50 Watt Solar Area Light | 5000 Lumens | 5000K | 2 Year Warranty

Product Overview

This 50 watt solar area light delivers 5,000 lumens at 5000K color temperature from a fully self-contained, off-grid assembly. The solar panel mounts directly on top of the fixture housing, and the integrated battery provides 8 to 12 hours of nightly operation. In intelligent mode, the battery can support up to 4 consecutive nights without recharging.

The fixture replaces 150 watt metal halide area lights. It operates at 100 lumens per watt with a CRI of 70+ and a rated lifespan of 50,000 hours. A built-in photocell and PIR motion sensor control output levels automatically based on ambient light and detected movement.

Construction uses die-cast aluminum alloy with anti-corrosion treatment. The fixture is IP66 rated, measures 29.5 x 10 x 4 inches, and weighs 15 pounds. Mounting is via slip fitter, and the fixture color is gray.

Where This Product Fits Best

This fixture is designed for outdoor area lighting where grid power is unavailable, impractical to run, or where independent operation is preferred. Typical locations include parking areas, pathways, perimeter fencing, equipment yards, and entry points at facilities without nearby electrical infrastructure.

The Type 3 beam distribution directs light forward and to the sides, making it appropriate for roadway-style coverage along linear paths or parking rows rather than symmetrical flood patterns. The IP66 rating allows installation in locations exposed to heavy rain, dust, and washdown conditions.

With an EPA rating of 1.13, pole and mounting hardware should be sized accordingly for local wind load requirements.

Performance and Functional Considerations

The fixture outputs 5,000 lumens at full power. However, the intelligent operating mode adjusts output based on time of night and motion detection. During the first four hours of operation, standby output is 15% with full 100% output when motion is detected. From hours 4 to 8, motion-triggered output drops to 60%. From hours 8 to 12, motion-triggered output is 30%.

This stepped reduction preserves battery capacity across longer nights or periods of reduced solar charging. The 5000K color temperature provides a daylight-equivalent appearance suited to security and general visibility applications.

Power factor is greater than 0.98 and total harmonic distortion is below 20%. The fixture operates at 50-60Hz frequency.

Installation and Long-Term Use

The slip fitter mount accepts standard round poles. The solar panel is pre-mounted on top of the fixture housing, so panel orientation is determined by fixture positioning. Installers should orient the fixture to maximize solar exposure based on site latitude and any shading obstructions.

At 15 pounds, the fixture can typically be handled by a single installer during pole-top mounting. The die-cast aluminum housing with anti-corrosion treatment is intended for extended outdoor exposure without supplemental coating or maintenance.

The 50,000-hour rated lifespan applies to the LED array. Battery replacement intervals will depend on charge cycles and environmental conditions over time.

How This Fixture Is Commonly Used

Once installed, this fixture operates autonomously. The photocell activates the light at dusk and deactivates it at dawn. The PIR sensor detects motion within its field and increases output from the standby level to the time-appropriate brightness tier.

Facility operators rely on this fixture in locations where running conduit or trenching for electrical service is not feasible. It is commonly mounted on standalone poles at remote gates, storage yards, trailer parking areas, and along service roads.

The intelligent mode allows the battery to sustain multiple nights of operation during periods of limited solar input, which is relevant in northern climates during winter or in areas with frequent overcast conditions.

Safety, Certifications, and Warranty

This fixture is IP66 rated. It can withstand powerful water jets and complete protection against dust ingress, supporting use in exposed outdoor environments including coastal, industrial, and agricultural sites.

We provide a 2-year warranty on this fixture.
