300 / 350 / 400 / 450 / 500 Watt Adjustable LED Shoebox Area Light | 48000 to 80000 Lumens | Type 3 | 3000K / 4000K / 5000K | 100-277V

Product Overview

This LED shoebox area light is designed for large-scale exterior site lighting where high output and uniform coverage are required. The fixture supports adjustable wattage from 300W to 500W, delivering up to 80,000 lumens. It is suitable for mounting on poles in parking lots, commercial sites, and perimeter roadways, replacing 1000W or 1500W metal halide fixtures. The slip fitter mount provides compatibility with standard pole arms and tenons for straightforward installation in retrofit or new construction projects.

Color temperature is selectable between 3000K, 4000K, and 5000K to match site requirements or local ordinances. The Type 3 distribution is engineered for wide area coverage, making this fixture appropriate for open parking areas and perimeter lighting at commercial properties.

Core Performance and Output

This fixture offers five selectable wattage settings: 300W, 350W, 400W, 450W, and 500W. Output ranges from 48,000 to 80,000 lumens, with an efficacy of 160 lumens per watt. The Type 3 optic provides lateral distribution for rectangular coverage patterns, supporting pole spacing typical of parking lots and large exterior sites. 0-10V dimming is standard for integration with lighting controls or energy management systems.

At lower mounting heights, output may be excessive and can result in increased glare or over-illumination. For mounting heights above 35 feet, uniformity may decrease if pole spacing is not adjusted accordingly. The fixture operates on 100-277V input and maintains consistent performance across the voltage range.

Adjustability and Control Options

Both wattage and color temperature are field adjustable, allowing adaptation to site-specific requirements or future changes in lighting needs. The fixture supports 0-10V dimming for use with occupancy sensors, daylight harvesting, or scheduling controls. This flexibility supports compliance with energy codes and site lighting ordinances.

Adjustments are made via onboard switches located within the housing. No additional tools are required for setting wattage or color temperature during installation or maintenance.

Longevity and Reliability

The fixture is rated for 50,000 hours (L70), supporting long-term operation in demanding exterior environments. The die-cast aluminum housing and polycarbonate lens provide resistance to impact and weather exposure. The IP65 rating ensures protection against dust and water jets from any direction.

Operating temperature range is -4°F to 113°F, suitable for most North American climates. The fixture is UL listed and meets requirements for exterior site lighting in commercial and industrial settings.

Build Quality and Physical Characteristics

The housing is constructed from die-cast aluminum with a bronze finish. The polycarbonate lens is impact resistant and designed for optical clarity. The fixture measures 24 x 13 x 2.6 inches and weighs 18 lbs, supporting installation on standard pole arms and tenons using the included slip fitter mount.

All wiring and adjustment points are accessible from the rear of the fixture. The design supports both retrofit and new pole installations. The fixture is sealed to prevent ingress of dust and water, supporting reliable operation in exposed locations.

Where This Product Fits Best

This LED shoebox area light is intended for large exterior sites requiring high output and wide coverage. It is most commonly installed in:

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

The fixture is suitable for outdoor environments exposed to weather, vehicle traffic, and public use. The IP65 rating and robust construction support use in locations with frequent rain, dust, or temperature fluctuations.

Installation and Long-Term Use

The fixture is supplied with a slip fitter mount for direct installation on round or square pole tenons. All adjustments for wattage and color temperature are made before energizing the fixture. The 18 lb weight is within the capacity of standard steel or aluminum poles rated for area lighting.

Routine maintenance is limited to periodic cleaning of the lens and inspection of mounting hardware. The sealed housing minimizes internal dust accumulation and water ingress. For sites with high ambient dust or debris, more frequent cleaning may be required to maintain optical performance.

How This Fixture Is Commonly Used

Typical mounting heights range from 20 to 40 feet, depending on site layout and required light levels. Pole spacing is generally 3 to 5 times the mounting height for uniform coverage in parking lots and open areas. For sports courts or dealership lots, closer spacing may be used to increase vertical illumination or highlight display areas.

Higher wattage settings reduce the number of fixtures needed but may increase glare if not shielded or aimed properly. Color temperature selection is often determined by site preference or local code requirements.

Safety, Certifications, and Warranty

This fixture is UL listed and IP65 rated. It is eligible for utility rebates where applicable. The product is covered by a 5-year warranty from the date of installation. All electrical and mechanical components are designed for exterior site lighting applications.

Follow all local codes and pole manufacturer guidelines for mounting height, wind load, and fixture weight. Ensure all wiring is performed by qualified personnel.
