What are LED Shoebox Lights?

Shoebox lights are typically the outdoor lights mounted on poles that are used to illuminate streets and parking lots. The name ‘shoebox’ is a reference to the size and shape of the fixture. Here some examples of shoebox light fixtures:

Where are Shoebox Lights used?

Along with roadways and parking lots, shoebox flood lights can be found illuminating sidewalks, pathways, parks and many outdoor areas. They are often mounted on poles but can be mounted directly to the side of buildings. There are several common mounting options: pole mount, yoke mount and slip fitter. Here are some typical uses of shoebox lights:

What are the different types of Shoebox Flood Lights?

Although the shape of the fixture may be similar, there are different types of shoebox flood lights. These include metal-halide, sodium-vapor and LED light sources. There are pluses and minuses to these options. LED lights may have more of an investment at first and may need additional wiring at install, but offer extremely long life and are highly energy efficient whereas traditional metal-halide and sodium-vapor lights may be less expensive to purchase, but don't last as long, often require new bulbs or ballasts and use more energy.

What are the benefits of LED Shoebox Lights?

LED Shoebox lights offer many benefits. They provide the same illumination as much more wattage-hungry metal-halide and sodium-vapor lights. They are built to handle tough, outdoor environments. They do not need time to warm up when turned on. Also, they can be fitted with a photocell sensor that turns the light on and off with the sunset and sunrise, further adding to the fixtures’ efficiency.

When looking for a reliable solution for outdoor lighting with a range of possible applications, shoebox style lights are the perfect answer. These powerful LED shoebox flood lights can be used for your outdoor application needs such as providing illumination to parking lots, streets, highways, and other important areas. They are also ideal for replacing more power-consuming metal halide and halogen fixtures thanks to the way LED fixtures operate. LED offers a higher lumen output for better brightness while operating in a more efficient manner using a lower wattage than comparable, older options. Adding a photocell to the fixture will allow the light to turn on and off with the ambient light, adding to the efficiency of this already smart solution.
