- Is 8000 lumens enough for a parking lot?
- For a small lot or a few poles, yes. 8000 lumens per head is roughly what a 250W metal halide fixture put out, so a handful of these can light a modest lot. Large lots need a photometric layout to check coverage.
- What does IP68 mean here?
- IP68 is the top dust rating plus protection against continuous water immersion. For an outdoor post light it means rain, hose-downs and dusty sites should not get inside the housing.
- Is 5500K too blue for outdoors?
- 5500K is cool white, close to midday daylight. It reads crisp and bright for security lighting but can look stark near homes. Warmer 3000K to 4000K fixtures are easier on the eye in residential areas.
- Does it dim or change color?
- No dimming or color tuning is listed for this model. It runs at a fixed 5500K and full output, so plan on a switch or photocell rather than a dimmer.
- How does it mount?
- It is a post-top fixture, so it fits over a pole tenon rather than on a wall arm. Check your pole's tenon size before ordering.
- How does it compare with a 250W metal halide fixture?
- Output is in the same range as a 250W metal halide head, but the LED draws 60W and needs no ballast. Expect less maintenance and instant full brightness instead of a warm-up.
