240 Watt LED Parking Shoebox Retrofit | 39600 Lumens | 1000 Watt Replacement | 5000K | 100V-277V | for 23 inch fixtures

Product Overview

This 240 Watt LED Parking Shoebox Retrofit is designed for direct replacement of 1000 Watt metal halide lamps in existing shoebox, area, and parking lot fixtures. It delivers high-output, daylight-white illumination at 5000K, suitable for exterior environments requiring significant light levels. The retrofit kit is engineered for use in 23-inch fixtures, supporting both surface and pole mounting in commercial and municipal settings.

Typical installations include parking lot lighting upgrades, car dealership lot retrofits, and large-scale area lighting conversions. The kit is built for straightforward integration into legacy housings, minimizing fixture replacement and downtime during energy upgrade or maintenance-driven projects.

Core Performance and Output

This retrofit kit produces 39,600 lumens at 240 watts, providing an efficacy of 165 lumens per watt. The Type 5 distribution delivers uniform, circular coverage suitable for open parking areas and large exterior spaces. The 5000K color temperature supports high-visibility applications where color rendering and clarity are important.

Performance is optimized for mounting heights typically ranging from 20 to 35 feet. At lower mounting heights, output may be excessive and require wider fixture spacing to avoid glare. The retrofit is non-dimmable and operates on 100V-277V input with a power factor of 0.90, supporting most commercial electrical systems.

Adjustability and Control Options

This retrofit kit is non-dimmable and does not include integrated controls. It is designed for on/off operation via existing circuit controls. The Type 5 beam angle is fixed and not field-adjustable, providing consistent distribution in standard shoebox and area light housings.

No occupancy sensors or daylight harvesting features are included. Control upgrades must be implemented at the circuit or fixture level if required for the application.

Longevity and Reliability

The retrofit kit is rated for 50,000 hours (L70), supporting long-term operation in demanding exterior environments. The LED array and driver are engineered for consistent output and minimal maintenance over the service life.

Thermal management is supported by the aluminum frame, which helps maintain performance in outdoor installations. The product is ETL certified and eligible for utility rebates where applicable.

Build Quality and Physical Characteristics

The kit features a white PCB and aluminum frame for durability and heat dissipation. The assembly measures 19.33 inches in length and 15.2 inches in width, with a total weight of 12 pounds. It is designed for integration into 23-inch shoebox or area light fixtures.

All components are built for exterior use, with robust construction to withstand typical parking lot and area lighting environments. The retrofit is compatible with both surface and pole mounting configurations as supported by the existing fixture housing.

Where This Product Fits Best

This retrofit kit is intended for exterior lighting upgrades where high-output, energy-efficient performance is required. It is most commonly used in large parking lots, dealership lots, and municipal retrofit programs where legacy metal halide fixtures are being converted to LED.

• fixture retrofit projects
• energy upgrade projects
• legacy fixture conversion
• maintenance-driven lighting upgrades
• parking lot lighting retrofit
• warehouse lighting retrofit
• tenant improvement projects
• municipal retrofit programs

Environmental suitability includes outdoor locations exposed to weather, with installation in enclosed or semi-enclosed shoebox or area light housings. The kit is not intended for use in hazardous, marine, or food processing environments.

Installation and Long-Term Use

Installation requires access to the existing fixture housing and may involve removal of legacy lamp and ballast components. The retrofit kit is designed for direct mounting in 23-inch fixtures, with surface or pole mounting supported by the original housing structure.

Long-term use is supported by robust thermal management and a 50,000-hour rated life. Maintenance is limited to periodic inspection and cleaning of the fixture lens and housing. No re-lamping is required over the service life of the retrofit kit.

How This Fixture Is Commonly Used

Retrofit kits of this output level are typically installed at mounting heights between 20 and 35 feet, with fixture spacing determined by site layout and required light levels. In parking lot retrofits, kits are often deployed on existing poles at intervals of 60 to 100 feet, depending on pole height and site geometry.

Higher output allows for reduced fixture count in some layouts, but may increase glare if spacing is not adjusted. Uniformity is best achieved with consistent mounting heights and careful alignment within the existing fixture housing.

Safety, Certifications, and Warranty

This retrofit kit is ETL certified. It is eligible for utility rebate programs where available. The product is designed to meet standard safety and performance requirements for exterior lighting retrofits.

Warranty coverage is provided by LED Lighting Supply. Refer to product documentation for specific warranty terms and conditions.
