100 Watt Solar Area Light | 20000 Lumens | 4000K | High Performance | 5 Year Warranty

Product Overview

The 100 Watt Solar Area Light is a self-contained LED fixture designed for exterior site lighting where grid power is unavailable or unreliable. It integrates a monocrystalline solar panel, battery, and LED array into a single unit. Typical use cases include street lighting, parking lot lighting, and pathway illumination in municipal, campus, or remote site environments. The fixture is sized for mounting heights between 16 and 25 feet, replacing legacy 400W metal halide systems in similar applications.

This model is engineered for continuous dusk-to-dawn operation with supplemental motion sensor control to extend battery life. The slip fitter mount supports direct installation onto standard round poles. The fixture is IP65 rated for outdoor exposure and constructed with an aluminum alloy housing and polycarbonate optics for durability in demanding environments.

Core Performance and Output

This solar area light delivers 20,000 lumens at 4000K with a Type 3 distribution, providing broad, even coverage for roadways, parking lots, and pathways. The system achieves 200 lumens per watt, supporting efficient off-grid operation. Output is consistent with a 400W metal halide replacement at typical mounting heights.

The integrated motion sensor enables adaptive output, reducing energy consumption during periods of low activity. Excessive output may occur if installed below 16 feet, and uniformity may decrease at mounting heights above 25 feet. The fixture is not dimmable and is optimized for standard area lighting layouts.

Adjustability and Control Options

The fixture includes a built-in motion sensor for occupancy-based control. When no motion is detected, the light operates at reduced output to conserve battery life. Upon motion detection, the fixture returns to full brightness. The control logic is preset and not field-adjustable.

No additional dimming or networked control options are available. The slip fitter mount allows for horizontal aiming adjustment during installation, but the fixture is not designed for vertical tilt or custom optics.

Longevity and Reliability

The LED array is rated for 100,000 hours (L70), supporting long-term operation with minimal maintenance. The monocrystalline solar panel and integrated battery are selected for extended service life in outdoor environments. The aluminum alloy housing resists corrosion and impact.

All components are sealed to IP65, protecting against dust and water ingress. The fixture is designed for continuous outdoor exposure, including rain and temperature fluctuations typical of exterior site lighting.

Build Quality and Physical Characteristics

The fixture measures 60 inches in length, 16.61 inches in width, and 10 inches in height, with a total weight of 53 pounds. The housing is constructed from aluminum alloy for structural integrity and heat dissipation. Polycarbonate optics provide impact resistance and UV stability.

The integrated solar panel is monocrystalline for high conversion efficiency. The slip fitter mount is compatible with standard round poles. The fixture?s EPA rating is 1.8, supporting installation in areas with moderate wind exposure.

Where This Product Fits Best

This solar area light is suited for exterior environments where grid power is limited or unavailable. It is commonly installed in municipal, campus, and remote locations requiring reliable, autonomous lighting. The fixture is appropriate for both new installations and retrofit projects where trenching for power is impractical.

• trail lighting
• campus lighting
• municipal lighting

The fixture is designed for outdoor use in environments exposed to rain, dust, and temperature variation. It is not intended for indoor or covered applications. Performance may be affected by prolonged shading or obstructions to the solar panel.

Installation and Long-Term Use

The fixture is supplied with a slip fitter mount for direct attachment to round poles. Installation requires secure pole mounting and unobstructed solar exposure. The integrated design eliminates the need for external wiring or trenching.

Routine maintenance is limited to periodic cleaning of the solar panel and inspection of mounting hardware. Battery replacement intervals depend on site conditions and usage patterns. The fixture is designed for minimal service requirements over its operational life.

How This Fixture Is Commonly Used

Typical mounting heights range from 16 to 25 feet, supporting area coverage for parking lots, roadways, and pathways. Fixtures are spaced to achieve uniform illumination, with spacing determined by site layout and required light levels. The Type 3 distribution is suited for perimeter and roadway applications.

Motion sensor control reduces energy use during periods of low activity, extending battery life and supporting dusk-to-dawn operation. Higher output levels allow for wider spacing but may increase glare if installed at lower mounting heights.

Safety, Certifications, and Warranty

This fixture is IP65 rated. The housing and optics are impact resistant and suitable for outdoor environments. The product includes a 5-year warranty covering manufacturing defects and component failure under normal use.

No additional safety certifications are specified for this model. The fixture is designed for safe operation in exterior, non-hazardous locations.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What is the recommended mounting height for this solar area light?

A: The recommended mounting height is between 16 and 25 feet for optimal coverage and uniformity.

Q: How does the motion sensor function in this fixture?

A: The motion sensor reduces light output during periods of inactivity and returns the fixture to full brightness when motion is detected.

Q: Is the fixture dimmable or compatible with external controls?

A: No, the fixture is not dimmable and does not support external control systems. The motion sensor logic is preset.

Q: What is the expected lifespan of the LED and solar components?

A: The LED array is rated for 100,000 hours (L70). The solar panel and battery are designed for long-term outdoor use, with battery replacement intervals depending on site conditions.

Q: How should fixtures be spaced for parking lot or street lighting applications?

A: Spacing depends on mounting height and required light levels. For 20,000 lumen output at 20 feet, typical spacing is 2 to 3 times the mounting height, adjusted for site layout and uniformity requirements.

Application Questions and Clarification

Q: Can this fixture be used for park or trail lighting in areas without grid power?

A: Yes, the fixture is designed for off-grid operation and is suitable for park and trail lighting where solar exposure is available.

Q: Is this product suitable for municipal or campus lighting projects?

A: Yes, it is commonly used for municipal and campus lighting where autonomous, low-maintenance operation is required.

Q: Are there any environmental limitations for installation?

A: The fixture requires direct solar exposure for reliable operation. Prolonged shading or obstructions will reduce performance.
