240 / 260 / 280 / 310 Watt Adjustable LED Shoebox | 36720 to 47430 Lumens | 3000K / 4000K / 5000K | 100-277V or 277-480V

Product Overview

This is an adjustable wattage LED shoebox fixture designed for exterior area and site lighting. It delivers selectable output from 240 to 310 watts, supporting a range of lumen packages suitable for large outdoor environments. Typical use includes replacing 1000W metal halide fixtures in parking lots, commercial sites, and sports courts with mounting heights from 20 to 40 feet.

The fixture supports 100-277V or 277-480V input, with selectable color temperature (3000K, 4000K, 5000K) for site-specific requirements. It is built for pole, wall, yoke, or slip fitter mounting, providing flexibility for new installations or retrofit projects.

Core Performance and Output

This shoebox light offers four wattage settings: 240W, 260W, 280W, and 310W, producing 36,720 to 47,430 lumens at 153 lumens per watt. The Type 3 distribution is suitable for perimeter and area coverage in open lots and courts. Output is consistent across the full voltage range, with a power factor above 0.90 and THD below 15%.

At mounting heights above 35 feet, uniformity may decrease at the edges of large lots. Output at the highest setting can be excessive for small parking areas or low poles, so wattage adjustment is recommended to match site needs.

Adjustability and Control Options

Wattage and color temperature are field-adjustable using onboard switches, allowing tuning for site-specific light levels and color requirements. The fixture supports optional photocell integration for dusk-to-dawn operation. No onboard dimming is provided.

Mounting options include wall, yoke, arm, and slip fitter, supporting most pole and building configurations. Adjustability supports both new construction and retrofit scenarios where site conditions vary.

Longevity and Reliability

The fixture is rated for 100,000 hours (L70), supporting long-term operation in demanding exterior environments. The die-cast aluminum housing and polycarbonate lens provide impact resistance and weather protection. Surge protection is rated at 10kV for electrical reliability.

Operating temperature range is -40°F to 113°F. The fixture is IP65 rated for dust and water ingress, supporting year-round outdoor use in most climates.

Build Quality and Physical Characteristics

The housing is constructed from die-cast aluminum with a bronze finish. The fixture measures 22 inches high by 11.8 inches wide by 3 inches deep and weighs 11.3 lbs. The polycarbonate lens is impact-resistant and UV-stable.

All mounting hardware is designed for secure attachment to poles, walls, or brackets. The EPA rating is 1.7, supporting installation on standard 4-inch or 5-inch square or round poles in most wind zones.

Where This Product Fits Best

This fixture is designed for exterior area lighting in commercial and municipal environments. It is commonly installed in locations requiring high-output, uniform illumination with flexible mounting and adjustability.

• parking lot lighting
• area lighting
• commercial site lighting
• roadway perimeter lighting
• tennis court lighting
• pickleball court lighting
• horse arena lighting
• dealership lighting

Environmental characteristics include wet location suitability, wide operating temperature range, and resistance to dust and water ingress. The fixture is appropriate for open lots, sports courts, and perimeter lighting where pole or wall mounting is required.

Installation and Long-Term Use

The fixture supports multiple mounting methods: arm, slip fitter, yoke, and wall. This allows adaptation to existing poles, new installations, or building-mounted applications. All wiring is accessible from the rear or side, depending on mounting configuration.

Routine maintenance is limited to periodic cleaning of the lens and inspection of mounting hardware. Field-adjustable wattage and color temperature allow tuning after installation if site conditions change. No relamping is required over the rated life.

How This Fixture Is Commonly Used

Typical mounting heights range from 20 to 40 feet, depending on site size and required light levels. Fixtures are spaced to provide uniform coverage, with higher wattage settings reducing fixture count for large lots or courts.

In parking lots, fixtures are often installed on 25- to 35-foot poles at 3 to 5 times mounting height spacing. For tennis and pickleball courts, mounting is typically at 20 to 30 feet with closer spacing for uniformity. Higher output settings can reduce the number of fixtures but may increase glare if not aimed or shielded appropriately.

Safety, Certifications, and Warranty

This fixture is UL listed and DLC Premium qualified. It is IP65 rated for wet locations and includes 10kV surge protection. The product is covered by a 5-year warranty from the date of installation.

All components are rated for outdoor use and meet applicable safety and performance standards for commercial exterior lighting.
