80 Watt Hybrid Solar Area Light | 16000 Lumens | 4000K | 100-277V | High Performance | 5 Year Warranty

Product Overview

This 80 watt hybrid solar area light delivers 16,000 lumens at 4000K color temperature through a Type 3 distribution pattern. The fixture operates as a hybrid system, drawing from an integrated monocrystalline solar panel while maintaining 100-277V AC backup capability. At 200 lumens per watt, the optical system uses polycarbonate lenses to shape output for roadway and parking area applications.

The aluminum alloy housing and integrated solar panel measure 55 x 16.6 x 10 inches and weigh 48 pounds. A slip fitter mount allows installation on standard round poles. The fixture includes a motion sensor and carries separate warranty terms: five years on the fixture and three years on the battery.

Where This Product Fits Best

The hybrid solar design suits sites where reducing grid dependency matters but reliable AC backup is still required. Parking lots, pathways, perimeter roads, and outdoor storage areas are typical applications. The Type 3 beam angle produces an asymmetric forward throw suited for pole-mounted roadway and area lighting layouts.

At 16,000 lumens, this fixture replaces 400 watt metal halide area lights. The 1.8 EPA rating defines wind load calculations for pole selection and foundation sizing. IP65 construction allows installation in locations exposed to rain, dust, and washdown spray without requiring additional weatherproofing.

Performance and Functional Considerations

The 80 watt draw produces 16,000 lumens with a CRI of 70+, appropriate for general area and security lighting where accurate color rendering is not critical. The 4000K output falls in the neutral white range commonly used in exterior commercial and industrial applications.

Rated lifespan reaches 100,000 hours at L70, the point at which output declines to 70 percent of initial lumens. The fixture does not support dimming. Voltage input spans 100V through 277V, covering standard commercial service without requiring transformer matching.

Installation and Long-Term Use

The slip fitter mount accepts standard round poles and allows directional aiming during installation. At 48 pounds, the fixture requires appropriate lifting and pole-top hardware rated for that load. The 1.8 EPA should be factored into pole and foundation engineering, particularly in high-wind regions.

IP65 ingress protection allows the fixture to remain exposed to outdoor weather without supplemental enclosures. The monocrystalline solar panel is integrated into the housing, so panel orientation depends on fixture aiming and pole placement. Battery replacement will follow its own service interval under the three-year battery warranty, separate from the five-year fixture warranty.

How This Fixture Is Commonly Used

After installation, the hybrid system draws from solar charge when available and switches to AC input as needed. This behavior is automatic and does not require operator intervention under normal conditions. The motion sensor activates based on detected movement, adjusting output levels accordingly.

Day-to-day operation requires no manual control. The fixture maintains output through either power source, so facilities relying on this light for security or wayfinding can expect continuous operation regardless of solar availability. The Type 3 optic throws light forward and to the sides, which works well when poles are positioned along the edge of a lot or roadway rather than centered within the lit area.

Safety, Certifications, and Warranty

IP65 rated. The fixture tolerates direct water spray and dust exposure without internal damage.

The warranty is split: five years on the fixture and three years on the battery. Warranty terms apply as defined by LED Lighting Supply.
