Shoebox Fixture Lighting Layout Estimator
Use this estimator to calculate approximate fixture count, pole placement, spacing, and average foot-candles for parking lots, exterior areas, and outdoor sport court applications using the selected LED shoebox fixture. Enter the area size, mounting height, target foot-candles, light loss factor, and outdoor light use factor to generate a preliminary layout.
Project Inputs
Estimated Results
Estimated average foot-candles are preliminary. The visual heat map is normalized to the estimated average and is intended to show approximate coverage behavior, not a verified lighting plan.
Parking Lot / Exterior Area Mode: Fixtures are placed on poles along the longest edges of the area. Edge fixtures are modeled as level / down-facing shoebox fixtures with the optic directed inward. For wider parking areas, a center row can be added.
Sport Court Mode: Poles are placed on the long edges of the court. Fixtures are modeled as level / down-facing and directed toward court coverage zones instead of being tilted toward one center point.
Photometry / Simulation Note: When usable IES photometry is available for the selected fixture, this estimator uses the fixture’s IES candela data to improve the visual ground-level light distribution. When IES photometry is not available, the estimator uses a simulated Type 3 or Type 5 optic model based on lumens, mounting height, outdoor light use factor, light loss factor, and fixture direction.
Outdoor Light Use Factor: Suggested starting points: open rectangular paved area 0.60–0.70, typical parking lot 0.45–0.60, areas with setbacks or edge losses 0.35–0.50, complex outdoor sites 0.25–0.40.
Preliminary Estimate Only: This estimator is intended for simple rectangular outdoor areas. Actual light levels may vary based on fixture optics, pole setbacks, mounting height, fixture orientation, distribution type, surface reflectance, obstructions, voltage, installation conditions, spill light requirements, and site-specific requirements.
This estimate is a starting point. Parking lots, roadways, sport courts, public areas, campuses, vehicle areas, and code-sensitive exterior projects should be reviewed with a lighting plan before purchase or installation.
Product Overview
This 300-watt LED shoebox area light delivers 48,000 lumens for exterior parking lot lighting, area lighting, and commercial site lighting. It is available in 4000K or 5000K with a standard Type 5 distribution and optional Type 3 distribution.
The fixture operates on 100V-277V systems, with a 277V-480V option available. It replaces 1000-watt metal halide area fixtures where existing pole mounting and site layout support the higher-output LED configuration.
Core Performance and Output
The fixture produces 48,000 lumens at 300 watts, operating at 160 lumens per watt. A 70+ CRI supports exterior site visibility, and the 50/60 Hz driver has a power factor above 0.92 with THD below 15%.
The standard Type 5 optic provides a broad distribution around the pole location. The optional Type 3 optic directs output along a roadway perimeter or other linear site layout. This output level can be excessive at low mounting heights, while higher mounting heights require layout review to maintain uniformity.
Adjustability and Control Options
This fixture is not dimmable. Motion sensor capability is available, and an optional photocell can be used for daylight-responsive operation.
Voltage options include 100V-277V standard operation and an optional 277V-480V configuration. Confirm the available branch voltage before installation because the two voltage configurations carry different warranty terms.
Longevity and Reliability
The rated L70 life is 244,000 hours. The LED system is intended for long operating cycles in exterior site lighting installations where fixture access may require lift equipment.
Surge protection is rated at 6kV line-line and 10kV line-earth. The listed operating temperature range is -22 degrees F to 113 degrees F.
Build Quality and Physical Characteristics
The housing is die-cast aluminum with a bronze finish. A polycarbonate lens protects the optic, and the fixture carries IP65 and IK08 ratings.
The fixture measures 24.61 inches long by 11.93 inches wide by 3.22 inches high and weighs 17 pounds. A 5-foot cord is included. The EPA rating is 2 and should be reviewed against the pole and mounting structure.
Where This Product Fits Best
This shoebox light fits higher-output exterior pole lighting layouts requiring broad site coverage or directed perimeter distribution. Its IP65 construction supports exposed outdoor installation conditions within the listed operating temperature range.
- parking lot lighting
- commercial site lighting
- area lighting
- roadway perimeter lighting
- dealership lighting
- industrial yard lighting
Type 5 optics suit open-area layouts, while Type 3 optics suit linear roadway perimeter lighting patterns. The yoke, arm, and slip fitter mounting options allow the fixture to match common pole-mounted configurations.
Installation and Long-Term Use
Mounting options include yoke, arm, and slip fitter configurations. The selected mount must match the pole, tenon, or mounting surface and support the fixture weight and EPA rating.
Installers should verify voltage, mounting orientation, optical distribution, and control accessories before final energization. Long-term service planning should account for fixture access, cord routing, and the selected 100V-277V or 277V-480V configuration.
How This Fixture Is Commonly Used
In parking lot lighting and commercial site lighting layouts, fixtures are mounted on poles and aimed or oriented to match the selected Type 5 or Type 3 distribution. Type 5 layouts generally place output around the pole, while Type 3 layouts direct output along roadway perimeter lighting runs.
Mounting height, target light levels, pole locations, and site geometry determine final fixture spacing. Higher output can reduce fixture count, but it can also require closer review of glare and uniformity.
Safety, Certifications, and Warranty
This fixture is ETL certified and DLC Premium certified. It is rated IP65 and IK08.
The 100V-277V configuration includes a 10-year warranty. The optional 277V-480V configuration includes a 5-year warranty.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is the light output of this shoebox area light?
A: The fixture produces 48,000 lumens while consuming 300 watts. Efficacy is 160 lumens per watt.
Q: Which optical distributions are available?
A: Type 5 is standard. Type 3 is available as an option.
Q: Can this fixture be dimmed?
A: No. This fixture is not dimmable.
Q: What factors affect the lighting layout?
A: Mounting height, target light levels, pole locations, site geometry, and the selected Type 5 or Type 3 distribution affect the layout. The supplied product data does not establish a specific spacing value or fixture quantity.
Application Questions and Clarification
Q: Is Type 5 or Type 3 distribution more appropriate for parking lot lighting?
A: Type 5 provides a broad distribution around the pole location. Type 3 directs output along a linear layout. The appropriate selection depends on the parking lot lighting layout and pole placement.
Q: What should be confirmed before using this fixture for roadway perimeter lighting?
A: Confirm the available voltage, mounting configuration, pole capability, fixture orientation, and selected optical distribution. The fixture is available in 100V-277V and optional 277V-480V configurations.
Q: Can a photocell be added for commercial site lighting?
A: An optional photocell is available. Motion sensor capability is also available.
