70 Watt LED Street Light | 12000 Lumens | 5000K | 100V-277V | Type 3 | Photocell Optional

Product Overview

This 70 watt LED street light delivers 12,000 lumens at 171 lumens per watt, replacing 150 watt metal halide fixtures. The fixture operates on 100V-277V input at 50-60Hz and is available in 3000K, 4000K, or 5000K color temperatures with a CRI of 70+.

The aluminum alloy housing measures 21 x 10 x 6.1 inches and weighs 12.5 pounds. A tempered glass lens with polycarbonate cover protects the optics. The fixture comes in black and carries an EPA rating of 1.6 for wind load calculations.

Type 3 distribution is standard, with Type 2, 4, and 5 distributions available as options. A photocell is available as an optional accessory. The fixture supports 1-10V dimming.

Where This Product Fits Best

This fixture is sized for roadway, parking lot, and pathway applications where 150 watt metal halide has been the standard. The 12,000 lumen output and Type 3 distribution pattern work well for standard street lighting layouts where light needs to be thrown to both sides of the pole with controlled forward projection.

The IP66 rating allows installation in locations exposed to rain, dust, and washdown conditions. The IK09 impact rating provides resistance to physical contact from debris or minor vandalism. Surge protection rated at 5kV line-to-line and 10kV line-to-earth handles electrical events common in outdoor distribution circuits.

The 1.6 EPA rating is relevant when calculating wind load on the pole. At 12.5 pounds, this fixture adds moderate weight to the pole structure.

Performance and Functional Considerations

At 171 lumens per watt, this fixture delivers high optical efficiency. The 70 watt draw represents a significant reduction from the 150 watt metal halide it replaces while maintaining comparable light output.

The 131,000 hour L70 lifespan means the fixture will retain at least 70 percent of initial output over that period under normal operating conditions. Color temperature options allow matching to existing site lighting or meeting specific project requirements.

The 100V-277V input range covers standard commercial and municipal electrical systems without requiring transformers or voltage matching. The 1-10V dimming capability allows integration with external dimming controls where variable output is needed.

Installation and Long-Term Use

This fixture mounts to a pole using standard arm or direct-mount configurations. The 12.5 pound weight and 21-inch length are manageable for single-installer handling during pole work.

The tempered glass and polycarbonate lens assembly resists weathering and maintains light transmission over time. The aluminum alloy housing dissipates heat effectively and resists corrosion in outdoor environments.

When a photocell is installed, the fixture operates automatically based on ambient light levels. The 5kV and 10kV surge protection reduces the likelihood of driver failure from lightning or switching transients on the power line.

How This Fixture Is Commonly Used

Facilities teams use this fixture as a direct replacement for aging metal halide street lights. The 1-10V dimming input allows connection to building management systems or standalone dimmers for after-hours output reduction.

The optional photocell enables dusk-to-dawn operation without timers or external controls. When alternate beam distributions are needed for different mounting heights or street widths, Type 2, 4, or 5 optics can be specified.

The black housing blends with most pole and arm finishes. Maintenance access is straightforward given the consolidated driver and LED module design typical of this fixture class.

Safety, Certifications, and Warranty

This fixture is ETL listed and rebate eligible. The IP66 rating means the fixture is protected against dust ingress and powerful water jets from any direction. The IK09 rating means the fixture withstands moderate mechanical impacts.

We provide a 5 year warranty on this fixture.
