180 Watt LED Street Light | 28800 Lumens | 5000K | 100V-277V | Type 3 | Photocell Optional

Product Overview

This 180 watt LED street light produces 28,800 lumens at 160 lumens per watt with a 5000K color temperature. The fixture replaces 400 to 750 watt metal halide lamps and operates on 100V-277V input at 50-60Hz. CRI is rated at 70+.

The housing is aluminum alloy with a black finish. Optics consist of tempered glass with a polycarbonate lens. Type 3 distribution is standard, with Type 2, 4, and 5 distributions available as options. The fixture measures 27 inches long by 12 inches wide by 6.1 inches high and weighs 19.5 pounds.

Rated lifespan is 131,000 hours at L70. A photocell is available as an optional accessory. The fixture supports 1-10V dimming.

Where This Product Fits Best

This fixture is designed for pole-mounted roadway, parking lot, and area lighting applications. The 28,800 lumen output positions it as a replacement for existing 400 to 750 watt metal halide street lights. Type 3 distribution directs light forward and to the sides, which suits roadway edges and pedestrian pathways where the pole is offset from the primary illumination zone.

The IP66 rating allows installation where the fixture will be exposed to heavy rain, wind-driven water, and dust. The IK09 rating means the housing can withstand moderate physical impact. Surge protection is rated at 5kV line-to-line and 10kV line-to-earth, which addresses common electrical transients encountered in outdoor pole-mounted installations.

EPA is 2.6, which is relevant for wind load calculations when specifying pole size and determining structural adequacy.

Performance and Functional Considerations

At 160 lumens per watt, the fixture delivers high output relative to its power draw. The 100V-277V input range covers standard commercial voltages without requiring external transformers. Color temperature options include 3000K, 4000K, and 5000K, allowing selection based on site requirements or local ordinances.

The 1-10V dimming input allows integration with external dimming controls or lighting management systems where reduced output is needed during low-traffic periods. Distribution types beyond the standard Type 3 include Type 2, Type 4, and Type 5, enabling configuration for different roadway widths and pole placements.

Installation and Long-Term Use

The fixture mounts to poles using the included hardware. At 19.5 pounds and with an EPA of 2.6, pole selection must account for both weight and wind exposure. The aluminum alloy housing resists corrosion in outdoor environments.

The optional photocell enables automatic dusk-to-dawn operation without external timers or controls. The tempered glass and polycarbonate lens combination provides optical clarity while protecting internal components from weather and debris. With a 131,000-hour L70 lifespan, the fixture is intended for long service intervals in continuous outdoor use.

How This Fixture Is Commonly Used

Facilities replacing aging metal halide street lights use this fixture to achieve comparable or improved light levels at significantly lower wattage. The 400 to 750 watt metal halide replacement range gives a frame of reference for output expectations relative to existing infrastructure.

The distribution type selection determines how light spreads from the pole. Type 3 works well when the pole sits at the edge of the area being lit. Type 2 is narrower for walkways, Type 4 projects forward for wider roadways, and Type 5 provides a more circular spread for intersections or open lots. Selecting the appropriate distribution at the time of purchase determines how the fixture performs once installed.

Where dusk-to-dawn operation is needed, the optional photocell eliminates the need for timers or manual switching. The 1-10V dimming input is used when the fixture connects to a centralized lighting control system or when reduced output is desired during specific periods.

Safety, Certifications, and Warranty

This fixture is ETL listed and rebate eligible. The IP66 rating means the fixture is protected against dust ingress and high-pressure water jets. The IK09 rating indicates resistance to 10-joule impacts. Surge protection is rated at 5kV line-to-line and 10kV line-to-earth.

We provide a 5-year warranty on this fixture.
