300 Watt LED Pole Light | 39000 Lumens | 5000K | 100-277V or 277V-480V | Type 5

Product Overview

This 300 Watt LED Post Top Light is designed for high-output post top and architectural site lighting. It delivers 39,000 lumens at 5000K, providing a daylight-white appearance suitable for large outdoor pedestrian areas and decorative site applications. The fixture is built for mounting on 2 3/8 inch poles, commonly found in municipal, campus, and park environments.

The die-cast aluminum housing and polycarbonate lens provide durability for outdoor use. This model is a direct replacement for 1000W metal halide post top fixtures, supporting both 100-277V and 277-480V input. Typical mounting heights range from 18 to 30 feet, depending on site requirements and desired light levels.

Core Performance and Output

This fixture outputs 39,000 lumens at 130 lumens per watt, supporting high-visibility requirements in large pedestrian zones and open site areas. The Type 5 distribution provides uniform, circular coverage, minimizing dark spots and supporting even illumination across plazas, walkways, and courtyards. Color temperature is 5000K with a CRI above 70.

Electrical performance includes a power factor above 0.90 and THD below 20%. 1-10V dimming is standard. At mounting heights below 15 feet, output may be excessive and could result in increased glare. For optimal uniformity, avoid spacing that exceeds the effective coverage diameter of the Type 5 optic at the selected mounting height.

Adjustability and Control Options

This post top fixture includes 1-10V dimming capability for integration with compatible controls or daylight harvesting systems. The Type 5 optic is fixed and not field-adjustable. No tilt or rotation is provided; the fixture is designed for upright, vertical pole mounting only.

Control options are limited to dimming via external controls. No onboard occupancy or photocell sensors are included. For advanced control, external systems must be specified and installed separately.

Longevity and Reliability

The fixture is rated for 50,000 hours (L70), supporting long-term operation in outdoor environments with minimal maintenance. The die-cast aluminum housing and polycarbonate lens resist impact and weathering. The IP65 rating protects against dust and water jets from any direction.

All components are designed for continuous operation in typical outdoor temperature ranges. No internal fans or moving parts are present, reducing points of failure. The fixture is ETL listed and covered by a 5-year warranty.

Build Quality and Physical Characteristics

The housing is constructed from die-cast aluminum with a bronze finish. The lens is polycarbonate for impact resistance and UV stability. The fixture measures 22 inches in length, 18 inches in width, and 22 inches in height, with a total weight of 28 lbs.

Mounting is via a 2 3/8 inch pole tenon. The fixture is designed for upright installation only. All hardware is corrosion-resistant for outdoor use. The sealed design supports operation in wet locations.

Where This Product Fits Best

This LED post top fixture is suited for large-scale outdoor pedestrian and architectural environments requiring high-output, uniform illumination. It is commonly used in municipal, campus, and decorative site lighting projects where both performance and aesthetics are important.

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

The fixture is suitable for outdoor use in all weather conditions. The IP65 rating and robust construction support installation in areas exposed to rain, dust, and occasional impact.

Installation and Long-Term Use

Installation is direct to a 2 3/8 inch pole tenon using standard mounting hardware. The fixture?s weight and size require secure pole mounting and may not be suitable for lightweight or decorative poles. Electrical connections support both 100-277V and 277-480V systems.

Routine maintenance is limited to periodic cleaning of the lens and inspection of mounting hardware. No relamping is required. For long-term reliability, ensure pole and foundation integrity, especially in high-wind or high-traffic areas.

How This Fixture Is Commonly Used

This fixture is typically installed at heights between 18 and 30 feet, depending on the area size and required light levels. Spacing is determined by the Type 5 distribution and site geometry, with typical pole-to-pole distances ranging from 40 to 60 feet for uniform coverage.

In large plazas or campus walkways, fixtures are often laid out in grid or staggered patterns to minimize shadowing and maximize uniformity. Higher output allows for wider spacing, but may increase glare if mounting height is too low or if used in small areas.

Safety, Certifications, and Warranty

This fixture is ETL listed and IP65 rated. It meets requirements for outdoor wet location use. The product is eligible for utility rebates where applicable.

A 5-year warranty covers manufacturing defects and performance. All safety and certification markings are present on the fixture label.

Frequently Asked Questions
