300 Watt LED Shoebox Area Light | 39000 Lumens | 4000K or 5000K | 100V-277V or 277V-480V

Product Overview

This 300 Watt LED Shoebox Area Light is designed for exterior site and area lighting where high output and uniformity are required. It delivers 39,000 lumens in either 4000K or 5000K color temperature, supporting both 100-277V and 277-480V electrical systems. The fixture is suitable for replacing 1000W metal halide units in parking lots, commercial sites, and roadway perimeters.

With a Type 3 distribution, this shoebox light is intended for pole-mounted applications at typical mounting heights between 20 and 40 feet. The die-cast aluminum housing and polycarbonate lens provide durability for continuous outdoor use in a range of climates.

Core Performance and Output

This fixture outputs 39,000 lumens at 130 lumens per watt, providing high efficiency for large exterior areas. The Type 3 beam pattern is engineered for roadway, parking lot, and perimeter coverage, balancing forward throw and lateral spread. Color temperature options include 4000K and 5000K, both with a CRI above 70.

Power factor is 0.9 with total harmonic distortion below 15%. The fixture supports 1-10V dimming for integration with lighting controls. At mounting heights below 20 feet, output may be excessive and increase glare. Uniformity can be affected if pole spacing exceeds recommended distances for this output class.

Adjustability and Control Options

The fixture is available with either an arm or slip fitter mount, allowing for direct pole attachment or adjustable tilt. 1-10V dimming is standard, supporting occupancy sensors, photocells, or networked lighting controls. The slip fitter option enables precise aiming for perimeter or angled site layouts.

No onboard controls are included; external sensors or control devices must be specified separately. The fixture is compatible with most standard control systems used in commercial exterior lighting.

Longevity and Reliability

L70 rated life is 50,000 hours, supporting long-term operation with minimal maintenance. The fixture is designed for continuous outdoor use, with an IP65 rating for protection against dust and water jets. Operating temperature range is -40°F to 113°F, suitable for most North American climates.

All components are housed in a sealed enclosure to prevent ingress of moisture and debris. The polycarbonate lens resists impact and UV degradation. Routine cleaning and inspection are recommended to maintain optical performance in high-dust or debris-prone environments.

Build Quality and Physical Characteristics

The housing is die-cast aluminum with a bronze finish, providing corrosion resistance and structural integrity. The fixture measures 27 inches long, 13.11 inches wide, and 6.61 inches high, with a total weight of 17 lbs. The polycarbonate lens is impact resistant and designed for outdoor exposure.

EPA rating is 2.1, supporting installation on standard commercial poles. The fixture is UL listed and suitable for wet locations. All mounting hardware is designed for secure attachment to square or round poles using the selected mounting option.

The fixture is suitable for wet locations and continuous outdoor exposure. It is not intended for low mounting heights or interior use. For optimal performance, install on poles rated for the fixture?s EPA and weight.

Installation and Long-Term Use

Mounting options include arm and slip fitter, supporting both direct pole and adjustable installations. The fixture is compatible with standard 3-inch and 4-inch pole tenons. All wiring is accessible through a gasketed compartment for weather-sealed connections.

Routine inspection of mounting hardware and electrical connections is recommended, especially in high-wind or corrosive environments. The fixture?s weight and EPA should be verified against pole specifications before installation. Cleaning the lens periodically will help maintain light output and uniformity.

How This Fixture Is Commonly Used

Typical mounting heights range from 20 to 40 feet, depending on site requirements and pole spacing. For parking lots and area lighting, fixtures are spaced to achieve uniform coverage and minimize dark spots. On sports courts or arenas, aiming and layout are adjusted to meet specific illumination targets.

Higher output allows for wider pole spacing, reducing fixture count, but may increase glare if not properly aimed or shielded. Control integration is common for energy management and code compliance.

Safety, Certifications, and Warranty

This fixture is UL listed and IP65 rated. It meets requirements for wet location installation and is eligible for utility rebates where applicable. The housing and lens are designed for impact resistance and outdoor durability.

A 5-year warranty covers manufacturing defects and component failure under normal operating conditions. All safety and certification markings are present on the fixture label.
