50 Watt LED Flood Light | 6900 Lumens | 5000K | 100-277V

Product Overview

This 50 Watt LED Flood Light is designed for targeted outdoor illumination in commercial and industrial environments. It delivers 6900 lumens at 5000K, providing a crisp, daylight-white output suitable for perimeter, area, and architectural lighting. The fixture is built for trunnion mounting and is commonly used as a direct replacement for 250W metal halide flood lights.

Typical installations include building facades, security zones, and bridge structures where controlled, medium-output lighting is required. The compact form factor and robust housing allow for use in exposed outdoor locations subject to weather and temperature fluctuations.

Core Performance and Output

This fixture outputs 6900 lumens at 50 watts, achieving an efficacy of 138 lumens per watt. The 120° beam angle provides wide, even coverage for area and security lighting tasks. Color temperature is fixed at 5000K, supporting high-visibility applications where color rendering and clarity are important.

Electrical performance is stable across 100-277V input, with a total harmonic distortion below 15%. At mounting heights above 20 feet, uniformity may decrease and spacing should be evaluated to avoid dark spots. Output may be excessive for small, confined areas or low mounting heights.

Adjustability and Control Options

The trunnion mount allows for precise aiming and secure installation on flat surfaces or structural members. The fixture supports 1-10V dimming for integration with compatible lighting controls or occupancy sensors. No onboard motion or photocell is included; external controls must be specified if required.

Adjustability is limited to the mechanical range of the trunnion bracket. The wide beam angle is fixed and not field-adjustable.

Longevity and Reliability

The LED array is rated for 50,000 hours of L70 operation, supporting multi-year service intervals in typical outdoor environments. The fixture is sealed to IP65, protecting against dust and water ingress during rain or washdown events.

Thermal management is passive, with the aluminum housing acting as a heat sink. The driver and LEDs are protected against voltage fluctuations within the rated input range. No field-serviceable parts are present; replacement is required at end of life.

Build Quality and Physical Characteristics

The housing is constructed from corrosion-resistant aluminum with a bronze finish. The lens is polycarbonate, providing impact resistance and UV stability. The fixture measures 11.5 x 7 x 5.5 inches and weighs 14 lbs, supporting secure mounting in exposed locations.

Operating temperature range is -31°F to 131°F. All hardware is designed for outdoor use and resists degradation from weather exposure. The fixture is UL listed and IP65 rated.

Where This Product Fits Best

This flood light is suited for medium-scale exterior lighting tasks where controlled, directional output is required. It is commonly installed in:

• security lighting
• area lighting
• building facade lighting
• bridge lighting
• parking lot lighting
• loading area lighting
• event venue lighting
• construction site lighting

Environmental characteristics include resistance to rain, dust, and temperature extremes. The fixture is not intended for underwater use or continuous submersion.

Installation and Long-Term Use

Trunnion mounting supports attachment to walls, structural steel, or concrete surfaces. The fixture requires secure anchoring due to its weight and wind exposure. Standard wiring practices apply for 100-277V input; all connections must be weatherproofed in outdoor installations.

Routine inspection is recommended to confirm bracket integrity and lens cleanliness. No relamping or internal maintenance is required during the rated service life. Replacement is straightforward at end of life due to the accessible mounting system.

How This Fixture Is Commonly Used

Typical mounting heights range from 10 to 25 feet, depending on the area to be illuminated and the desired coverage. Spacing is determined by the beam angle and output; for perimeter security, fixtures are often spaced 30 to 50 feet apart. For facade or bridge lighting, aiming is adjusted to minimize glare and maximize uniformity.

Higher output allows for wider spacing but may increase glare if aimed directly at pedestrian areas. Layouts should be reviewed to balance coverage and visual comfort.

Safety, Certifications, and Warranty

This fixture is UL listed and IP65 rated. The housing and lens are designed for outdoor use and resist impact and weather exposure. Operating temperature range supports installation in most climates.

A 5-year warranty covers manufacturing defects and premature failure under normal operating conditions. No special safety procedures are required beyond standard electrical and mounting practices.
