30 Watt LED Decorative Post Top Light | 3610 Lumens | 3000K / 4000K / 5000K Adjustable | 100-277V | Optional Photocell

Product Overview

This 30 Watt LED Decorative Post Top Light is designed for post top lighting and architectural site lighting in outdoor environments. It delivers 3610 lumens with selectable color temperatures of 3000K, 4000K, or 5000K, supporting a range of visual requirements for pedestrian and decorative site areas. The fixture mounts to a standard 3-inch pole and is suitable for replacing 100 Watt metal halide post tops in municipal, campus, and park settings.

The fixture features a Type 5 distribution for uniform, circular light coverage, making it appropriate for open pedestrian zones and landscaped areas. The IP65 rating and die-cast aluminum housing support reliable operation in exposed outdoor locations.

Core Performance and Output

This fixture outputs 3610 lumens at 30 watts, providing 120 lumens per watt efficiency. The Type 5 beam angle delivers even, symmetrical illumination for pathways, plazas, and open site areas. Color temperature can be set to 3000K, 4000K, or 5000K to match site requirements or existing lighting.

Electrical performance includes 100-277V input, a power factor above 0.90, and THD below 20%. Output is well-suited for mounting heights between 10 and 16 feet. At lower mounting heights, output may be excessive for narrow pathways. At higher mounting heights, uniformity may decrease in wide open areas.

Adjustability and Control Options

The fixture includes field-selectable color temperature adjustment, allowing for on-site selection of 3000K, 4000K, or 5000K. This supports visual comfort and site-specific requirements without the need for multiple SKUs. 1-10V dimming is standard for integration with compatible controls.

An optional photocell is available for dusk-to-dawn operation. The fixture can be specified with or without the photocell, depending on site control needs. No motion sensor or networked control options are included.

Longevity and Reliability

The fixture is rated for 50,000 hours (L70), supporting long-term operation with minimal maintenance. The die-cast aluminum housing and frosted tempered glass lens are designed for outdoor durability and resistance to impact and weather exposure.

IP65 ingress protection ensures resistance to dust and water jets, suitable for exposed site installations. The fixture is ETL certified and covered by a 5-year warranty.

Build Quality and Physical Characteristics

The housing is constructed from die-cast aluminum with a black finish. The lens is frosted tempered glass for glare control and uniform light diffusion. The fixture measures 11.9 inches in diameter and 26 inches in height, supporting architectural integration in decorative site applications.

Mounting is designed for standard 3-inch round poles. The fixture has an EPA rating of 1.2, supporting installation in typical low to moderate wind environments. All hardware is corrosion resistant for outdoor use.

Routine maintenance is limited to periodic cleaning of the lens and inspection of seals. The color temperature selector is accessible for field adjustment prior to energizing the fixture. Photocell installation, if specified, requires no additional wiring beyond standard line voltage connections.

How This Fixture Is Commonly Used

Typical mounting heights range from 10 to 16 feet, depending on site layout and desired light levels. Fixtures are spaced to provide overlapping Type 5 distributions, supporting uniform coverage along pathways, plazas, or pedestrian corridors. Spacing varies based on mounting height and site geometry.

Higher output allows for wider spacing, but may increase perceived brightness in small or narrow areas. Color temperature selection is often coordinated across a site for visual consistency.
