310 Watt LED Shoebox | 47430 Lumens | 5000K | 277-480V

Product Overview

This 310 Watt LED Shoebox fixture is designed for exterior area and site lighting where high output and uniformity are required. It delivers 47,430 lumens at 5000K, supporting mounting heights typical of large parking lots, commercial perimeters, and outdoor sports courts. The fixture operates on 277-480V and is suitable for both new installations and metal halide replacement projects where 1000W HID lamps were previously used.

The housing is die-cast aluminum with a polycarbonate lens, rated IP65 for outdoor environments. Multiple mounting options?wall, yoke, arm, or slip fitter?support a range of pole and surface installations. This model is commonly deployed in commercial sites, parking lots, and sports courts requiring robust, high-output lighting.

Core Performance and Output

This fixture outputs 47,430 lumens at 310 watts, providing an efficacy of 153 lumens per watt. The Type 3 distribution is designed for wide area coverage, supporting uniform illumination across large open spaces and perimeter zones. The 5000K color temperature delivers neutral white light suitable for exterior visibility and security.

Electrical performance includes a power factor above 0.90 and THD below 15%. The fixture is non-dimming and includes 10kV surge protection. At mounting heights below 18 feet, output may be excessive and increase glare; optimal performance is achieved at 20?35 foot mounting heights. Wider pole spacing may reduce uniformity at the far edges of large lots or courts.

Adjustability and Control Options

This shoebox fixture supports multiple mounting configurations: wall, yoke, arm, or slip fitter. These options allow for direct pole mounting, wall mounting, or retrofitting onto existing tenons. The fixture is compatible with an optional photocell for dusk-to-dawn operation, but does not support dimming or advanced controls.

Beam distribution is fixed at Type 3, which is suitable for area and perimeter lighting but does not provide forward-throw or asymmetric patterns. No field-adjustable optics are included.

Longevity and Reliability

The fixture is rated for 100,000 hours (L70), supporting long-term deployment in demanding exterior environments. The die-cast aluminum housing and polycarbonate lens provide resistance to impact and weather exposure. Operating temperature range is -40°F to 113°F, suitable for most North American climates.

Integrated 10kV surge protection guards against voltage spikes from utility events or lightning. The fixture is covered by a 5-year warranty.

Build Quality and Physical Characteristics

The housing is constructed from die-cast aluminum with a bronze finish. The lens is polycarbonate for impact resistance and UV stability. The fixture measures 22 inches high by 11.8 inches wide by 3 inches deep and weighs 11.3 lbs, supporting single-person installation on standard poles or brackets.

IP65 rating ensures protection against dust and water jets. The EPA rating is 1.7, which should be considered when specifying pole and mounting hardware for wind load compliance.

Where This Product Fits Best

This fixture is designed for large exterior sites requiring high-output, uniform lighting. It is commonly used in commercial parking lots, perimeter roadways, and outdoor sports courts. The output and distribution pattern are suitable for both new construction and retrofit projects replacing 1000W metal halide fixtures.

• parking lot lighting
• area lighting
• commercial site lighting
• roadway perimeter lighting
• tennis court lighting
• pickleball court lighting
• horse arena lighting
• dealership lighting

Environments with frequent exposure to rain, dust, or temperature swings are supported by the IP65 rating and wide operating temperature range. The fixture is not intended for interior use or locations requiring dimming or advanced controls.

Installation and Long-Term Use

The fixture supports wall, yoke, arm, and slip fitter mounting, allowing for direct installation on square or round poles, building facades, or existing tenons. Weight and size allow for single-person handling, but pole installations may require two-person teams for safety. The EPA rating of 1.7 should be matched with appropriate pole strength for wind load compliance.

Routine maintenance is minimal due to the sealed housing and long LED lifespan. Photocell accessory can be field-installed for dusk-to-dawn operation. Ensure all mounting hardware is rated for exterior use and compatible with the fixture?s mounting options.

How This Fixture Is Commonly Used

Typical mounting heights range from 20 to 35 feet, depending on site requirements and desired light levels. In parking lots, fixtures are spaced 3 to 5 pole heights apart for uniform coverage. On sports courts, mounting at 20?30 feet provides even illumination with minimal glare.

Higher output allows for wider pole spacing, reducing fixture count, but may increase glare if installed at lower heights or in small areas. Layouts should be confirmed with photometric analysis for critical applications.

Safety, Certifications, and Warranty

This fixture is UL listed and DLC Premium qualified. It is IP65 rated for wet locations and includes 10kV surge protection. The housing and lens are impact resistant and suitable for exterior environments.

Warranty coverage is 5 years from date of installation. All certifications and ratings are documented for code compliance and utility rebate eligibility.
