150 Watt LED Cobra Head Street Light | 22700 Lumens | 5000K | 100-277V | Type 3

Product Overview

This 150 Watt LED Cobra Head Street Light is designed for pole-mounted exterior lighting along roadways, streets, and municipal corridors. It delivers a Type 3 beam pattern suitable for wide roadway coverage and is intended for direct replacement of legacy 400W metal halide fixtures. Typical mounting heights range from 20 to 35 feet, supporting both primary and secondary roadways in urban and suburban environments.

The fixture operates at 100-277V and is built for continuous outdoor use. The housing is constructed from aluminum alloy with a polycarbonate lens, providing durability and resistance to weather exposure. This model is commonly installed on new or existing poles for municipal, campus, and private roadway lighting projects.

Core Performance and Output

This cobra head fixture outputs 22,700 lumens at 150 watts, achieving an efficacy of 151 lumens per watt. The 5000K color temperature provides a neutral white light, supporting visibility and color recognition for vehicular and pedestrian traffic. The Type 3 distribution is engineered for roadway and street applications, offering a lateral spread that covers multi-lane streets and road edges.

Electrical performance includes a power factor of 0.95 and total harmonic distortion below 20%. At mounting heights below 18 feet, output may be excessive for narrow roadways or pedestrian-only paths. Uniformity may decrease at mounting heights above 35 feet, depending on pole spacing and site geometry.

Adjustability and Control Options

This fixture is supplied with a fixed Type 3 optical distribution and is not field-adjustable for beam angle. Standard operation is on/off via circuit control. Dimming and adaptive control options are not integrated in this model. Photocell or occupancy sensor integration requires external components and compatible pole hardware.

For sites requiring adaptive lighting or networked controls, confirm compatibility with external control systems prior to installation. The fixture is designed for straightforward operation in standard roadway lighting circuits.

Longevity and Reliability

The LED array and driver are rated for 70,000 hours of L70 operation, supporting long-term deployment with minimal maintenance. The IP65 enclosure protects against dust and water ingress, suitable for exposed outdoor environments and routine pole washing.

Thermal management is passive, relying on the aluminum housing for heat dissipation. No active cooling or moving parts are present. The fixture is designed for continuous dusk-to-dawn operation in a range of climates, with no scheduled re-lamping required.

Build Quality and Physical Characteristics

The housing is constructed from corrosion-resistant aluminum alloy with a gray finish. The lens is polycarbonate, providing impact resistance and UV stability. The fixture measures 18.7 by 10.8 inches and weighs 10 pounds, supporting single-person pole-top installation with standard mounting hardware.

Ingress protection is rated at IP65. The fixture is designed for pole mounting and is compatible with standard cobra head arms and brackets. All hardware is designed for outdoor exposure and long-term reliability in municipal and campus environments.

Where This Product Fits Best

This cobra head street light is intended for exterior pole-mounted lighting along public and private roadways, municipal corridors, and neighborhood streets. It is also suitable for campus and subdivision roads, as well as parking lot perimeters where a Type 3 distribution is required.

• parking lot perimeter lighting

The fixture is designed for environments requiring consistent, wide-area illumination with minimal maintenance. It is suitable for installation in areas exposed to rain, dust, and temperature fluctuations.

Installation and Long-Term Use

This fixture mounts directly to standard pole arms using included hardware. Installation is typically performed at heights between 20 and 35 feet, depending on roadway width and required coverage. The 10-pound weight allows for single-person handling, but pole-top work should follow standard safety protocols.

Routine maintenance is limited to periodic cleaning of the lens and inspection of mounting hardware. No lamp changes are required. For sites with frequent pole washing or exposure to de-icing chemicals, verify that pole and arm materials are compatible with the fixture?s aluminum housing and finish.

How This Fixture Is Commonly Used

Common deployment includes mounting on steel or aluminum poles along primary and secondary roadways, municipal streets, and campus drives. Typical pole spacing ranges from 80 to 120 feet, depending on required light levels and uniformity. The Type 3 distribution supports staggered or single-sided layouts for multi-lane streets.

At higher mounting heights, fewer fixtures may be required, but uniformity may decrease if pole spacing is not adjusted. For narrow roads or pedestrian paths, output may be higher than necessary and glare control should be considered.

Safety, Certifications, and Warranty

This fixture is UL listed and IP65 rated. It meets requirements for outdoor wet location use. The product is eligible for utility rebate programs where applicable.

Standard warranty coverage applies. Refer to documentation for terms and conditions.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What is the recommended mounting height for this cobra head street light?

A: Typical mounting heights range from 20 to 35 feet, depending on roadway width and desired coverage.

Q: Can this fixture be used with a photocell or motion sensor?

A: The fixture does not include integrated controls, but it is compatible with external photocells or sensors when installed with appropriate pole hardware.

Q: What is the expected lifespan of the LEDs and driver?

A: The fixture is rated for 70,000 hours of L70 operation under normal conditions.

Q: Is this fixture suitable for use in coastal or high-corrosion environments?

A: The aluminum alloy housing provides corrosion resistance for standard outdoor use. For highly corrosive environments, additional site-specific measures may be required.

Q: How should I plan pole spacing for uniform roadway lighting?

A: Pole spacing typically ranges from 80 to 120 feet, but should be confirmed based on site geometry, mounting height, and required light levels.

Application Questions and Clarification

Q: Is this cobra head light appropriate for parking lot lighting?

A: This fixture is best suited for parking lot perimeter lighting rather than general parking area coverage, due to its Type 3 roadway distribution.

Q: Can this fixture be used for pathway or pedestrian-only lighting?

A: The output may be excessive for narrow pathways or pedestrian-only areas. Consider lower output fixtures for those applications.

Q: Does the fixture support dimming or adaptive lighting controls?

A: Dimming is not integrated. Adaptive controls require external components and compatible pole hardware.
