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

Product Overview

This adjustable LED shoebox fixture operates at 240, 260, 280, or 310 watts, producing 36,720 to 47,430 lumens at 5000K. It is designed as a direct replacement for 1000 watt metal halide fixtures in parking lots, roadways, and other area lighting applications. The fixture runs on 277-480V input and delivers 153 lumens per watt across all output settings.

The housing is die-cast aluminum with a bronze finish, measuring 22 inches long, 11.8 inches wide, and 3 inches tall. Total weight is 11.3 pounds. A polycarbonate lens covers the LED array, and the fixture uses Type 3 optics for forward-throw light distribution typical of roadway and parking area layouts.

Where This Product Fits Best

This fixture suits outdoor area lighting where 1000 watt metal halide has been the standard. Parking lots, driveways, loading docks, and private roadways are common applications. The 277-480V input range matches commercial and industrial electrical systems without requiring a step-down transformer.

Type 3 distribution places the majority of light forward of the pole, which works well for linear runs along roads or perimeter lighting along building edges. The 1.7 EPA rating should be factored into pole loading calculations, particularly in high-wind zones or when adding multiple fixtures to a single pole.

Performance and Functional Considerations

Output ranges from 36,720 lumens at 240 watts to 47,430 lumens at 310 watts. All four settings maintain 153 lumens per watt. CRI is rated at 70 or higher, which is typical for area lighting where color accuracy is secondary to coverage and visibility.

The fixture includes 10kV surge protection. Operating temperature range spans -40°F to 113°F, covering most climate conditions. Power factor exceeds 0.90, and total harmonic distortion stays below 15%, both of which support stable operation on commercial electrical systems.

Installation and Long-Term Use

Mounting options include arm, slip fitter, or trunnion configurations. At 11.3 pounds, the fixture is manageable for single-technician installation with appropriate pole access equipment. IP65 rating allows installation in exposed outdoor locations where rain, dust, and debris are expected.

Rated lifespan is 100,000 hours at L70, meaning output will remain above 70% of initial lumens for the duration. An optional photocell is available for dusk-to-dawn operation. The fixture does not support dimming.

How This Fixture Is Commonly Used

Once installed, wattage selection allows the fixture output to be matched to site conditions. A pole closer to an adjacent building or overlapping coverage zones might run at 240 watts, while a pole at the far edge of a lot might be set to 310 watts. This adjustment is made at the fixture, so output can be tailored per location rather than accepting a fixed value across an entire site.

The 5000K color temperature produces a bright, neutral white light that supports visibility in parking areas and along walkways. Type 3 optics throw light forward and to the sides, which reduces spill behind the pole and keeps light directed where coverage is needed.

Safety, Certifications, and Warranty

This fixture is UL listed and DLC Premium qualified. The 5-year warranty covers the fixture against manufacturing defects under normal operating conditions.
