Out of stock
Product Description
Solar post tops utilize a built-in photocell and microwave motion sensors to adjust brightness throughout the night based on activity in the area. The sensors can be configured using a remote control and are a critical component that allows the battery to conserve power and operate effectively throughout the night.
Keep in mind that the total operating time will vary depending on the season and the length of daylight.

Product Overview
This is a 10 watt solar post top light with a maximum output of 1700 lumens. It is designed to replace 100 watt metal halide fixtures in outdoor post top applications.
The fixture offers adjustable color temperature with selectable 3000K, 4000K, or 5000K settings. It uses a polycarbonate optic with a tempered glass cover and has a CRI of 70+.
The housing is constructed from aluminum alloy and incorporates a monocrystalline solar panel. The fixture is finished in bronze and weighs 20 lbs.
Dimensions are 20 by 17 inches. The fixture is supplied with a slip fitter mounting system and has an EPA rating of 0.2.
Where This Product Fits Best
This solar post top light is suited for outdoor pathways, walkways, parks, and perimeter areas where grid power is not available or where solar operation is preferred.
It is appropriate for locations that require dusk-to-dawn operation with adaptive brightness based on area activity. The built-in photocell and motion sensor support these requirements.
The IP66 rating allows use in environments exposed to rain, dust, and other outdoor conditions. The fixture is not dimmable and is intended for applications where fixed output is acceptable.
Color temperature adjustability supports use in areas where visual comfort or appearance is a consideration.
Performance and Functional Considerations
The fixture delivers 1700 lumens at 10 watts, providing an efficacy of 170 lumens per watt. It is designed to replace legacy 100 watt metal halide post tops.
Color temperature can be set to 3000K, 4000K, or 5000K as needed. The CRI is 70+, suitable for general outdoor area lighting.
The built-in photocell and microwave motion sensor manage brightness and battery conservation. The sensor can be configured using a remote control.
Actual nightly operating time will depend on seasonal daylight duration and site-specific solar exposure.
Installation and Long-Term Use
The fixture mounts using a slip fitter, compatible with standard post top installations. The weight is 20 lbs, and the EPA rating is 0.2, which should be considered when selecting poles for wind loading.
The aluminum alloy housing and tempered glass cover provide durability for outdoor use. The IP66 rating means the fixture can withstand direct exposure to rain and dust.
The monocrystalline solar panel is integrated into the fixture. No external wiring for power is required.
The rated lifespan is 100,000 hours (L70). Routine cleaning of the solar panel and lens will help maintain performance over time.
How This Fixture Is Commonly Used
After installation, you can set the color temperature to match the visual requirements of your site. This is done once during setup and does not require ongoing adjustment.
The fixture automatically manages on/off operation and brightness levels using the built-in photocell and motion sensor. No manual switching is needed during normal operation.
In day-to-day use, the fixture responds to ambient light and motion in the area, adjusting output to conserve battery life. This allows for consistent illumination throughout the night, with higher output when activity is detected.
Maintenance is limited to periodic cleaning of the solar panel and lens to ensure optimal charging and light output.
Safety, Certifications, and Warranty
This fixture is rated IP66. It is protected against heavy rain and dust ingress in outdoor environments.
