300 Watt LED Shoebox Area Light | 39000 Lumens | 5000K | 100-277V | White

Product Overview

This 300 watt LED shoebox area light produces 39,000 lumens at 5000K with a Type 3 distribution pattern. The fixture replaces 1000 watt metal halide luminaires and operates on 100-277V input with 1-10V dimming capability.

The die-cast aluminum housing measures 27 inches long by 13.11 inches wide by 6.61 inches tall and weighs 17 pounds. A polycarbonate lens covers the LED array. The fixture is available in white and mounts via arm or slip fitter.

Rated lifespan is 50,000 hours at L70. The fixture carries an EPA rating of 2.1, which affects wind load calculations on poles and mounting structures.

Where This Product Fits Best

The Type 3 optic throws light forward and to the sides, which suits roadway edges, pathways, and parking rows where fixtures are positioned along the perimeter rather than centered over the area. This distribution minimizes backlight behind the pole while pushing coverage outward.

At 39,000 lumens, this fixture addresses large-scale area lighting where 1000 watt metal halide poles are being converted. Typical installations include parking lots, storage yards, loading docks, and perimeter security lighting around commercial and industrial properties.

The IP65 rating and operating temperature range of -40°F to 113°F allow installation in exposed outdoor environments subject to rain, dust, and temperature extremes.

Performance and Functional Considerations

The fixture delivers 130 lumens per watt at full output. CRI is 70+, which is adequate for parking and security applications where color accuracy is secondary to visibility and coverage.

Power factor is 0.9 with THD at 15%, both within acceptable ranges for commercial electrical systems. The 100-277V input covers standard commercial voltages without requiring external transformers or voltage matching.

The 1-10V dimming input allows integration with external dimming controls or photocells where reduced output is needed during low-activity periods. Dimming response and minimum dim level depend on the connected control device.

Installation and Long-Term Use

The fixture accepts arm or slip fitter mounting, which covers most pole-top and wall-arm configurations used in area lighting. The 2.1 EPA rating must be factored into pole selection and wind load calculations, particularly in high-wind zones or on taller poles.

At 17 pounds, the fixture requires secure mounting hardware and may need two-person handling during installation depending on pole height and lift equipment. All connections should be made with the circuit de-energized.

The die-cast aluminum housing resists corrosion in outdoor environments. The 50,000-hour rated lifespan at L70 means the fixture retains at least 70% of initial output at that point, which supports extended maintenance intervals compared to HID sources.

How This Fixture Is Commonly Used

Once installed, this fixture operates as a direct replacement for 1000 watt metal halide area lights. The instant-on LED output eliminates the restrike delay associated with HID sources, which matters in applications where power interruptions occur or where lights are switched rather than run continuously.

The 1-10V dimming capability allows you to reduce output during overnight hours or low-traffic periods when connected to a compatible dimmer or building automation system. This is commonly used in parking facilities and secured perimeters where full output is needed only during peak activity.

The Type 3 distribution is directional, so fixture orientation during installation determines where light is thrown. Adjustments to aim are made at the mounting hardware level, not within the fixture itself.

Safety, Certifications, and Warranty

This fixture is UL listed and rebate eligible. The IP65 rating means the fixture is protected against dust ingress and water jets from any direction, suitable for exposed outdoor installations.

We provide a 5-year warranty on this fixture.
