60 Watt Solar Area Light | 12000 Lumens | 4000K | High Performance | 5 Year Warranty

Product Overview

This 60 Watt Solar Area Light is designed for exterior site lighting where grid power is unavailable or cost-prohibitive. It integrates a monocrystalline solar panel, lithium battery, and LED array into a single unit. Typical installations include municipal streets, parking lots, and remote pathways where reliable dusk-to-dawn operation is required without trenching or wiring for AC power.

The fixture delivers 12000 lumens at 4000K, providing neutral white illumination suitable for general area and roadway lighting. The slip fitter mount supports installation on standard poles. The system is engineered for outdoor use in environments exposed to rain, dust, and temperature fluctuations.

Core Performance and Output

This solar street light outputs 12000 lumens at 60 watts, achieving 200 lumens per watt. The Type 3 polycarbonate optics provide a lateral distribution pattern suitable for roadways, parking lots, and wide pathways. The 4000K color temperature delivers balanced visibility for vehicular and pedestrian traffic.

Performance is optimized for mounting heights between 15 and 25 feet. Excessive mounting heights may reduce ground-level uniformity and coverage. Output is consistent during battery-supported operation, but extended periods of low solar input can reduce nightly run time.

Adjustability and Control Options

This fixture includes an integrated motion sensor to support adaptive lighting profiles. The sensor enables dimming or full output based on occupancy or movement, extending battery life and reducing unnecessary illumination during low-traffic periods.

There are no manual dimming controls or networked control options. The fixture operates autonomously based on solar charging and sensor input. The slip fitter mount allows for horizontal aiming adjustment during installation.

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 lithium battery are selected for outdoor durability and multi-year service life.

All components are housed in a sealed enclosure rated IP65 for protection against dust and water ingress. The system is designed for continuous operation in outdoor environments, withstanding temperature swings and weather exposure.

Build Quality and Physical Characteristics

The fixture uses an aluminum alloy housing for corrosion resistance and structural integrity. The polycarbonate lens protects the LED array from impact and environmental exposure. The integrated solar panel is fixed to the housing for streamlined installation.

Dimensions are 55 inches long, 16.61 inches wide, and 10 inches high. The fixture weighs 44 pounds. The slip fitter mount is compatible with standard round poles. The EPA rating is 1.8, supporting secure pole mounting in typical wind conditions.

Where This Product Fits Best

This solar area light is suited for outdoor environments where grid power is unavailable or unreliable. It is commonly installed in municipal, campus, and remote locations requiring autonomous operation and minimal infrastructure.

• street lighting
• parking lot lighting
• pathway lighting
• remote site lighting
• park lighting
• trail lighting
• municipal lighting
• off-grid roadway lighting

The fixture is IP65 rated for wet locations and is suitable for outdoor use in a range of climates. It is not intended for indoor or covered installations. Performance may be affected by prolonged shading or limited solar exposure.

Installation and Long-Term Use

Installation is performed using the slip fitter mount on round poles. The fixture?s weight and EPA rating require secure pole anchoring and consideration of local wind loads. No trenching or AC wiring is required, reducing installation time and site disruption.

Routine maintenance is limited to periodic cleaning of the solar panel and inspection of mounting hardware. Battery replacement may be required after several years, depending on usage and environmental conditions. The integrated design minimizes points of failure and simplifies servicing.

How This Fixture Is Commonly Used

Typical mounting heights range from 15 to 25 feet, with spacing determined by required light levels and site geometry. For street and pathway lighting, fixtures are often spaced 2 to 3 mounting heights apart to balance coverage and uniformity.

In parking lots, layout is based on pole locations and desired illumination levels. The integrated motion sensor supports adaptive output, reducing energy use during periods of low activity. Higher output allows for wider spacing but may increase glare if mounted too low.

Safety, Certifications, and Warranty

This fixture is IP65 rated for dust and water ingress. The housing and lens materials are selected for outdoor durability and impact resistance. The system is designed for safe operation in public and municipal environments.

The product includes a 5-year warranty covering manufacturing defects and component failures under normal use. All components are specified for outdoor, solar-powered operation.

Frequently Asked Questions

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

A: Recommended mounting height is 15 to 25 feet for optimal coverage and uniformity.

Q: How long will the light operate on a full charge?

A: Typical nightly run time is 10 to 12 hours on a full charge, depending on solar input and motion sensor activity.

Q: Does this fixture require any external wiring or AC power?

A: No external wiring or AC power is required. The fixture operates entirely from its integrated solar panel and battery.

Q: Can the motion sensor settings be adjusted?

A: The motion sensor is preset for occupancy-based operation. Manual adjustment is not available.

Q: What is the expected battery replacement interval?

A: Battery replacement is typically required after 3 to 5 years, depending on usage and environmental conditions.

Q: How should fixtures be spaced for street or pathway lighting?

A: Spacing is typically 2 to 3 times the mounting height, adjusted for site requirements and desired light levels.

Application Questions and Clarification

Q: Is this fixture suitable for covered parking garages?

A: This fixture is not intended for covered or indoor environments. It requires direct solar exposure for charging.

Q: Can this light be used for municipal park pathways?

A: Yes, it is commonly used for park pathway and trail lighting where grid power is not available.

Q: Is the fixture appropriate for off-grid roadway lighting in remote areas?

A: The fixture is designed for off-grid roadway and remote site lighting with autonomous solar operation.

Q: What type of pole is compatible with the slip fitter mount?

A: The slip fitter is compatible with standard round poles sized for area and street lighting applications.
