80 Watt Solar Area Light | 16000 Lumens | 4000K | High Performance | 5 Year Warranty

Product Overview

This 80 watt solar area light delivers 16,000 lumens at 4000K color temperature with a CRI of 70+. The fixture operates at 200 lumens per watt and serves as a direct replacement for 400 watt metal halide area lights.

The housing is constructed from aluminum alloy with a monocrystalline solar panel integrated into the unit. Polycarbonate optics shape the output into a Type 3 distribution pattern. The fixture measures 55 inches long by 16.61 inches wide by 10 inches high and weighs 48 pounds.

A motion sensor is included with this fixture. Rated lifespan is 100,000 hours at L70.

Where This Product Fits Best

This solar area light is built for outdoor locations where grid power is unavailable, impractical, or cost-prohibitive to install. Parking lots, pathways, perimeter roads, storage yards, and remote access points are common placement scenarios.

The Type 3 beam pattern produces a forward-throw distribution suited for roadway-style coverage along linear paths or rectangular areas. This optic type works well for mounting along the edge of a space rather than centered within it.

With an EPA rating of 1.8, pole and mounting hardware must be selected to accommodate wind load. IP65 ingress protection allows installation in locations exposed to rain, dust, and outdoor weather conditions without requiring additional enclosures.

Performance and Functional Considerations

At 16,000 lumens from 80 watts, this fixture delivers output comparable to a 400 watt metal halide while drawing no grid power. The 4000K color temperature provides a neutral white appearance commonly used in commercial outdoor applications.

The monocrystalline solar panel is integrated into the housing and charges the onboard battery system during daylight hours. Performance depends on geographic location, panel orientation, and seasonal sun exposure. Areas with limited direct sunlight may experience reduced runtime.

This fixture does not support dimming. Output is fixed at full power when the light is active.

Installation and Long-Term Use

The fixture mounts via slip fitter, which accepts standard round poles. At 48 pounds, the unit requires appropriate structural support and may need two people for safe handling during installation.

IP65 protection allows the fixture to withstand water spray and dust ingress in typical outdoor environments. The aluminum alloy housing resists corrosion over time.

The 100,000-hour rated lifespan at L70 represents long-term LED performance under normal operating conditions. Solar panel and battery longevity will vary based on environmental exposure and charge cycles.

How This Fixture Is Commonly Used

Once installed, this fixture operates autonomously without connection to utility power. The integrated solar panel charges during the day, and the light activates after dark based on ambient light conditions and the included motion sensor.

Facility operators typically position these fixtures in areas where trenching for electrical service would be disruptive or expensive. Remote lots, overflow parking, service roads, and perimeter fencing are frequent applications.

The Type 3 optic throws light forward and to the sides, making it well-suited for edge-mounted positions where coverage needs to extend outward rather than directly below the pole.

Safety, Certifications, and Warranty

This fixture carries an IP65 rating. It can tolerate water jets and dust exposure in outdoor installations.

LED Lighting Supply backs this product with a 5-year warranty.
