70 Watt Solar Area Light | 7000 Lumens | 5000K | 2 Year Warranty

Product Overview

This 70 Watt Solar Area Light is a self-contained LED fixture designed for outdoor area and street lighting where grid power is unavailable or unreliable. It integrates a solar panel, battery, motion sensor, and photocell into a single unit. Typical installations include municipal streets, parking lots, and remote pathways where trenching for power is not practical.

The fixture is engineered for dusk-to-dawn operation with adaptive output based on occupancy. It is sized to replace legacy 250W metal halide fixtures at mounting heights common to street and parking lot poles. The slip fitter mount supports standard pole installations.

Core Performance and Output

This fixture delivers 7000 lumens at 70 watts, providing 100 lumens per watt efficiency. The Type 3 beam distribution is suitable for roadway and area coverage, supporting uniform illumination along streets and across parking lots. Color temperature is 5000K with a CRI above 70.

Solar operation is managed by an integrated battery and controller. Output is reduced during periods of low activity to extend battery life, with full output triggered by motion. The fixture is designed for 8?12 hours of nightly operation, with up to 4 nights of reserve capacity in intelligent mode. Excessive mounting heights above 20 feet may reduce ground-level uniformity and sensor effectiveness.

Adjustability and Control Options

The fixture includes a built-in motion sensor and photocell. The motion sensor increases output to 100% when activity is detected during the first 4 hours of operation, then steps down to 60% and 30% in later hours. When no motion is detected, the fixture maintains a 15% output level for background illumination.

There is no dimming interface or external control input. All control logic is managed internally by the fixture?s onboard controller. The slip fitter mount allows for horizontal aiming adjustment during installation.

Longevity and Reliability

The LED array is rated for 50,000 hours of operation. The integrated battery and solar panel are designed for multi-year service in outdoor environments. The fixture is IP66 rated for protection against dust and water ingress.

Operating temperature range is -4°F to 122°F. The die-cast aluminum housing provides corrosion resistance for long-term exposure. Intelligent power management extends battery life by reducing output during periods of low activity or low solar input.

Build Quality and Physical Characteristics

The fixture housing is constructed from die-cast aluminum alloy with an anti-corrosion finish. The solar panel is mounted directly on top of the fixture for optimal sun exposure. The unit measures 29.5 inches long, 10 inches wide, and 4 inches high, with a total weight of 27 lbs.

All components are integrated into a single enclosure. The slip fitter mount is compatible with standard round poles. The EPA rating is 1.13, supporting installation in typical outdoor wind conditions.

Where This Product Fits Best

This solar street light is designed for outdoor environments where grid power is limited or unavailable. It is commonly installed in municipal, campus, and remote locations requiring reliable dusk-to-dawn lighting with minimal infrastructure.

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

The fixture is suitable for wet locations and outdoor exposure. It is not intended for indoor use or environments with persistent shade that limits solar charging.

Installation and Long-Term Use

The fixture is designed for slip fitter mounting on round poles. Installation requires secure attachment and orientation of the solar panel for maximum sun exposure. No external wiring or trenching is required.

Routine maintenance includes periodic cleaning of the solar panel and visual inspection of the housing and mounting hardware. Battery replacement may be required after several years, depending on site conditions and usage patterns. The integrated design minimizes points of failure in the field.

How This Fixture Is Commonly Used

Typical mounting heights range from 12 to 20 feet, depending on the area to be illuminated and pole spacing. Fixtures are spaced to provide overlapping coverage along streets or across parking lots, with sensor zones adjusted to minimize dark spots between units.

Layout patterns are determined by required light levels and site geometry. Higher output allows for wider spacing but may increase glare if mounted too low. Motion sensor zones should be tested during commissioning to confirm detection range and response timing.

Safety, Certifications, and Warranty

This fixture is IP66 rated for dust and water ingress. The housing is constructed from anti-corrosion die-cast aluminum. The product includes a 2-year warranty covering defects in materials and workmanship.

All electrical and control components are integrated and protected within the enclosure. The fixture is suitable for outdoor use in wet locations and is designed for safe operation in public spaces.

Frequently Asked Questions

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

A: Recommended mounting height is 12 to 20 feet for optimal area coverage and sensor performance.

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

A: The fixture is designed for 8 to 12 hours of nightly operation, with up to 4 nights of reserve capacity in intelligent mode.

Q: Does the fixture require external wiring or grid power?

A: No external wiring or grid power is required. The fixture is fully solar-powered and self-contained.

Q: How does the motion sensor affect light output?

A: The motion sensor increases output to 100% during the first 4 hours when motion is detected, then steps down to 60% and 30% in later hours. When no motion is detected, the fixture maintains 15% output.

Q: What is the expected battery lifespan?

A: Battery lifespan varies by site conditions but is typically several years under normal operation. Periodic replacement may be required for long-term installations.

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

A: Spacing depends on mounting height and required light levels. Wider spacing is possible at higher mounting heights, but sensor coverage and uniformity should be verified during layout planning.

Application Questions and Clarification

Q: Is this fixture suitable for shaded or heavily wooded areas?

A: The fixture requires direct sunlight for reliable charging. Persistent shade will reduce performance and operating hours.

Q: Can this fixture be used for indoor or covered walkway lighting?

A: This fixture is intended for outdoor use only and is not suitable for indoor or covered environments where solar charging is limited.

Q: Is the fixture compatible with existing pole infrastructure?

A: The slip fitter mount is compatible with standard round poles commonly used for street and area lighting.
