50 Watt LED Street Light | 8000 Lumens | 5000K | 100V-277V | Type 3 | Photocell Optional

Product Overview

This 50 watt LED street light delivers 8000 lumens at 160 lumens per watt, serving as a direct replacement for 150 watt metal halide fixtures. The fixture operates on 100V-277V input at 50-60Hz and supports 1-10V dimming.

Available color temperatures include 3000K, 4000K, and 5000K, with a CRI of 70+. The standard optic is Type 3, with Type 2, Type 4, and Type 5 distributions available as options. A photocell is available as an optional accessory.

The fixture measures 21 x 10 x 6.1 inches and weighs 12.5 pounds. Housing is aluminum alloy with a black finish. Rated lifespan is 131,000 hours at L70.

Where This Product Fits Best

This fixture is sized for roadway, parking lot, and pathway applications where 150 watt metal halide fixtures are currently installed. The 50 watt output and 8000 lumen delivery suit locations that require moderate light levels without over-lighting adjacent areas.

Type 3 distribution directs light forward and to the sides, which works well for roadway lanes and parking aisles where the fixture is mounted along one edge of the lighted area. Type 2, 4, and 5 optics allow the same fixture to serve narrower walkways or wider open lots.

The IP66 rating allows installation in locations exposed to heavy rain, wind-driven dust, and washdown conditions. The IK09 rating allows the fixture to withstand physical impacts typical of public right-of-way and parking environments.

Performance and Functional Considerations

At 160 lumens per watt, this fixture produces 8000 lumens from 50 watts of input power. That output matches what a 150 watt metal halide delivers when new, before lumen depreciation sets in.

The 1-10V dimming input allows connection to external dimming controls where reduced output is needed during off-peak hours. Voltage compatibility spans 100V through 277V, covering most commercial service voltages without requiring a transformer or voltage-specific fixture selection.

Surge protection is rated at 4kV line-to-line and 6kV line-to-earth, which helps the driver survive voltage spikes from switching events or nearby lightning activity. The EPA rating of 1.6 should be factored into pole wind load calculations.

Installation and Long-Term Use

This fixture mounts directly to a pole using the integrated mounting arm. The aluminum alloy housing and tempered glass lens with polycarbonate cover are built to handle outdoor exposure over the rated 131,000-hour lifespan.

At 12.5 pounds, the fixture is manageable for single-person installation on standard street light poles. The optional photocell enables automatic dusk-to-dawn operation without requiring a separate timer or controller.

IP66 construction seals the fixture against water jets and dust infiltration, which keeps the optics and driver protected in exposed outdoor locations. The IK09 impact rating provides resistance to vandalism and incidental contact from equipment or debris.

How This Fixture Is Commonly Used

Once installed, this fixture operates automatically when paired with the optional photocell, turning on at dusk and off at dawn without user intervention. Facilities that use external lighting controls can connect to the 1-10V dimming input to reduce output during low-traffic periods.

The Type 3 optic throws light forward and laterally, which suits pole-mounted installations along one side of a roadway or parking aisle. When the application calls for a different spread, Type 2, 4, or 5 optics change how light is distributed without changing the fixture itself.

Color temperature selection at 3000K, 4000K, or 5000K allows the installation to match site requirements or municipal standards. Lower temperatures produce warmer light that reduces glare complaints in residential-adjacent areas, while 5000K provides a cooler appearance often used in commercial and industrial lots.

Safety, Certifications, and Warranty

This fixture is ETL listed and rebate eligible. We back this product with a 5-year warranty.

The IP66 rating means the fixture is protected against powerful water jets and complete dust ingress. The IK09 rating means the housing can handle impacts equivalent to a solid strike without lens or housing failure.
