22 after 13 reports of adjustable tilt arms breaking. Four fixtures reportedly fell. No injuries had been reported when the notice was published.
This is primarily a facility-management issue, not a do-it-yourself household repair. The recalled lights were distributed for commercial outdoor applications, and the remedy calls for a qualified professional to replace the complete adjustable arm assembly.
Which products are in the Lithonia Lighting recall?
The Lithonia Lighting recall involves RSX luminaires fitted with certain AASP, AARP, AAWB or AAWSC adjustable tilt arms. The arm attaches a fixture to a square pole, round pole, wall bracket or a wall bracket with surface-mount conduit.
Covered arm assemblies were manufactured during two periods: August 2019 through July 2020 and August 2024 through April 2026. The fixtures were sold through commercial distributors nationwide, including Turtle & Hughes and Consolidated Electrical Distributors, from August 2019 through August 2026.
Prices ranged from about $400 to $2,200. The fixtures were manufactured in the United States and Mexico. Because not every RSX installation is necessarily included, the CPSC directs owners to contact Lithonia Lighting to confirm coverage.
The official CPSC recall notice includes photographs of each mounting style and the current contact instructions.
Coverage under the Lithonia Lighting recall applies only after the fixture and adjustable arm match the covered details, so records and company confirmation remain important.
What a property manager should do now
Keep pedestrians, employees and vehicles away from the area directly beneath a possibly affected luminaire. A cone or temporary barrier can help control the area, but it does not replace confirmation and repair.
Next, gather purchase, installation and maintenance records. Note the fixture location and photograph the mounting arm from a safe distance. Do not stand beneath the light or climb a pole to obtain a closer image.
Contact Lithonia Lighting at 855-307-2454 between 8 a.m. and 5 p.m. Eastern, Monday through Friday. The company’s website also places recall information under the “Recalls” link near the bottom of the page.
The announced remedy is a free repair. Lithonia Lighting will arrange for a qualified professional to install a new complete adjustable arm assembly. The notice does not tell owners to tighten the joint or replace only a small component themselves.
Where these fixtures may appear
RSX luminaires are used for commercial outdoor lighting. Affected units could be installed around parking areas, building exteriors, loading zones or similar properties. The mounting description matters more than the type of property.
Organizations with several buildings should treat the check as an inventory task. Record which locations were reviewed, which model or arm was found, when the company was contacted and when the repair was completed. That record can prevent one overlooked fixture from remaining in service.
Maintenance teams can use a documented Lithonia Lighting recall review to build a clear list of areas that must remain restricted until professional work is complete.
Include entrances, service yards and seldom-used side lots in that review. A fixture outside the normal walking route can still stand above a delivery or maintenance area.
Tenants or visitors who notice a leaning or damaged light should report it to the property manager and avoid the space below it. They should not touch the pole or attempt an inspection.
A focused response is safer than guessing
This recall does not say that every outdoor LED fixture is unsafe. It identifies RSX luminaires with four adjustable arm types and specified manufacturing windows. Confirmation from the company is the appropriate next step when records are incomplete.

Until the free repair is completed, the most important precaution is the one stated by the CPSC: keep clear of the area directly beneath a potentially recalled fixture.
