Product Overview
This LED Decorative Post Top Light is a wattage and color adjustable fixture designed for post top lighting in outdoor architectural and pedestrian environments. The fixture supports 30, 50, or 60 watt operation, delivering up to 7,800 lumens with selectable color temperatures of 3000K, 4000K, or 5000K. It is intended for mounting on 3-inch poles and includes a built-in photocell for dusk-to-dawn operation.
Typical use cases include replacing 150W metal halide post tops in municipal, campus, or park settings. The fixture is suitable for mounting heights in the 10 to 18 foot range, providing uniform illumination for walkways, plazas, and decorative site lighting.
Core Performance and Output
This fixture offers three selectable wattage settings: 30W, 50W, and 60W, producing 3,900, 6,500, or 7,800 lumens respectively. Delivered efficacy is 130 lumens per watt. The Type 5 distribution and frosted polycarbonate lens provide uniform, low-glare coverage for open areas and pathways.
Color temperature can be set to 3000K, 4000K, or 5000K to match site requirements. The fixture operates on 100-277V input and maintains a power factor above 0.92 with THD below 20%. Output may be excessive for mounting heights below 10 feet. At mounting heights above 18 feet, uniformity and visual comfort may be reduced.
Adjustability and Control Options
Wattage and color temperature are field adjustable via onboard switches, allowing tuning for site-specific light levels and appearance. The built-in photocell enables automatic dusk-to-dawn operation without external controls.
No dimming or advanced networked controls are included. The fixture is designed for standalone operation with basic on/off photocell control.
Longevity and Reliability
The fixture is rated for 50,000 hours (L70) and uses a die-cast aluminum housing for thermal management and durability. The IP65 rating protects against dust and water ingress in outdoor environments.
Operating temperature range is -40°F to 113°F. The fixture is suitable for year-round exterior use in most climates. No internal serviceable components are present; replacement is required at end of life.
Build Quality and Physical Characteristics
The housing is constructed from die-cast aluminum with a black finish. The lens is frosted polycarbonate for impact resistance and glare control. The fixture measures 18.1 inches in diameter and 33 inches in height, with a total weight of 13 lbs.
Mounting is designed for standard 3-inch round poles. The EPA rating is 1.8, supporting installation in typical low- to mid-height pole applications. All hardware is corrosion resistant for outdoor use.
