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

Product Overview

We supply a 50 Watt solar-powered LED area light designed for outdoor site lighting where grid power is unavailable or unreliable. This fixture integrates a high-efficiency solar panel, battery, motion sensor, and photocell into a single unit. It is intended for pole-mounted applications in environments such as streets, pathways, and parking lots, with a typical mounting height range of 10 to 18 feet. The system is engineered for dusk-to-dawn operation with adaptive dimming to extend battery life and maintain illumination through multiple nights of low sunlight.

The fixture is a direct replacement for 150 Watt metal halide street and area lights. It is suitable for municipal, campus, and remote site installations where trenching for power is impractical or cost-prohibitive. The slip fitter mount provides compatibility with standard round poles.

Core Performance and Output

This solar area light delivers 5000 lumens at 50 Watts, with a 5000K color temperature and a Type 3 distribution pattern for roadway and area coverage. The system achieves 100 lumens per watt and maintains a CRI above 70. The integrated battery and solar panel support 8 to 12 hours of operation per night, with adaptive output based on motion detection and time elapsed since dusk.

During the first 4 hours after dusk, the fixture operates at 15% output, increasing to 100% when motion is detected. Output steps down to 60% and 30% in later hours, maintaining 15% as a base level. Excessive output may occur if mounted below 10 feet, and uniformity may decrease if pole spacing exceeds typical street or pathway intervals.

Adjustability and Control Options

The fixture includes a passive infrared (PIR) motion sensor and a photocell for automatic dusk-to-dawn operation. The motion sensor triggers full or partial output based on detected activity, while the photocell ensures the fixture only operates at night. There is no dimming interface or external control input; all control logic is internal and preset for adaptive operation.

Settings are not field-adjustable. The system is designed for autonomous operation, with the control sequence optimized for battery longevity and multi-night performance in variable weather conditions.

Longevity and Reliability

The LED array is rated for 50,000 hours of operation. The integrated battery and solar panel are sized for typical outdoor duty cycles and are protected within the fixture housing. The system is engineered to provide up to four consecutive nights of operation without recharging, depending on usage and environmental conditions.

Routine maintenance is limited to periodic cleaning of the solar panel and inspection of the fixture for debris or damage. Battery replacement intervals will vary based on site conditions and usage patterns.

Build Quality and Physical Characteristics

The fixture housing is constructed from die-cast aluminum alloy with anti-corrosion treatment. The solar panel is mounted directly on top of the fixture for optimal sun exposure. The unit is IP66 rated for protection against dust and high-pressure water jets, suitable for exposed outdoor environments.

Dimensions are 29.5 x 10 x 4 inches, with a total weight of 15 lbs. The slip fitter mount is compatible with standard round poles. The fixture is finished in gray and designed for long-term outdoor use in a range of climates.

Where This Product Fits Best

This solar street light is intended for outdoor environments where grid power is unavailable, unreliable, or cost-prohibitive to install. It is suited for municipal, campus, and remote site lighting where autonomous operation and minimal maintenance are required.

• street lighting
• parking lot lighting
• pathway lighting
• remote site lighting
• park lighting
• trail lighting
• campus lighting
• municipal lighting

The fixture is designed for outdoor use in areas with direct sunlight exposure. It is not intended for shaded locations or areas with persistent canopy cover, as solar charging will be reduced.

Installation and Long-Term Use

Installation is performed using the slip fitter mount on standard round poles. The fixture is supplied as a complete unit with integrated solar panel and battery, requiring no external wiring or trenching. Typical mounting heights are 10 to 18 feet, depending on the application and desired coverage.

Long-term use requires periodic cleaning of the solar panel to maintain charging efficiency. Battery replacement may be required after several years, depending on site conditions and usage. The fixture is designed for minimal maintenance in outdoor environments.

How This Fixture Is Commonly Used

This fixture is typically installed on poles along streets, parking lots, and pathways, spaced to provide overlapping coverage and uniform illumination. Mounting heights of 10 to 18 feet are standard, with pole spacing determined by the area to be illuminated and required light levels.

In most deployments, the adaptive output sequence reduces fixture count by maximizing battery life, but may result in lower light levels during periods of low activity. Spacing and layout should account for the reduced output during late-night hours and the need for direct sunlight exposure for charging.

Safety, Certifications, and Warranty

The fixture is IP66 rated for dust and water ingress. The housing is constructed from anti-corrosion die-cast aluminum. The system includes integrated overcharge and discharge protection for the battery. Warranty coverage is 2 years from date of installation.

No additional certifications are specified for this product.

Frequently Asked Questions

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

A: Typical mounting height is 10 to 18 feet, depending on the application and required coverage.

Q: How long will the fixture operate each night on a full charge?

A: The fixture is designed for 8 to 12 hours of operation per night, with adaptive output based on motion and elapsed time since dusk.

Q: Is the motion sensor sensitivity or output sequence adjustable?

A: No, all control logic is preset and not field-adjustable.

Q: What maintenance is required for long-term operation?
