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

Product Overview

This 70-watt solar area light is an integrated LED street light with a top-mounted solar panel, built-in battery, PIR motion sensor, and photocell. It produces 7000 lumens at 5000K with a Type 3 distribution.

The fixture operates without a utility power connection and is configured for 8 to 12 hours of nightly operation. Intelligent mode can provide up to four nights of operation without recharging.

Core Performance and Output

The 70-watt LED system delivers 7000 lumens at 100 lumens per watt. Its Type 3 distribution directs light outward along roadways, parking areas, and similar linear site layouts.

The fixture replaces a 250-watt metal halide fixture. Electrical performance includes a power factor above 0.98, THD below 20%, and 50/60 Hz operation.

Output is reduced to 15% during standard operation and increases when motion is detected. Full output at low mounting heights can create excessive brightness, while higher mounting positions require layout review to maintain uniform coverage.

Adjustability and Control Options

This solar street light is not dimmable through an external dimming control. Light output is managed by the integrated photocell and PIR motion sensor.

During the first four hours, the fixture operates at 15% standard output and rises to 100% when motion is detected. From four to eight hours, motion output is 60%, and from eight to twelve hours, motion output is 30%.

Longevity and Reliability

The LED light source is rated for 50,000 hours of operation. The integrated solar panel, battery, photocell, and motion sensor are contained within the fixture package.

Operating temperature range is -4 degrees F to 122 degrees F. Nightly operating duration depends on available solar charging and the selected intelligent operating mode.

Build Quality and Physical Characteristics

The housing is die-cast aluminum alloy with an anti-corrosion finish. The solar panel is mounted on top of the fixture housing.

This fixture is gray, measures 29.5 inches long by 10 inches wide by 4 inches high, and weighs 27 pounds. It has an EPA rating of 1.13.

The fixture is IP66 rated. It uses a slip fitter mount for pole-mounted installation.

Where This Product Fits Best

This fixture fits outdoor locations that need self-contained solar-powered lighting and a Type 3 roadway-oriented distribution. It is suited to street and site layouts where utility power is not available or is not part of the lighting plan.

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

The IP66 housing and anti-corrosion aluminum construction support outdoor exposure. The slip fitter mount requires a pole and mounting arrangement that can accommodate the fixture weight and EPA rating.

Installation and Long-Term Use

The fixture mounts with a slip fitter and requires a suitable pole connection. Confirm pole capacity, EPA loading, mounting orientation, and solar exposure before installation.

The top-mounted solar panel needs unobstructed exposure for charging. Trees, nearby structures, and other shading conditions can reduce available charging time.

Maintenance should include inspection of the solar panel surface, fixture housing, slip fitter connection, and sensor operation. Keep the solar panel clear of dirt and debris that can limit charging performance.

How This Fixture Is Commonly Used

For street lighting, off-grid roadway lighting, and parking lot lighting, fixtures are mounted on poles with the Type 3 distribution directed along the intended travel path or site edge. Mounting height is determined by the pole, required light distribution, and target light levels.

Remote site lighting, park lighting, and municipal lighting layouts typically account for solar access before final pole placement. Fixture spacing varies with mounting height, required illumination, and the available solar charging conditions.

The motion sensor maintains lower standard output while increasing light levels when motion is detected. Higher motion output can reduce the number of fixtures needed in a layout, but placement still needs to account for coverage between poles.

Safety, Certifications, and Warranty

This fixture is IP66 rated. It operates from -4 degrees F to 122 degrees F.

The product carries a 2-year warranty. Verify that the supporting pole and mounting arrangement are appropriate for the 27-pound fixture weight and 1.13 EPA rating.
