30 / 50 / 100 Watt LED Decorative Post Top Light | 3600 to 13000 Lumens | 3000K / 4000K / 5000K Adjustable | 100-277V | Optional Photocell

Product Overview

This LED post top fixture is designed for architectural site lighting and decorative outdoor applications. It offers selectable wattage and color temperature, allowing adaptation to a range of site requirements. Typical installations include pedestrian areas, campus walkways, and municipal parks where both performance and appearance are important.

The fixture mounts to standard 3-inch poles and is suitable for replacing 250W or 400W metal halide post tops. It is built for exterior environments where consistent light output, energy efficiency, and long-term reliability are required.

Core Performance and Output

This fixture provides three selectable wattage settings: 30W, 50W, and 100W, delivering 3600, 6000, or 13000 lumens respectively. The output is suitable for mounting heights from 10 to 20 feet, depending on the selected wattage and site requirements. Type 5 distribution delivers uniform 360-degree coverage for open areas and pathways.

Color temperature can be set to 3000K, 4000K, or 5000K. The fixture operates on 100-277V and supports 1-10V dimming. Power factor is greater than 0.90, and total harmonic distortion is less than 20%. Excessive output at low mounting heights may cause glare in pedestrian zones; select wattage accordingly.

Adjustability and Control Options

Wattage and color temperature are field adjustable, allowing adaptation to site-specific requirements or future changes in use. The fixture is available with or without a photocell for dusk-to-dawn operation. Dimming is supported via 1-10V controls for integration with external systems.

Adjustments are made at the fixture during installation. No onboard motion sensor is included. Control options are limited to photocell and dimming input.

Longevity and Reliability

The fixture is rated for 50,000 hours (L70) and is built for continuous outdoor operation. Die-cast aluminum housing and frosted tempered glass optics provide long-term durability in exposed environments. The IP65 rating protects against dust and water ingress.

All components are selected for consistent performance over the rated life. No routine maintenance is required beyond periodic cleaning of the lens and housing.

Build Quality and Physical Characteristics

The fixture measures 11.9 inches in diameter and 26 inches in height. The housing is die-cast aluminum with a black finish. The lens is frosted tempered glass for glare control and even light distribution.
