30 / 40 / 60 Watt Adjustable LED Post Top Light | 3900 to 7800 Lumens | 3000K / 4000K / 5000K Adjustable | 100-277V

Product Overview

This adjustable LED post top light is designed for exterior site and architectural area lighting where uniform illumination and visual comfort are required. The fixture supports selectable wattages of 30, 40, or 60 watts, delivering up to 7800 lumens, and offers field-adjustable color temperature settings of 3000K, 4000K, or 5000K. Typical installations include pedestrian walkways, campus grounds, and municipal outdoor spaces, where legacy metal halide fixtures are being replaced for improved efficiency and reduced maintenance.

The fixture mounts to standard 3-inch poles and is suitable for mounting heights typically ranging from 10 to 18 feet, depending on output selection and site requirements. The Type 5 distribution provides even, circular coverage for open areas and pathways.

Core Performance and Output

This post top fixture offers three selectable output levels: 3900, 5200, or 7800 lumens, with an efficacy of 130 lumens per watt. The Type 5 polycarbonate lens delivers uniform 360-degree distribution, supporting consistent illumination across plazas, walkways, and landscaped areas. Power factor exceeds 0.92, and total harmonic distortion remains below 20% for stable electrical performance.

At the highest output, the fixture is suitable for mounting heights up to 18 feet. Excessive output at lower mounting heights may increase glare in pedestrian zones. For larger open areas or higher poles, additional fixtures may be required to maintain uniformity.

Adjustability and Control Options

The fixture includes field-adjustable wattage and color temperature, allowing on-site selection of 30, 40, or 60 watts and 3000K, 4000K, or 5000K CCT. This supports adaptation to site-specific requirements and visual preferences without the need for multiple SKUs or pre-configuration.

No onboard dimming or advanced controls are included. The fixture operates at full output based on the selected wattage and color temperature. External control systems are not supported.

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 polycarbonate lens resist impact and weathering.

IP65 ingress protection ensures resistance to dust and water jets, suitable for exposed outdoor locations. The fixture maintains consistent performance across a wide range of ambient conditions.

Build Quality and Physical Characteristics

The housing is constructed from die-cast aluminum with a bronze finish, providing corrosion resistance and structural durability. The polycarbonate lens is impact-resistant and designed for outdoor use.

The fixture measures 16.5 inches in diameter and 17 inches in height, with a total weight of 15.43 pounds. Mounting is compatible with standard 3-inch round poles. The EPA rating of 0.37 supports use in typical site lighting applications without excessive wind load concerns.

Where This Product Fits Best

This fixture is intended for exterior site lighting where architectural appearance and uniform pedestrian illumination are required. It is commonly deployed 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 weather, including public plazas, campus walkways, and landscaped municipal areas. The fixture?s IP65 rating and robust construction support reliable operation in rain, dust, and temperature fluctuations.

Installation and Long-Term Use

The fixture is designed for direct mounting to 3-inch round poles using standard hardware. Installation requires secure pole attachment and electrical connection to 100-277V supply. The adjustable wattage and color temperature can be set during installation to match site requirements.

Routine maintenance is limited to periodic cleaning of the lens and inspection of pole mounting hardware. No re-lamping is required. The fixture?s sealed design minimizes ingress of dust and moisture, reducing long-term service needs.

How This Fixture Is Commonly Used

Typical mounting heights range from 10 to 18 feet, depending on output selection and site layout. Fixtures are spaced to provide overlapping coverage along walkways, around plazas, or throughout landscaped areas. Type 5 distribution supports even illumination in open spaces and along curved paths.

Spacing and fixture count vary based on selected wattage, desired light levels, and site geometry. Higher output settings can reduce the number of fixtures required but may increase perceived brightness or glare in close pedestrian settings.

Safety, Certifications, and Warranty

This fixture is UL listed and IP65 rated. It meets requirements for exterior site lighting in commercial and municipal environments. The product is eligible for utility rebates where applicable.

A 5-year warranty covers manufacturing defects and performance. All components are rated for outdoor use and long-term reliability in exposed conditions.
