300 Watt LED Shoebox Area Light | 48000 Lumens | 5000K | 100V-277V | 10 Year Warranty

Product Overview

The 300 Watt LED Shoebox Area Light is designed for exterior site and area lighting where high output and uniformity are required. This fixture delivers 48,000 lumens at 5000K, providing a direct replacement for 1000W metal halide systems. Typical mounting heights range from 25 to 40 feet, supporting large parking lots, commercial sites, and roadway perimeters.

With a die-cast aluminum housing, IP65 and IK08 ratings, and multiple mounting options, this fixture is suitable for new installations or retrofit projects on poles or building perimeters. The fixture supports yoke, arm, or slip fitter mounting, and can be configured with motion sensors or an optional photocell for control flexibility.

Core Performance and Output

This fixture outputs 48,000 lumens at 300 watts, achieving 160 lumens per watt. The standard Type 5 distribution provides wide, uniform coverage for open areas, with a Type 3 optic available for perimeter or roadway applications. The fixture operates on 100V-277V input, with a high power factor above 0.92 and total harmonic distortion below 15%.

At mounting heights above 40 feet, uniformity may decrease and additional fixtures may be required for consistent coverage. Output is excessive for small lots or low mounting heights below 20 feet.

Adjustability and Control Options

The fixture supports yoke, arm, or slip fitter mounting, allowing for precise aiming and compatibility with a range of pole and wall configurations. Motion sensor integration is standard, with an optional photocell available for dusk-to-dawn operation. No onboard dimming is provided.

Beam angle selection between Type 5 and Type 3 optics allows adaptation to site layout and coverage requirements. Control accessories are field installable and do not require fixture modification.

Longevity and Reliability

L70 rated life is 244,000 hours, supporting long-term operation in demanding exterior environments. The fixture includes surge protection rated at 6kV line-line and 10kV line-earth, reducing risk of failure from electrical events.

Operating temperature range is -22°F to 113°F, suitable for most North American climates. The fixture is covered by a 10-year warranty for 100-277V models and a 5-year warranty for 277-480V models.

Build Quality and Physical Characteristics

The housing is die-cast aluminum with a bronze finish, providing corrosion resistance and impact protection. The polycarbonate lens is IK08 rated for impact resistance. The fixture measures 24.61 inches long, 11.93 inches wide, and 3.22 inches high, with a weight of 17 lbs.

IP65 rating ensures protection against dust and water jets. The fixture includes a 5-foot cord for wiring flexibility. EPA rating is 2, suitable for standard pole mounting in most wind zones.

Where This Product Fits Best

This fixture is intended for large exterior sites requiring high-output, uniform lighting. It is commonly installed in:

• parking lot lighting
• area lighting
• commercial site lighting
• roadway perimeter lighting
• dealership lighting
• industrial yard lighting
• municipal site lighting
• apartment complex lighting

Environmental characteristics include resistance to rain, dust, and moderate impact. Not suitable for marine or corrosive environments without additional protection.

Installation and Long-Term Use

The fixture supports yoke, arm, or slip fitter mounting for compatibility with square or round poles and wall surfaces. Installation requires secure attachment to a structural support and proper wiring to site voltage. The 5-foot cord allows flexibility in connection location.

Routine maintenance is minimal due to the sealed housing and long LED life. Periodic inspection of mounting hardware and electrical connections is recommended, especially in high-wind or high-traffic areas.

How This Fixture Is Commonly Used

Typical mounting heights are 25 to 40 feet, with spacing determined by site layout and required light levels. For parking lots, fixtures are often spaced 3 to 5 pole heights apart, depending on uniformity requirements and pole placement.

Higher output can reduce the total number of fixtures needed, but may increase glare if not properly aimed or shielded. Type 5 optics are used for open areas, while Type 3 optics are selected for perimeters or roadway edges.

Safety, Certifications, and Warranty

This fixture is ETL and DLC Premium certified. It is rated IP65 for water and dust ingress and IK08 for impact resistance. Surge protection is built in. The warranty is 10 years for 100-277V models and 5 years for 277-480V models.

All certifications and ratings are documented for code compliance and site acceptance.
