80 Watt Hybrid Solar Area Light | 16000 Lumens | 4000K | 120-277V | High Performance | 5 Year Warranty

Product Overview

This 80 watt hybrid solar area light produces 16,000 lumens at 4000K with a CRI of 70+. The fixture operates at 200 lumens per watt and serves as a direct replacement for 400 watt metal halide systems. Voltage input range is 100V-277V, allowing the fixture to function in hybrid mode using grid power when solar charging is insufficient.

The housing is constructed from aluminum alloy with a monocrystalline solar panel integrated into the assembly. Optics are polycarbonate with a Type 3 distribution pattern. Total fixture dimensions are 55 x 16.6 x 10 inches with a weight of 48 lbs. EPA rating is 1.8.

Where This Product Fits Best

This fixture is designed for outdoor area lighting applications where solar charging can supplement or replace grid power consumption. The Type 3 beam pattern is suited for roadway-adjacent mounting, parking areas, and pathways where light needs to be distributed laterally with minimal backlight. The hybrid design allows continuous operation regardless of solar conditions by drawing from grid power when needed.

IP65 rating allows installation in outdoor environments exposed to rain, dust, and washdown spray. The 1.8 EPA and 48 lb weight require pole and foundation sizing that accounts for wind load in the installed location. Slip fitter mounting accepts standard round poles.

Performance and Functional Considerations

At 16,000 lumens from 80 watts, this fixture delivers 200 lumens per watt. The 4000K color temperature provides neutral white light appropriate for general outdoor visibility. CRI of 70+ is standard for area lighting where color accuracy is not critical.

Rated lifespan is 100,000 hours at L70, meaning the fixture maintains at least 70% of initial lumen output through that period. The monocrystalline solar panel charges the integrated battery system, with grid power available as backup through the 100V-277V input. A motion sensor is included with this fixture.

Installation and Long-Term Use

The slip fitter mount attaches to round poles and allows angle adjustment for aiming. At 55 inches in length and 48 lbs, the fixture requires appropriate lifting and rigging during installation. Wiring for the hybrid grid connection uses the 100V-277V input.

The solar panel is fixed to the housing and must be oriented during installation to maximize exposure based on site latitude and surrounding obstructions. Long-term maintenance is limited to periodic cleaning of the panel surface and lens. The fixture warranty covers 5 years; the battery warranty covers 3 years.

How This Fixture Is Commonly Used

In day-to-day operation, the fixture charges during daylight hours and draws from stored battery power after dark. When battery reserves are depleted or insufficient, the hybrid system switches to grid power automatically. This allows the fixture to remain operational through extended periods of low sunlight without interruption.

The Type 3 distribution throws light forward and to the sides, which works well when the fixture is mounted along the edge of a parking lot, pathway, or access road. Facilities use this configuration to light travel lanes and pedestrian areas without excessive light trespass into adjacent zones.

Safety, Certifications, and Warranty

This fixture is IP65 rated, protecting internal components from dust ingress and water jets from any direction. The aluminum alloy housing and polycarbonate optics withstand outdoor exposure across typical temperature ranges.

We warranty the fixture for 5 years and the battery for 3 years.
