40 Watt Hybrid Solar Area Light | 8000 Lumens | 4000K | 120-277V | High Performance | 5 Year Warranty

Product Overview

This 40 watt hybrid solar area light delivers 8000 lumens at 4000K with a Type 3 distribution pattern. The fixture operates at 200 lumens per watt and serves as a direct replacement for 250 watt metal halide area lights.

The hybrid design accepts 100-277V line voltage while incorporating a monocrystalline solar panel for supplemental charging. The aluminum alloy housing supports a slip fitter mount and includes an integrated motion sensor. Total fixture weight is 36.4 lbs with dimensions of 48.2 x 16.6 x 10 inches.

Rated lifespan is 100,000 hours at L70. The fixture carries a 5-year warranty with a separate 3-year warranty on the battery.

Where This Product Fits Best

The Type 3 beam angle directs light in a forward-throw pattern suited for roadways, pathways, and perimeter lighting where illumination needs to extend outward from the pole rather than directly below it. This distribution works well along building edges, parking lot drive aisles, and walkways.

With an EPA rating of 1.8, pole and foundation loading calculations should account for wind resistance. The IP65 rating allows installation in locations exposed to rain, dust, and washdown spray. The hybrid power configuration provides operational flexibility in areas where consistent grid power may be supplemented by solar input.

At 8000 lumens, this fixture addresses area lighting applications currently served by 250 watt metal halide poles. The 4000K color temperature provides a neutral white light appropriate for general outdoor visibility.

Performance and Functional Considerations

The 200 lumens per watt efficacy delivers 8000 lumens from a 40 watt draw when operating on line voltage. CRI is rated at 70+, which is standard for outdoor area and roadway applications where color rendering is secondary to visibility.

Polycarbonate optics shape the Type 3 distribution. The monocrystalline solar panel is integrated into the housing and contributes to battery charging during daylight hours. Voltage compatibility spans 100V through 277V for line-powered operation.

The fixture does not support dimming through external controls. A motion sensor is included as part of the fixture assembly.

Installation and Long-Term Use

The slip fitter mount accepts standard round poles and allows for aiming adjustment during installation. At 36.4 lbs and nearly four feet in length, the fixture requires appropriate lift equipment or personnel positioning for pole-top installation.

IP65 construction protects internal components from dust ingress and water jets, supporting long-term outdoor exposure without enclosure degradation. The aluminum alloy housing resists corrosion in typical exterior environments.

The 100,000-hour rated lifespan at L70 establishes expected lumen maintenance over extended operation. Battery replacement may be required within the 3-year battery warranty period depending on charge cycles and environmental conditions.

How This Fixture Is Commonly Used

Once installed, this fixture operates as a standard area light with the added capability of solar-assisted battery backup. The hybrid design means the fixture draws from line voltage when available while the solar panel maintains battery charge for periods of grid interruption or supplemental operation.

The motion sensor provides occupancy-based response after installation. Day-to-day operation does not require manual intervention under normal conditions. The Type 3 forward-throw pattern lights roadways and pathways from pole-mounted positions without significant backlight or uplight waste.

Facilities typically deploy this fixture along perimeter fencing, employee walkways, loading dock approaches, and secondary parking areas where 250 watt metal halide poles are being replaced.

Safety, Certifications, and Warranty

The fixture is IP65 rated. It can withstand dust exposure and direct water jets from any direction without internal damage.

LED Lighting Supply provides a 5-year warranty on the fixture and a 3-year warranty on the battery. Warranty terms apply to manufacturing defects and premature component failure under normal operating conditions.
