20 / 30 / 40 / 60 Watt Adjustable LED Post Top Light | 2600 to 7800 Lumens | 3000K / 4000K / 5000K Adjustable | 100-277V | Built-In Photocell

Performance Overview

This model is designed for applications where precise lighting control meets demanding outdoor environments. Built with four selectable power levels spanning 20 to 60 watts, this fixture delivers anywhere from 2600 to 7800 lumens while maintaining an impressive 130 lumens per watt efficiency. What makes this fixture valuable for buyers is its field-adjustable color temperature capability, allowing selection between warm 3000K, neutral 4000K, or bright 5000K output to match specific site requirements without stocking multiple SKUs.

• Four-position wattage adjustment provides precise output matching for different area sizes
• Color temperature switching accommodates changing lighting preferences or municipal requirements
• Type 5 distribution pattern ensures uniform area coverage from pole-mounted installations
• 1-10V dimming compatibility integrates with automated lighting control systems
• Built-in photocell eliminates separate control device installation

Replacing Older Lighting Systems

For customers seeking a long-lasting solution to replace aging 250-watt metal halide post top fixtures, this LED alternative cuts energy consumption by up to 76% while delivering superior light distribution. Unlike traditional lighting options that require lamp replacements every 6,000-10,000 hours, this LED system operates maintenance-free for 50,000 hours of rated life.

• Eliminates ballast failures and lamp burnouts common with metal halide technology
• Reduces electrical load from 250 watts to as low as 20 watts per fixture
• Instant-on operation replaces slow warm-up periods of HID lighting
• Consistent color output over fixture lifetime versus color shift in aging metal halide lamps

Mounting, Setup & Controls

Engineered to handle demanding conditions on existing pole infrastructure, this fixture installs directly onto standard 3-inch pole tenons without rewiring or structural modifications. The die-cast aluminum housing provides structural integrity for wind loads up to 1.75 EPA rating, while the universal 100-277V input voltage accommodates most outdoor lighting circuits. Additionally, the integrated button photocell automatically controls dawn-to-dusk operation without external control devices.

Certifications

• ETL Listed for safety compliance in commercial installations
• Rebate eligible status qualifies for utility energy efficiency incentives
• IP65 ingress protection rating ensures reliable operation in wet outdoor conditions

Operational Benefits

Energy Efficiency

With its specialized construction delivering 130 lumens per watt across all power settings, this fixture significantly reduces operating costs compared to traditional post top lighting. The high power factor above 0.90 minimizes reactive power draw, while total harmonic distortion below 20% ensures clean electrical operation that utilities prefer.

Reliability & Durability

Built for environments where consistent performance is critical, the die-cast aluminum construction and frosted tempered glass optics withstand temperature extremes from -22°F to +140°F. In real-world use, the IP65 sealed housing prevents moisture intrusion that commonly causes premature failure in outdoor fixtures, while the solid-state LED technology eliminates vibration-sensitive components.

Maintenance Reduction

From a cost standpoint, the 50,000-hour L70 rated lifespan eliminates lamp replacement cycles for decades of operation. Equally important, the adjustable wattage and color temperature features allow field technicians to modify light output without fixture replacement when area usage patterns change or lighting requirements evolve.
