100 Watt Solar Area Light | 20000 Lumens | 4000K | High Performance | 5 Year Warranty

Product Overview

This 100 watt solar area light delivers 20,000 lumens at 4000K with a monocrystalline solar panel integrated into the housing. The fixture operates as a direct replacement for 400 watt metal halide area lights, providing equivalent coverage without connection to the electrical grid.

The aluminum alloy housing measures 60 inches long by 16.61 inches wide by 10 inches high and weighs 53 pounds. A Type 3 beam angle distributes light asymmetrically, typical of roadway and parking area optics. Polycarbonate optics protect the LEDs while maintaining light transmission.

Output efficiency reaches 200 lumens per watt. The fixture includes a motion sensor and mounts via slip fitter to standard round poles.

Where This Product Fits Best

This solar area light is intended for outdoor locations where grid power is unavailable, impractical to install, or cost-prohibitive to extend. Parking lots, pathways, perimeter roads, and remote storage yards are common candidates. The Type 3 distribution pattern is designed for forward-throw applications along linear paths or rectangular coverage zones.

The IP65 rating allows installation in outdoor environments exposed to rain, dust, and washdown conditions. At 53 pounds with an EPA rating of 1.8, pole selection must account for both fixture weight and wind load. The slip fitter accepts standard round tenon mounts.

Performance and Functional Considerations

The 20,000 lumen output at 100 watts represents the fixture''s maximum capacity under full charge. Real-world lumen availability depends on solar charge accumulation, which varies with geographic location, seasonal daylight hours, panel orientation, and shading conditions. This fixture does not connect to grid power and has no backup input.

Color temperature is fixed at 4000K with a CRI above 70. The fixture is non-dimmable. Rated lifespan is 100,000 hours at L70, meaning the LEDs are expected to maintain at least 70 percent of initial output through that duration.

Installation and Long-Term Use

The slip fitter mount attaches to round pole tenons and allows aiming adjustment during installation. At 60 inches in length and 53 pounds, this fixture requires two-person handling during installation. The 1.8 EPA must be factored into pole and foundation engineering, particularly in high-wind zones.

The monocrystalline solar panel is integrated into the top of the housing. Mounting orientation should maximize solar exposure based on site latitude and surrounding obstructions. Panel surface cleaning may be required periodically depending on dust, pollen, or debris accumulation at the site.

How This Fixture Is Commonly Used

Facilities typically deploy this fixture where extending electrical infrastructure would be disruptive or expensive. Remote parking areas, outdoor storage yards, access roads, and perimeter fencing are frequent applications. The Type 3 optic throws light forward and to the sides, making it well-suited for pole-mounted positions along travel paths.

The integrated motion sensor allows the fixture to adjust output based on detected activity. After installation, the fixture operates autonomously based on solar charge and ambient light conditions. No grid connection or manual switching is required for daily operation.

Safety, Certifications, and Warranty

The fixture carries an IP65 rating. It can withstand water jets from any direction and is protected against dust ingress. This rating supports use in exposed outdoor locations subject to rain, irrigation overspray, or pressure washing.

This product is covered by a 5-year warranty from LED Lighting Supply.
