100 Watt LED Cobra Head Street Light | 15000 Lumens | 5000K | 100-277V | Type 3

Product Overview

This 100 watt LED cobra head street light delivers 15,000 lumens at 5000K color temperature with a Type 3 distribution pattern. The fixture operates on 100-277V input and serves as a direct replacement for 400 watt metal halide street lights.

The aluminum alloy housing with PC lens measures 18.67 x 10.8 inches and weighs 10 pounds. A gray finish is standard. The fixture mounts directly to poles using the integrated arm or with an optional 90-degree slip fitter accessory that accepts poles up to 3.13 inches in diameter.

Where This Product Fits Best

The Type 3 beam distribution throws light forward and to the sides, which makes this fixture appropriate for roadways, parking lot drive aisles, and pathways where you need coverage across a defined travel lane without excessive backlight. This pattern is common in municipal street lighting and commercial site lighting along property edges.

At 15,000 lumens, this output level handles mid-range mounting heights typical of parking lots and secondary roadways. The 5000K color temperature provides a cool white appearance that supports visibility in outdoor security and traffic applications.

Performance and Functional Considerations

The fixture produces 150 lumens per watt, which represents strong efficiency for this output class. CRI is rated at 70+, which is standard for street and area lighting where color accuracy is secondary to visibility and coverage.

Electrical characteristics include a power factor of 0.95 and total harmonic distortion under 20%. The fixture accepts 50-60Hz input. These values support clean integration with utility infrastructure and building electrical systems.

Rated lifespan is 70,000 hours. This figure represents L70 lumen maintenance, meaning the fixture will retain at least 70% of initial output at that point.

Installation and Long-Term Use

The standard configuration mounts directly to a pole arm. For installations requiring a different orientation, the optional MLLG-WD-COBRA-SF slip fitter allows 90-degree mounting on round poles with an inside diameter of up to 3.13 inches.

IP65 rating allows the fixture to be used in outdoor environments where it will be exposed to rain, snow, dust, and hose-down conditions. The housing resists water jets and keeps dust out of the optical chamber.

At 10 pounds, the fixture is manageable for single-person installation on standard pole hardware. The 100-277V operating range accommodates most commercial and municipal electrical infrastructure without requiring voltage-specific models.

How This Fixture Is Commonly Used

Facilities replacing aging 400 watt metal halide cobra heads typically install this fixture as a one-for-one swap. The reduced wattage and maintained output level cut energy use significantly while preserving or improving light levels on the ground.

The Type 3 distribution is relied upon for consistent coverage along streets and parking aisles. Once installed, the fixture requires no aiming or adjustment beyond pole positioning. Light output is fixed at 100 watts and 15,000 lumens with no field-adjustable settings.

Maintenance is limited to periodic lens cleaning and visual inspection of the housing and mounting hardware. The long rated lifespan reduces lamp replacement cycles compared to legacy HID systems.
