40 Watt Solar Area Light | 8000 Lumens | 4000K | High Performance | 5 Year Warranty
This 40W solar area light suits parking lots and street lighting where a Type 3 distribution, slip-fitter mounting, and solar operation are appropriate. It delivers 8,000 lumens at 4000K while replacing 250W metal halide, with IP65 protection, aluminum alloy housing, and polycarbonate optics for outdoor installations. The motion sensor, MPPT controller, LiFePO4 battery, and 5-year warranty add practical value for sites needing self-contained area lighting.

Product Overview
This 40-watt solar area light produces 8,000 lumens at 4000K for exterior lighting where solar operation is required. It uses a monocrystalline solar panel, LiFePO4 battery, and MPPT solar charge controller.
The fixture has a Type 3 distribution, polycarbonate optics, aluminum alloy housing, slip fitter mount, and integrated motion sensor. Its 250-watt metal halide replacement rating supports conversion of existing exterior lighting locations.
Core Performance and Output
The fixture delivers 8,000 lumens at 200 lumens per watt with a 70+ CRI. The 4000K color temperature provides a neutral white appearance for street lighting, pathway lighting, remote site lighting, and parking lot lighting.
A Type 3 distribution directs light outward along a roadway or site edge pattern. Output can be excessive where mounting heights are low or where close fixture spacing is required.
The 63-watt monocrystalline solar panel charges the 30.2 Wh LiFePO4 battery through an MPPT controller. Charging time is listed at 9 hours, with normal mode operation of 8 hours and smart mode operation of 3 to 4 days.
Adjustability and Control Options
This solar area light does not provide standard dimming. It includes timer and dimming control within the solar operating system.
The integrated motion sensor can support operation based on detected activity. Control behavior should be reviewed against the required operating schedule and solar charging conditions.
Longevity and Reliability
The rated lifespan is 100,000 L70 hours. The fixture includes a 5-year warranty.
The LiFePO4 battery, MPPT controller, and monocrystalline panel are integral parts of solar operation. Battery charging time and available operating time should be considered when planning daily lighting operation.
Build Quality and Physical Characteristics
The housing is aluminum alloy with polycarbonate optics and an integrated monocrystalline solar panel. The fixture is IP65 rated.
Overall dimensions are 48.2 x 16.6 x 10 inches, and fixture weight is 36 pounds. The EPA rating is 1.8.
The slip fitter mount is intended for slip fitter mounting configurations. Mounting support must accommodate the fixture weight and EPA rating.
Where This Product Fits Best
This solar area light fits exterior locations that need independent solar operation and a Type 3 roadway-style distribution. It is suited to locations where routing line voltage is not part of the installation approach.
- street lighting
- parking lot lighting
- remote site lighting
- pathway lighting
- off-grid roadway lighting
- municipal lighting
The IP65 construction supports exterior exposure. Solar charging availability, required operating duration, mounting structure, and lighting layout remain key site conditions.
Installation and Long-Term Use
The slip fitter mount requires a compatible mounting arrangement that supports the 36-pound fixture and 1.8 EPA rating. Position the solar panel where it can receive the charging conditions required for solar operation.
Installation layout should account for the Type 3 distribution, motion sensor coverage needs, and timer settings. Long-term operation depends on maintaining the solar panel, battery system, and optical surfaces.
How This Fixture Is Commonly Used
For street lighting and off-grid roadway lighting, fixtures are typically arranged to direct the Type 3 distribution along the travel path. Mounting height is determined by the site layout, required light levels, and available mounting structure.
For parking lot lighting, pathway lighting, remote site lighting, and municipal lighting, placement follows travel routes, site edges, and activity areas. Higher output can reduce fixture count, but layout still needs to control distribution and lighting uniformity.
Safety, Certifications, and Warranty
This fixture is IP65 rated. No additional certifications are listed in the supplied specifications.
The warranty period is 5 years. The fixture uses a LiFePO4 battery and integrated solar charging components.
