Benefits of LED Area Lights (LED shoebox light)
LED area lights virtually eliminate ongoing maintenance with some fixtures, staying bright for up to 100,000 hours. Even running 12 hours a day, that's over 22 years of light for college campuses, shopping malls, residential parks, hospital grounds, commercial parking lots, car dealerships, and other applications. While HID systems fade quickly and turn yellow over time, LED area lights maintain their color temperature for years, giving you longer lasting and higher quality light. If you want to upgrade to LED but don't have the budget for all new fixtures, retrofit kits include all of the assembly hardware required to convert existing shoebox fixtures.
What You Need to Know When Replacing an HID Area Light
Because metal halide bulbs are omni-directional, the bulb gives off light you never end up seeing because it is trapped bouncing around the inside of the fixture. On the packaging, this light lost to "Lumen bounce" is still included in the initial Lumen rating. Because LEDs are naturally directional, there's no light trapped in the fixture. This means an LED parking lot light can be a direct replacement for older systems even if on paper it doesn't look as though the LED area lights put out as much light. In order to help you find the closest actual Lumen replacement, we've listed the wattage range of similar metal halide fixtures under each Lumen range.
Mounting Arms and Accessories
Units may come with either a mounting arm or a slipfitter mounting bracket. Slipfitter mounts, sold separately, give you more flexibility and control over installation and light distribution by offering a broader range of angles than a stationary arm. Other available mounting accessories include mounting arms, tenons, chain hangers, safety cables, yokes, brackets and bracket covers. You can also connect your LED area lights to timers or photocells for dusk to dawn illumination that saves you even more. If pairing these lights with photo controls, make sure the photocell is compatible with LED products. Using a conventional system that is not LED compatible could lead to premature failure of the lights or the photocell. The photo control may not even recognize the LED fixture and fail to turn the lights on and off at all.
We avoe offers parking lot lights with a variety of light distributions from narrow type II distributions primarily used for wide walkways and aisles to type V circular distributions that provide the same light intensity at all angles. For assistance understanding how many Lumens you need or which light distribution to use for your space, give our lighting experts a call at AVOE.

We avoe commercial products can be integrated as an LED shoebox retrofit into the existing luminaire or replacement of the old luminaire with entirely new pole mounted outdoor shoebox.
LED shoebox luminaries light up parking lots, entrances, car dealerships, university campuses, roadways walkways, general area lights and parks. They illuminate public spaces and sites, ensure visitors safety and security and is perfect to discourage vandalism.
The rugged cast aluminum housing and weather tight gasket seal enables the fixtures use under harsh conditions and wet environments. The LED light source is not sensitive to shock or vibration. Our Outdoor LED shoebox lights come with 6“ or 10“ arms. Optionally, trunnion and slip fitter mounts convert these fixtures into a floodlight.

Efficient LED Shoebox Lights reduce the power consumption of 50% or more in combination with smart controls. The LED light source is far more reliable than conventional lamps and the lighting quality will increase over the traditional light sources you are accustomed too. This new quality of light that LED will bring to your property is just another benefit of making the switch to LED systems at your business or commercial facility.

LED SHOEBOX FIXTURE - TOP 7 REASONS TO CONVERT OVER

1. Save Money on your Utility Bill
LEDs use far less energy than MH or HPS. Savings of 75% or more are not unheard of. And with the addition of controls, even 90% can be achieved. Be careful when determining which product to buy and ensure what you are buying is the most efficient product. Do not get stuck with 5 year old technology.
2. Lower your Maintenance Costs
LEDs last at least 5X longer than the HID bulbs they replace. This means less time hiring electricians to maintain your lights. This equals more money in the bank.
3. Improve your Lighting
LED is a high quality light source. Its measured as CRI, and because the lumens are such high quality, you need less lumens to see. That is why you need far less LED lumens than HPS lumens to see indoors and outdoors.
4. Improve Safety
Higher quality whiter light makes everything brighter. Not only will it feel safer, it will be safer for both customers and employees.
5. Increase your Green Profile
Achieve instant green credibility when you convert to LED in addition to saving money because of reduced electricity usage. This means less electricity generated at coal power plants.
6. Adaptable Options
LED Shoebox Lights can have sensors added to them after installation. Need a photocell? No problem. Want to add a motion sensor? Easy. Make them work together? Yes, all this can be done.
7. Instant On - Instant Off
Gone are the days of waiting for your HID Shoebox Lights to relight after a power failure. Instant On means your lights are at 100% brightness the minute you need them.
Shoebox Voltage Options
Our LED shoebox Lights can be equipped with a multi tap driver to process 
100 - 277V
277 - 480V

Shoebox Light Options - Optics and Color Temperature
We offer a great selection of options that we can install on our LED Shoebox Lights:
