300 Watt LED Shoebox Area Light | 40200 Lumens | 5000K | 100-277V | Type 3 | Silver Housing

Product Overview

This 300 watt LED shoebox area light produces 40,200 lumens at 134 lumens per watt, delivering output equivalent to a 1000 watt metal halide fixture. The 5000K color temperature provides neutral white light suited for outdoor area and roadway applications. The fixture operates on 100-277V input with a power factor of 0.9 and THD of 15%.

The die-cast aluminum housing in silver finish measures 23.25 inches by 11.875 inches by 4.125 inches and weighs 15.1 pounds. A polycarbonate lens protects the LED array while maintaining optical clarity. The fixture ships with Type 3 distribution as standard, with Type 2, Type 4, and Type 5 distributions available as options.

Mounting options include arm mount, slip fitter, and trunnion configurations. The EPA rating of 2 defines the effective projected area for wind load calculations when specifying pole and mounting hardware.

Where This Product Fits Best

This fixture is sized for parking lots, roadways, pathways, and outdoor areas where 1000 watt metal halide fixtures are currently installed or specified. The 40,200 lumen output and Type 3 distribution pattern direct light across rectangular coverage zones typical of parking lot lanes and roadway corridors.

The 100-277V operating range covers standard commercial voltage systems without requiring external transformers. The operating temperature range of -40°F to 122°F supports year-round outdoor operation in most North American climates. IP66 rating and 10kV surge protection address exposure to rain, dust, and electrical transients common in outdoor pole-mounted installations.

Performance and Functional Considerations

At 300 watts and 40,200 lumens, this fixture produces roughly 70% energy reduction compared to the 1000 watt metal halide it replaces while maintaining equivalent light output. The 50,000-hour L70 lifespan indicates the point at which output will have depreciated to 70% of initial lumens under normal operation.

The 1-10V dimming capability allows integration with external dimming controls where reduced output is required during low-activity periods. CRI of 80+ provides color rendering suitable for general outdoor visibility and security applications. The 50-60Hz frequency compatibility supports both domestic and international electrical systems within the stated voltage range.

Installation and Long-Term Use

Three mounting configurations are supported: arm mount, slip fitter, and trunnion. Slip fitter mounts accept standard 2-3/8 inch tenon poles. Arm and trunnion mounts accommodate wall, bracket, or adjustable pole configurations depending on site requirements. At 15.1 pounds, the fixture weight is within typical handling limits for single-installer pole work with appropriate lift equipment.

The EPA rating of 2 must be factored into pole and foundation design to ensure adequate wind load capacity. The 10kV surge protection is integrated, providing baseline protection against line transients and nearby lightning-induced surges without requiring separate suppression devices at the fixture.

How This Fixture Is Commonly Used

Facilities typically deploy this fixture on 20 to 35 foot poles in parking areas, access roads, and perimeter zones where wide, forward-throw distribution is needed. The Type 3 pattern pushes light outward with minimal backlight, making it appropriate for pole placement along property lines or roadway edges where light trespass is a concern.

The 1-10V dimming input allows connection to photocells, timers, or building automation systems for scheduled or sensor-based output reduction. Maintenance access requires pole work with bucket truck or similar equipment. The polycarbonate lens can be cleaned with standard non-abrasive methods during routine inspections.

Safety, Certifications, and Warranty

This fixture is UL listed and rebate eligible. The IP66 rating confirms the fixture is protected against dust ingress and high-pressure water jets from any direction. The 10kV surge rating provides protection against transient voltage events up to that threshold.

We provide a 5-year warranty on this fixture.
