100 Watt LED Shoebox Area Light | 13000 Lumens | 5000K | 100-277V

Product Overview

This 100 watt LED shoebox area light produces 13,000 lumens at 5000K with a Type 3 distribution pattern. It operates on 100-277V input and replaces 250 watt metal halide fixtures in parking lot, roadway, and general area lighting applications.

The fixture housing is die-cast aluminum with a bronze finish. A polycarbonate lens covers the LED array. The unit measures 20.19 inches long by 13.11 inches wide by 6.61 inches tall and weighs 12 pounds.

Three mounting options are available: yoke mount, arm mount, or slip fitter. The EPA rating is 1.3, which determines wind load calculations when selecting poles or evaluating existing pole capacity.

Where This Product Fits Best

This fixture suits outdoor area lighting where a 250 watt metal halide is currently installed or specified. Parking lots, side lots, loading areas, and pathways are typical locations. The Type 3 optic throws light forward and to the sides while limiting backlight, which works well for fixtures mounted along the perimeter of a lot or roadway edge.

The 100-277V input range covers standard commercial voltages without requiring a transformer or voltage-specific model selection. Operating temperature range spans -40°F to 113°F, supporting installations in cold-climate and warm-climate regions.

With an IP65 rating, this fixture tolerates direct water spray from any direction and resists dust ingress. It handles exposed outdoor mounting in rain, snow, and dusty environments without requiring additional enclosures or sheltering.

Performance and Functional Considerations

At 130 lumens per watt, this fixture delivers 13,000 lumens from 100 watts of input power. CRI is 70+, which is standard for area and roadway lighting where color rendering is not critical. The 5000K color temperature produces a cool white output commonly used in commercial outdoor applications.

The Type 3 distribution is asymmetric, directing the majority of light forward and laterally. This pattern suits perimeter-mounted fixtures where controlling light trespass behind the pole is a factor.

Dimming is supported via 1-10V control. Power factor is 0.9 and total harmonic distortion is 15%, both within acceptable ranges for commercial electrical systems. The fixture operates on 50-60Hz frequency.

Installation and Long-Term Use

The fixture accepts yoke, arm, or slip fitter mounting. Slip fitter mounting allows direct attachment to a standard 2-3/8 inch tenon on a pole or mast arm. Yoke mounting provides adjustable aiming. Arm mounting suits wall-mount or bracket applications.

At 12 pounds and with an EPA of 1.3, this fixture falls within standard pole load limits for most single-fixture applications. Pole capacity should be verified when mounting multiple fixtures or when using older or smaller-diameter poles.

Rated lifespan is 50,000 hours at L70, meaning the fixture retains at least 70% of initial lumen output at that point. Die-cast aluminum housing dissipates heat effectively, and the polycarbonate lens resists impact better than glass in high-exposure locations.

How This Fixture Is Commonly Used

Facility operators typically install this fixture as a direct replacement for aging 250 watt metal halide shoebox lights. The slip fitter option allows reuse of existing pole tenons, which simplifies changeouts. Yoke mounting is used when aiming adjustments are needed after installation.

The 1-10V dimming input allows integration with external photocells, timers, or building automation systems where dimming or scheduled output reduction is part of the site lighting plan. Without a connected dimmer, the fixture operates at full output.

In cold-start conditions down to -40°F, this fixture reaches full brightness immediately, unlike metal halide lamps that require warm-up time. That characteristic matters in locations where lights cycle on and off frequently or where immediate illumination is expected after a power interruption.

Safety, Certifications, and Warranty

This fixture is UL listed and rebate eligible. The IP65 rating confirms protection against dust and water jets. The die-cast aluminum housing and polycarbonate lens are suitable for outdoor exposure without supplemental shielding.

We provide a 5-year warranty on this fixture.
