What is High Mast LED Lighting?

LED High Mast Lights are high-power lights mounted on a very tall pole. High mast poles can accommodate up to 4 to 16 lights depending on your requirements and the poles used. These are powerful lights with broad and wide beam angles so the LED-generated light output casts over an expansive area.

What are the Benefits of Using Outdoor LED High Mast Fixtures over Metal Halide and High-Pressure Sodium Fixtures?

• Energy Savings: you can expect to save 50% to 70% of your energy consumption and costs over HID Lamps / Metal Halide Lights.
• One-for-One Replacement: LED lights are powerful and you can easily replace Metal Halide lighting one-for-one
