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

Product Overview

This 100 Watt LED Cobra Head Street Light is designed for exterior pole-mounted lighting along streets, roadways, and municipal corridors. It delivers 15,000 lumens at 5000K, providing a neutral white light suitable for vehicular and pedestrian visibility. The fixture is intended as a direct replacement for legacy 400W metal halide cobra head luminaires, supporting mounting heights typically found on local roads and neighborhood streets.

The housing is constructed from aluminum alloy with a polycarbonate lens and is rated IP65 for outdoor use. The fixture supports standard pole mounting and is compatible with 100-277V electrical systems. A Type 3 distribution provides lateral coverage for roadways and perimeter areas.

Core Performance and Output

This cobra head fixture outputs 15,000 lumens at 100 watts, achieving 150 lumens per watt. The Type 3 beam pattern is engineered for roadway and street lighting, distributing light outward and laterally to cover multi-lane streets or wide neighborhood roads. Color temperature is 5000K with a CRI of 70+, supporting clear visibility for drivers and pedestrians.

Electrical performance includes a power factor of 0.95 and THD below 20%. At mounting heights between 15 and 25 feet, the output is balanced for uniform coverage without excessive glare. At lower mounting heights, output may be higher than required for narrow residential lanes. At mounting heights above 30 feet, uniformity and intensity may decrease.

Adjustability and Control Options

The fixture is supplied with standard pole mounting hardware. An optional 90-degree slip fitter is available for installations requiring angle adjustment or compatibility with existing tenons. The fixture does not include integrated dimming or motion controls as standard.

Photocell or control system integration is possible through field-installed accessories, but is not included by default. The Type 3 distribution is fixed and not field-adjustable.

Longevity and Reliability

Rated for 70,000 hours of operation, this cobra head light is designed for long-term exterior use with minimal maintenance. The LED driver and diodes are thermally managed within the aluminum housing to support consistent output over time.

Ingress protection is IP65, preventing dust and water intrusion during normal weather conditions. The fixture is UL listed for safety and performance in outdoor environments. No routine re-lamping is required.

Build Quality and Physical Characteristics

The housing is formed from corrosion-resistant aluminum alloy with a polycarbonate lens. The fixture measures 18.67 by 10.8 inches and weighs 10 pounds, supporting single-person installation on standard poles. The gray finish is typical for municipal and roadway lighting applications.

All hardware is designed for outdoor exposure. The fixture is compatible with pole arms and tenons sized for cobra head luminaires. The lens is impact-resistant for routine street-side conditions.

Where This Product Fits Best

This cobra head street light is suited for exterior pole-mounted lighting in municipal, public, and private roadway environments. It is commonly installed on local streets, neighborhood roads, and campus roadways where moderate output and Type 3 distribution are required.

• street lighting
• roadway lighting
• municipal lighting
• neighborhood lighting
• campus roadway lighting
• private road lighting
• subdivision lighting
• parking lot perimeter lighting

Environmental characteristics include outdoor exposure, pole mounting, and operation in standard weather conditions. The IP65 rating supports use in rain and dust, but the fixture is not intended for marine or corrosive environments.

Installation and Long-Term Use

The fixture mounts directly to standard street light poles using included hardware. An optional slip fitter accessory is available for installations requiring a 90-degree mounting angle or compatibility with existing tenons. Electrical connection is made to 100-277V circuits, supporting both municipal and private infrastructure.

Routine maintenance is limited to periodic cleaning of the lens and inspection of mounting hardware. No lamp replacement is required. The fixture is designed for long-term operation with minimal service intervention.

How This Fixture Is Commonly Used

Typical mounting heights range from 15 to 25 feet, depending on the width of the roadway and required light levels. Fixtures are spaced to provide overlapping Type 3 distributions, supporting uniform coverage along straight roadways and intersections.

Spacing and layout are determined by pole placement and target illumination levels. Higher output reduces the number of fixtures needed per mile but may increase glare if installed at lower mounting heights. For best results, coordinate mounting height and spacing with local lighting standards.

Safety, Certifications, and Warranty

This cobra head street light is UL listed and IP65 rated. The fixture meets requirements for outdoor electrical safety and ingress protection. All components are suitable for exterior use in standard municipal and roadway environments.

The product is covered by a manufacturer?s warranty. Details are available upon request. No additional certifications are claimed beyond those listed.
