80 / 100 / 120 Watt LED Decorative Post Top Light | 9600 to 14400 Lumens | 3000K / 4000K / 5000K Adjustable | 100-277V

Product Overview

This LED Decorative Post Top Light is designed for outdoor area and site lighting where architectural appearance and uniform illumination are required. The fixture supports wattage selection between 80, 100, and 120 watts, delivering up to 14,400 lumens. It is suitable for mounting on standard 3-inch poles and is commonly used as a direct replacement for 400W metal halide post tops in pedestrian areas, campuses, and decorative site environments.

The fixture features field-adjustable color temperature (3000K, 4000K, 5000K) and wattage, allowing adaptation to site requirements during installation or maintenance. Typical mounting heights range from 12 to 20 feet, supporting both new construction and retrofit projects in municipal, campus, and park settings.

Core Performance and Output

This post top fixture offers selectable output levels of 9600, 12,000, or 14,400 lumens, with an efficacy of 120 lumens per watt. The Type 5 distribution provides uniform, circular coverage suitable for open pedestrian areas and pathways. Color temperature can be set to 3000K, 4000K, or 5000K as needed for site requirements.

Power factor is greater than 0.90, and total harmonic distortion is below 20%. 1-10V dimming is standard. Excessive output may cause glare at mounting heights below 10 feet. Uniformity may decrease if pole spacing exceeds typical design guidelines for pedestrian areas.

Adjustability and Control Options

Wattage and color temperature are both field-adjustable via onboard switches, allowing for tuning during installation or future maintenance. This supports adaptation to changing site needs or compliance with local lighting codes.

Standard 1-10V dimming enables integration with compatible controls for energy management or scheduled dimming. No onboard occupancy or photocell sensors are included; external controls can be added as required by the site.

Longevity and Reliability

The fixture is rated for 50,000 hours (L70) and uses a die-cast aluminum housing for long-term durability in outdoor environments. The IP65 rating protects against dust and water ingress, supporting reliable operation in exposed locations.

Frosted tempered glass optics resist impact and weathering. All components are selected for consistent performance over the stated lifespan. Routine cleaning of the lens and housing is recommended to maintain output and appearance.

Build Quality and Physical Characteristics

The housing is constructed from die-cast aluminum with a black finish. The fixture measures 11.9 inches in diameter and 26 inches in height, supporting installation on standard 3-inch round poles. The EPA rating is 1.2, suitable for most pedestrian area pole heights and wind load requirements.

Frosted tempered glass provides diffused light and minimizes visible glare. All wiring and connections are sealed to maintain the IP65 rating. The fixture is ETL listed and rebate eligible where applicable.

The fixture is suitable for outdoor use in all climates. The IP65 rating protects against rain and dust. Not intended for high-mast or roadway applications. Mounting height and pole selection should match EPA and wind load requirements.

Installation and Long-Term Use

The fixture mounts directly to 3-inch round poles using the integrated pole fitter. All wiring is completed at the pole base or within the pole shaft. Adjustable wattage and color temperature allow for on-site tuning without fixture replacement.

Routine inspection of pole integrity and fixture mounting hardware is recommended. Cleaning the frosted glass lens will help maintain light output. No special tools are required for standard installation. External controls or sensors can be added as needed for site-specific requirements.

How This Fixture Is Commonly Used

Typical mounting heights range from 12 to 20 feet, with pole spacing determined by desired light levels and uniformity. Fixtures are often spaced 2.5 to 4 mounting heights apart for pedestrian areas and pathways.

Higher wattage settings reduce fixture count but may increase perceived brightness or glare at lower mounting heights. Color temperature can be selected to match site aesthetics or local ordinances. Layouts should consider pole wind load and EPA limits.

Safety, Certifications, and Warranty

This fixture is ETL listed and IP65 rated. It is eligible for utility rebates where applicable. The housing and lens are designed for outdoor use and impact resistance. All electrical components are rated for 100-277V operation at 50/60 Hz.

A 5-year warranty covers manufacturing defects and component failure under normal operating conditions. Installation must follow local codes and pole manufacturer guidelines for safety and compliance.
