300 Watt LED Billboard Light | 48000 Lumens | 10 Year Warranty | 5000K | 100V-277V

Product Overview

This 300 watt LED billboard light delivers 48,000 lumens at 160 lumens per watt, replacing 1000 watt metal halide fixtures. The die-cast aluminum housing features electrophoresis and powder coating for strong anti-corrosion performance. The fixture ships in a dark bronze finish.

Two voltage configurations are available: 100V-277V and 277V-480V. Color temperature options include 4000K and 5000K. The fixture supports 1-10V dimming and offers Type 3 or Type 5 optics through a polycarbonate lens. Mounting options include yoke or slip fitter configurations.

Rated lifespan reaches 244,000 hours at L70. The fixture measures 24.61 inches long by 11.93 inches wide by 3.22 inches high and weighs 16.76 pounds. A photocell is available as an accessory.

Where This Product Fits Best

This fixture is designed for billboard illumination where consistent, high-output lighting is required across large vertical surfaces. The Type 3 optic provides asymmetric distribution suited for offset mounting positions, while the Type 5 optic delivers symmetric coverage for centered mounting scenarios.

The IP65 rating allows installation in outdoor environments exposed to rain, dust, and airborne debris. Operating temperature range spans -22°F to 113°F, supporting installations in cold climates and locations with high summer heat exposure. The 6kV line-to-line and 10kV line-to-earth surge protection addresses electrical transients common in outdoor pole-mounted applications.

Dual voltage range availability accommodates both standard commercial service and higher voltage utility feeds found at some billboard sites.

Performance and Functional Considerations

At 160 lumens per watt, this fixture delivers 48,000 lumens from a 300 watt draw. CRI is rated at 70+, which is standard for billboard and area lighting applications where color accuracy is secondary to output and efficiency.

Power factor exceeds 0.92 with THD under 15%, supporting stable operation on shared electrical circuits. The EPA rating of 0.68 with arm mount affects wind load calculations for pole and structural mounting.

When installing with the lens facing upward, the fixture should be tilted slightly toward the billboard surface to ensure water runoff and prevent pooling on the lens.

Installation and Long-Term Use

The yoke mount allows direct attachment to flat surfaces or custom brackets. The slip fitter option accepts standard 2-3/8 inch tenons for pole-mounted installations. At 16.76 pounds, the fixture weight falls within typical handling limits for single-installer mounting on lifts or scaffolding.

The IK08 impact rating means the housing tolerates moderate mechanical impact from incidental contact during installation or maintenance access. The electrophoresis and powder-coated aluminum construction resists corrosion over extended outdoor exposure, reducing the need for repainting or housing replacement.

With a 244,000-hour L70 lifespan, the fixture is designed for long intervals between replacements. The 10-year warranty covers the full fixture.

How This Fixture Is Commonly Used

Facilities using this fixture typically select between Type 3 and Type 5 optics based on where the fixture will be positioned relative to the billboard face. Type 3 works well when the fixture mounts to one side or at an angle, throwing light across the surface. Type 5 suits centered positions where even distribution in all directions is needed.

The 1-10V dimming input allows connection to external controls for output reduction during low-traffic hours or to meet local lighting ordinances. The optional photocell enables automatic on/off operation based on ambient light levels, eliminating the need for manual switching or external timers.

Sites converting from 1000 watt metal halide benefit from the reduced wattage while maintaining comparable light output. The bronze finish blends with typical outdoor pole and structural finishes used in roadside and commercial signage installations.

Safety, Certifications, and Warranty

This fixture is ETL listed and DLC Premium qualified. The IP65 rating confirms the enclosure is dust-tight and protected against water jets from any direction. The IK08 rating indicates the fixture can withstand impacts equivalent to everyday bumps and minor contact without damage to the housing or lens.

Surge protection is rated at 6kV line-to-line and 10kV line-to-earth. We back this fixture with a 10-year warranty.
