Dark Sky Municipal Quality LED Street Light Fixture, Pole, and Pedestal Combo

Technical Specs

Installation

Our street lights come pre-wired with multi-tap photocells, allowing for flexible operation across various voltages (120-277VAC, 50/60Hz). This design accommodates various standard voltage settings, including 120V, 208V, 240V, and 277V. A licensed electrician will select the appropriate voltage tap to match your local electrical system during installation.

Installation Note:

Ensure the power source matches the voltage range (120-277VAC). Verify the electrical circuit capacity to handle the load and consider voltage drop for long wiring runs. Proper grounding and compliance with local electrical codes are essential. Install the photocell with the correct orientation for optimal performance. For any specific requirements or questions, please contact our support team before placing your order.

Installing the Pole

Installation Overview*

You should install your street light onto a cement pad -- the pad itself should be the depth of your local frost line. The base pad should be poured cylindrically with a width of not less than 2 inches larger than the diameter of the base.

You will need four (4) L-Shape bolts measuring 1/2 in. x 12 in. to 18 in. for installation (not provided, but you may obtain these at your local hardware store).

The electrical conduit containing the main electrical wire should protrude through the center of this cement pad. Connect the base of the light to the cement pad using nuts and connect the main electrical wire to the leads extending down from the socket assembly (standard) or the ballast/socket assembly (optional).

Note: The attached templates will typically not print to scale. These templates are only for reference. We recommend that you cut a wood template form using the measurements we provide here. We insist that you confirm the accuracy of your wooden form by physically holding it up against the base and confirming the alignment.

Here are some helpful installation videos:

*Disclaimer: GotItWholesale cannot be held responsible for faulty installation due to the installer's failure to confirm the accuracy of measurements. Also, the videos provided above are not produced by GotItWholesale and, as such, should be used as general guidelines only -- some of the content in the above videos may not apply to the street light listed on this page. It is the customer and/or installer’s responsibility to ensure proper installation of these units.

Warranty

Fixture Voltage

NOTE: ALWAYS USE A LICENSED ELECTRICIAN

The electrician may start by testing the following:

• Installation
  • Recommended to face photocell in North direction.
• Continuity (see the links provided below)
  • Continuity Article on Wikipedia
  • Continuity Video on YouTube
• Voltage
  • Test Voltage - this should be within a 10% range (e.g., 110V should range from 108V to 132V).
  • Tip: If it is metered voltage, issues will likely involve the electrician hired to install the fixture. If it is connected directly to the transformer, then the power company may need to address voltage issues.

Configurable Options

Pole Type and Length

You can configure the street light pole starting at 8 feet tall and as high as 14 feet tall. If you require a pole taller than 14 feet, you can select Custom size needed from the dropdown options -- only please note that additional charges will be calculated after the order is placed (if you select this option, we will confirm the total with you directly prior to finalizing the purchase).

In addition to the straight pole, we offer an 8-foot tall tapered pole which will be configured with a wider open base.

See below for each pole’s pricing (note: the 8-foot straight pole comes standard with the package and has no additional charge):

• 8-foot straight pole (overall estimated height: 13 feet) (standard)
• 9-foot tapered pole (overall estimated height: 13 feet) (+$150.00)
• 10-foot straight pole (overall estimated height: 15 feet) (+$200.00)
• 12-foot straight pole (overall estimated height: 17 feet) (+$400.00)
• 14-foot straight pole (overall estimated height: 19 feet) (+$600.00)
• Custom size needed (additional charges may apply)

LED Advantages and Benefits

Why Should You Choose LED Lighting?

Cities and communities all over the U.S. are making use of low-energy Light Emitting Diode (LED) fixtures. And with good reason: LEDs offer the highest energy savings of any lighting source available. Energy savings means a better lighting solution for both the environment and your wallet. LED bulbs can also be used with commercial acorn and sphere globes, as well as many residential cast aluminum light fixtures.

LED bulbs can also be used to retrofit existing HID ballast light fixtures.

Advantages of LED Lighting over HID Lighting

• LED is the most energy-efficient light source available. They are preferred because of the high volume of energy savings and also because they contain no hazardous materials, such as mercury.
• They possess a greater than 50,000 hours lifespan (5.7 years). Their long lifespan is double the span of Metal Halide and High Pressure Sodium bulbs.
• Unlike other lighting sources, LED lights do not attract bugs because they do not produce UV light (UV light is what draws bugs to traditional light sources).
• With LED, you get a faster return on investment: You can save over $200.00 per year with a 40-watt LED versus a 175-watt Metal Halide bulb.

LED Bulbs - Additional Information

• 120 - 277 Max Voltage.
• Low heat output.
• Fit existing power systems.
• Built-in surge suppressors & protection.
