40 Watt Hybrid Solar Area Light | 8000 Lumens | 4000K | 100-277V | High Performance | 5 Year Warranty

Product Overview

This 40 watt hybrid solar area light delivers 8000 lumens at 4000K with a rated efficiency of 200 lumens per watt. The fixture operates as a hybrid system, drawing from an integrated monocrystalline solar panel while maintaining 100-277V AC input capability.

Output positions this fixture as a direct replacement for 250 watt metal halide area lights. The Type 3 optic produces a forward-throw distribution pattern suited for roadway, pathway, and parking area mounting positions where light needs to project outward from the pole rather than directly below it.

Construction consists of an aluminum alloy housing with polycarbonate optics. The fixture measures 48.2 x 16.6 x 10 inches and weighs 36.4 pounds. An EPA rating of 1.8 is specified for wind load calculations during pole selection.

Where This Product Fits Best

The hybrid solar design is suited for installations where reducing grid consumption is a priority or where supplemental solar charging extends runtime during utility interruptions. Standard 100-277V input allows the fixture to function on grid power when solar contribution is insufficient.

IP65 rating allows installation in outdoor locations exposed to rain, dust, and debris. The fixture tolerates direct water spray from any angle without ingress to internal components.

Type 3 distribution is appropriate for area lighting along linear paths, parking rows, or perimeter roadways where forward throw coverage is needed. This is not a symmetric flood pattern and should not be specified where uniform square coverage is required.

Performance and Functional Considerations

At 8000 lumens and 40 watts, this fixture achieves 200 lumens per watt. The 4000K color temperature produces neutral white light with a CRI of 70+, acceptable for general outdoor area and security lighting where color rendering is not critical.

Rated lifespan is 100,000 hours to L70, meaning the fixture will maintain at least 70 percent of initial output at that point. This fixture does not support dimming.

A motion sensor is included with the fixture. The monocrystalline solar panel is integrated into the housing assembly.

Installation and Long-Term Use

Mounting is via slip fitter, designed to fit over a standard round tenon on an existing or new pole. The 36.4-pound weight and 1.8 EPA must be verified against pole specifications before installation to confirm structural adequacy under local wind load requirements.

The aluminum alloy housing and IP65 sealing are designed for long-term outdoor exposure without scheduled relamping. Polycarbonate optics resist impact better than glass in areas subject to debris or vandalism.

Battery warranty is 3 years. Fixture warranty is 5 years. These are separate coverage periods reflecting the different service life expectations for battery and LED components.

How This Fixture Is Commonly Used

Facilities replacing aging 250 watt metal halide area lights use this fixture to reduce energy consumption while maintaining comparable output. The hybrid solar capability allows the fixture to offset grid draw during daylight hours and continue operating from stored charge when conditions allow.

The slip fitter mount simplifies retrofits on existing poles with standard tenons. Type 3 optics are selected when the fixture is positioned along the edge of a parking lot, walkway, or roadway and light needs to project forward into the target area rather than spreading symmetrically beneath the pole.

Safety, Certifications, and Warranty

This fixture is IP65 rated. It can be installed outdoors where exposure to rain, hose spray, and airborne dust is expected.

We provide a 5-year warranty on the fixture and a 3-year warranty on the battery.
