Product Overview

We offer a 300 Watt LED Billboard Light designed for high-output illumination of large-format outdoor signage and advertising displays. This fixture delivers 48,000 lumens at 5000K, providing uniform coverage for billboards, monument signs, and roadside signage. Typical mounting heights range from 15 to 40 feet, supporting both new installations and metal halide retrofits.

The fixture is engineered for continuous outdoor use, with a die-cast aluminum housing, polycarbonate lens, and IP65/IK08 ratings for weather and impact resistance. Yoke and slip fitter mounting options support a range of billboard and sign structures.

Core Performance and Output

This 300W LED billboard fixture produces 48,000 lumens at 160 lumens per watt, supporting high-visibility sign lighting in demanding outdoor environments. The fixture is available with Type 3 and Type 5 optics for controlled beam distribution, minimizing spill light and maximizing sign face uniformity. Power factor exceeds 0.92, and THD is below 15% for stable electrical performance.

1-10V dimming is standard, allowing for output adjustment to match site requirements or reduce energy use during off-peak hours. At mounting heights below 15 feet, output may be excessive for smaller signs. Uniformity can be affected at mounting heights above 40 feet or with wide sign faces without proper fixture spacing.

Adjustability and Control Options

The fixture supports both yoke and slip fitter mounting, allowing for precise aiming and secure attachment to billboard catwalks, poles, or sign structures. Type 3 and Type 5 beam options provide flexibility for different sign dimensions and setback distances. A photocell accessory is available for dusk-to-dawn operation.

1-10V dimming enables integration with external controls or building automation systems. The fixture is compatible with standard 100-277V circuits, supporting a range of site electrical conditions.

Longevity and Reliability

L70 rated life is 244,000 hours, supporting long-term operation with minimal maintenance. The fixture includes surge protection (6kV line-line, 10kV line-earth) to withstand electrical disturbances common in outdoor installations. Die-cast aluminum construction and a polycarbonate lens provide resistance to weather, UV, and impact.

Operating temperature range is -22°F to 113°F, suitable for most North American climates. The fixture is ETL and DLC Premium listed, supporting use in regulated environments.

Build Quality and Physical Characteristics

The fixture measures 24.61 inches long, 11.93 inches wide, and 3.22 inches high, with a weight of 16.76 lbs. The bronze-finished die-cast aluminum housing is designed for durability and corrosion resistance. The polycarbonate lens is impact rated to IK08.

IP65 ingress protection ensures resistance to dust and water jets, supporting exposed outdoor mounting. The fixture?s EPA rating is 0.68 (arm mount), suitable for most standard sign structure wind load requirements.

Where This Product Fits Best

This fixture is designed for large-format outdoor sign illumination in commercial and roadside environments. It is commonly used where high-output, uniform lighting is required for visibility and code compliance.

  • billboard lighting
  • sign lighting
  • outdoor advertising lighting
  • monument sign lighting
  • building signage lighting
  • roadside sign lighting
  • pylon sign lighting

Environmental characteristics include full weather exposure, wide temperature range, and resistance to wind, dust, and impact. The fixture is not intended for indoor or low-mount applications due to output level and beam spread.

Installation and Long-Term Use

Yoke and slip fitter mounts support attachment to billboard catwalks, poles, or sign frames. The fixture?s weight and dimensions allow for single-person handling, but secure mounting is required for wind load compliance. Electrical connection is via standard 100-277V circuits; dimming and photocell integration are optional.

Routine maintenance is limited to periodic cleaning of the lens and inspection of mounting hardware. The fixture?s long rated life and surge protection reduce the need for frequent service. Replacement or adjustment may be required if sign face dimensions or mounting heights change.

How This Fixture Is Commonly Used

Fixtures are typically installed at the base or top of billboards, monument signs, or pylon structures, with mounting heights from 15 to 40 feet. Spacing and aiming are determined by sign face width and desired uniformity, with higher output reducing fixture count but increasing the risk of glare if not properly aimed.

Type 3 optics are used for wide, rectangular signs, while Type 5 optics suit square or multi-sided displays. Dimming is applied where variable light levels are needed or to comply with local ordinances. Photocell control is common for dusk-to-dawn operation.

Safety, Certifications, and Warranty

This fixture is ETL listed and DLC Premium qualified. It is rated IP65 for ingress protection and IK08 for impact resistance. Surge protection is built in. The product includes a 5-year warranty covering manufacturing defects and performance.

All certifications and ratings are documented for code compliance and inspection requirements.
