Led

Site light for ATM machine for bank has led 208V single phase rating while its being fed from 240/120V panelboard single phase. I believe the service is 240/120V single phase. Anything in code to stop this or is that ok?

Some I've been wiring lately are rated to work on 277, 120 or 208.
What color are the wires on the light?

There is nothing in the code that's going to prevent you from burning up a site light fixture.

Do they make 208/120V single phase panelboards? All I see is 240/120V single phase panelboard.

There is no difference. You would simply use the latter for the former.

Think of the voltage ratings as maximums, as with receptacles, etc.

If the _service_ is 208/120V and you tap 2 legs of it and a neutral for a single phase panel, then you will have 208V l-l at the panelboard. You can use a 120/240 rated panel for this application.

You stated in the first post that the service was 120/240V single phase. In which case you will have 240V l-l at the panel.

If the lamp is rated for 208V only, then you can't use it, you don't have the proper voltage available.

These high bay lights we're installing have brown and purple wires coming out of them. What does that mean ?

OP didnt indicate they were high bay lights. Says ATM bank site light led.

Usually can be used with 0-10 dimmers.

General color code for 0-10v dimming would be Purple and Grey, not Purple and Brown.

Asking what colored wires do without us actually being able to see the ballast or driver drawing is a loaded question that actually cannot be answered that easy.
