LED Area Lights, often referred to as parking lot lights or shoebox fixtures, are the backbone of large-scale exterior illumination. These high-output fixtures are designed to provide wide, uniform light distribution for commercial parking lots, automotive dealerships, and corporate campuses. Engineered to replace energy-heavy metal halide systems, our commercial LED area lights deliver superior visibility while reducing energy costs by up to 75%.
Our collection includes a versatile range of pole-mounted outdoor lights with various optical distributions, including Type III, Type IV, and Type V patterns. Whether you need forward-throw optics for lot perimeters or 360-degree coverage for central areas, our fixtures feature rugged die-cast aluminum housings and IP65-rated weatherproofing. With options for field-selectable wattage and integrated dusk-to-dawn photocells, you can customize your site's security and efficiency with ease.
Understanding Area Light Distribution Patterns
To achieve professional-grade results, you must select the correct "Type" of light distribution based on your pole placement.
Type III (Forward Throw)
The standard for perimeter lighting. It pushes light forward and out, making it ideal for poles mounted along the edges of a lot or near building walkways.
Type V (Circular)
Best for central lot placement. It provides an "umbrella" of light in a perfect circle, ensuring even 360-degree coverage from a single pole.
Mounting Options for Every Infrastructure
Our LED Parking Lot Lights are compatible with the most common mounting hardware in the industry:
- Slip Fitter: Slides over a 2-3/8" tenon; the preferred choice for adjustable aiming.
- Direct Arm Mount: Bolts directly to square or round poles for a clean, integrated look.
- Yoke/Trunnion Mount: Ideal for mounting onto flat surfaces or walls to provide wide-area flood lighting.
Smart Site Security: Integrated Controls
Modern outdoor area lighting should be "set it and forget it." Many of our fixtures come with twist-lock photocell receptacles or integrated motion sensors. These controls ensure your property is illuminated the moment the sun goes down and can even dim during late-night hours to maximize energy savings without compromising safety.
