20 / 30 / 40 / 60 Watt Adjustable LED Post Top Light | 2600 to 7800 Lumens | 3000K / 4000K / 5000K Adjustable | 100-277V | Built-In Photocell

Product Overview

This adjustable LED post top light is designed for exterior site and area lighting where architectural appearance and uniform illumination are required. The fixture supports selectable wattages of 20, 30, 40, or 60 watts, delivering up to 7800 lumens, and is suitable for mounting on standard 3-inch poles. Typical installations include pedestrian walkways, campus grounds, and municipal parks, where consistent light distribution and visual comfort are priorities.

The fixture integrates a built-in photocell for dusk-to-dawn operation and offers field-adjustable color temperature (3000K, 4000K, or 5000K) to match site requirements. The Type 5 distribution and frosted tempered glass lens provide wide, uniform coverage for open areas. This model is commonly used as a direct replacement for 250W metal halide post top fixtures in outdoor environments.

Core Performance and Output

This post top fixture provides selectable output levels from 2600 to 7800 lumens, with efficacy up to 130 lumens per watt. The Type 5 distribution delivers symmetrical, 360-degree coverage, supporting even illumination across plazas, pathways, and open pedestrian spaces. The fixture operates on 100-277V input and maintains a power factor above 0.90 with total harmonic distortion below 20%.

Color temperature can be set to 3000K, 4000K, or 5000K as needed for site aesthetics or visibility. At maximum output, the fixture is best suited for mounting heights between 10 and 18 feet. Excessive output at lower mounting heights may increase glare or reduce visual comfort in small courtyards or narrow walkways.

Adjustability and Control Options

Wattage and color temperature are field-adjustable using onboard controls, allowing adaptation to site-specific requirements or future changes in lighting needs. The built-in photocell enables automatic dusk-to-dawn operation, reducing manual intervention and supporting energy management strategies.

1-10V dimming is supported for integration with compatible controls. The fixture?s adjustability allows for standardized inventory across multiple sites while tailoring output and color to each location.

Longevity and Reliability

The fixture is rated for 50,000 hours (L70), supporting long-term operation in exterior environments with minimal maintenance. The die-cast aluminum housing and IP65 rating protect internal components from dust, rain, and incidental water exposure.

All electrical and optical components are selected for consistent performance over the fixture?s service life. The integrated photocell and driver are designed for reliable operation in outdoor conditions, reducing the risk of premature failure.

Build Quality and Physical Characteristics

The housing is constructed from die-cast aluminum with a black finish, providing corrosion resistance and structural durability. The fixture measures 25.6 inches in height and 17 inches in diameter, supporting proportional appearance on standard site poles.

Frosted tempered glass optics diffuse light for visual comfort and minimize direct glare. The fixture mounts directly to 3-inch round poles using a secure mechanical interface. The EPA rating of 1.75 supports use in typical site lighting applications without exceeding standard pole load limits.

Where This Product Fits Best

This LED post top fixture is intended for exterior architectural and pedestrian area lighting where uniformity, visual comfort, and site aesthetics are important. It is commonly used in:

• post top lighting
• pedestrian area lighting
• decorative site lighting
• campus lighting
• park lighting
• municipal lighting
• courtyard lighting
• pathway lighting

Suitable for outdoor environments exposed to rain, dust, and temperature fluctuations. The IP65 rating and robust construction support reliable operation in public spaces, campuses, and municipal sites.

Installation and Long-Term Use

The fixture is designed for direct mounting to 3-inch round poles using standard hardware. Installation requires access to line voltage (100-277V) and secure pole attachment. The adjustable wattage and color temperature allow for on-site configuration without additional tools or components.

Routine maintenance is limited to periodic cleaning of the lens and inspection of the photocell. The sealed housing and tempered glass minimize ingress of debris and moisture. Long-term reliability is supported by quality materials and a 5-year warranty.

How This Fixture Is Commonly Used

Typical mounting heights range from 10 to 18 feet, depending on site layout and desired light levels. Fixtures are spaced to provide overlapping coverage, with closer spacing in high-traffic pedestrian areas and wider spacing in open plazas or parks.

Layout patterns are determined by site geometry and required uniformity. Higher output settings reduce fixture count but may increase perceived brightness or glare in confined spaces. Adjustability allows for tuning after installation to achieve optimal results.

Safety, Certifications, and Warranty

This fixture is ETL listed and IP65 rated. It meets requirements for rebate eligibility where applicable. The product includes a 5-year warranty covering manufacturing defects and component failure under normal use.

All electrical and optical systems are designed to comply with relevant safety and performance standards for exterior site lighting.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What is the recommended mounting height for this post top fixture?

A: Recommended mounting height is 10 to 18 feet, depending on output setting and site requirements.

Q: How do I adjust the wattage and color temperature?

A: Wattage and color temperature are adjusted using onboard switches located inside the fixture housing.

Q: Is the built-in photocell field-replaceable?

A: The photocell is integrated and not designed for field replacement. If photocell failure occurs, fixture replacement is required.

Q: Can this fixture be dimmed with external controls?

A: Yes, 1-10V dimming is supported for use with compatible dimming systems.

Q: What is the EPA rating and how does it affect pole selection?

A: The fixture has an EPA rating of 1.75. Ensure the pole and foundation can support the total EPA and weight of all mounted fixtures at the installation site.

Q: How should fixtures be spaced for uniform coverage?

A: Spacing depends on mounting height, output setting, and site geometry. Typical spacing is 2 to 3 times the mounting height for uniform pedestrian area lighting.

Application Questions and Clarification

Q: Is this fixture suitable for pathway lighting in municipal parks?

A: Yes, this fixture is commonly used for pathway lighting in parks, providing uniform illumination and visual comfort.
