LED Technology & Light Output

LED Technology & Light Output

The Lithonia lighting HGX LED security floodlight utilizes advanced solid-state LED technology to deliver exceptional illumination efficiency. Our proprietary LED array produces up to 17,000 lumens while consuming just 150 watts at maximum output, achieving over 113 lumens per watt.

Selectable wattage settings allow you to match light output to specific security requirements. Lower wattage modes extend LED lifespan while reducing energy costs for areas requiring moderate illumination levels. The precision-engineered reflector system distributes light uniformly across wide areas, eliminating dark spots that compromise security coverage.


Weatherproof Construction & Durability

Weatherproof Construction & Durability

Built for demanding outdoor environments, our HGX series employs die-cast aluminum construction with a durable powder-coat finish. The single-piece housing design eliminates potential leak points while integrated heat sink fins promote passive thermal management.

IP65-rated sealing protects internal components from dust infiltration and water jets from any direction. Silicone gaskets and stainless steel hardware ensure long-term weatherproof integrity through temperature extremes ranging from -40°F to 122°F. The impact-resistant polycarbonate lens maintains optical clarity while protecting the LED array from flying debris.


Installation & Electrical Specifications

Installation & Electrical Specifications

The universal yoke mount system simplifies installation on walls, eaves, poles, and ground stakes. Adjustable knuckle joints allow 180-degree vertical aiming and 360-degree horizontal rotation, enabling precise beam positioning after mounting. Pre-wired quick-connect plugs accept optional photocell and motion sensor accessories without additional field wiring.

Wide-range voltage input (120-277V AC, 50/60Hz) accommodates both residential and commercial electrical systems. Internal driver circuitry automatically adjusts to available voltage, eliminating the need for external transformers or ballasts. Power factor correction circuitry exceeds 0.90 to minimize reactive power draw.

Perfect for our warehouse perimeter
We installed six HGX fixtures around our distribution facility and the coverage is outstanding. The selectable wattage feature let us dial in exactly the right light levels for each zone. After two years of 24/7 operation, every fixture still performs like new with zero maintenance required.

Energy savings exceeded expectations
Replaced twelve 400W metal halide floods with HGX units set to 100W mode. Our parking lot is noticeably brighter while our electric bill dropped by nearly $200 monthly. The instant-on feature is fantastic compared to the old fixtures that took five minutes to warm up.

Built like a tank
We’re in a coastal location with brutal salt air and these fixtures are holding up beautifully. The powder coat finish still looks pristine after three years and the housings show zero corrosion. Well worth the investment for longevity.

Installation was straightforward
As a commercial electrician, I appreciate how Lithonia designed the mounting system. The adjustable yoke made aiming simple and the wide voltage input worked perfectly with our 277V system. The integrated photocell socket saved us additional wiring time.

Excellent light quality for cameras
The 5000K color temperature produces crisp, clear video footage from our security cameras at night. We can identify vehicle colors and read license plates much better than with our old sodium lights. The uniform coverage eliminated dark corners where people used to loiter.

Great performance in extreme weather
We’ve had these running through Montana winters with temperatures down to -30°F and they perform flawlessly. No flickering or delayed starts even in brutal cold. The only minor issue is the fixtures are heavier than expected, so make sure your mounting surface is solid.

HGX LED Security Floodlight Buyer Questions

The Lithonia HGX delivers up to 17,000 lumens at maximum 150-watt setting. Selectable wattage modes provide 50W (6,500 lumens), 75W (9,800 lumens), 100W (11,300 lumens), and 125W (14,100 lumens) output options.

You can adjust the setting during installation or later to match specific illumination requirements and energy budgets. The high efficacy rating of 113 lumens per watt ensures you get exceptional light output relative to power consumption across all settings.

Yes, the HGX features IP65-rated weatherproof construction designed for harsh outdoor environments. The sealed die-cast aluminum housing protects against dust, rain, snow, and water jets from any angle.

Operating temperature range spans -40°F to 122°F, making the fixture suitable for extreme climates. Corrosion-resistant materials and powder-coat finish provide long-term durability in coastal areas, industrial settings, and other challenging locations where salt air, chemicals, or UV exposure would degrade inferior fixtures.

The HGX LED technology uses approximately 75% less energy than equivalent metal halide or high-pressure sodium security lights. A 150W HGX produces light output previously requiring 400W HID fixtures, delivering substantial utility cost savings.

Additional advantages include instant-on operation with no warm-up or restrike delay, 50,000-hour LED lifespan versus 10,000-hour HID lamp life, superior color rendering for security cameras, and elimination of periodic ballast replacements. The total cost of ownership is significantly lower despite higher initial fixture cost.

Each HGX includes an adjustable yoke mount that accommodates wall, pole, eave, and ground stake installations. The mounting bracket provides 180-degree vertical adjustment and 360-degree horizontal rotation for precise beam aiming.

Stainless steel mounting hardware is included. The fixture accepts 1-inch NPT threaded conduit connections and features pre-wired quick-connect sockets for optional photocell and motion sensor accessories. Wide voltage input (120-277V) eliminates the need for external transformers on most commercial and residential electrical systems.

Yes, the HGX is compatible with dusk-to-dawn photocell sensors and PIR motion detectors for automated operation. An integrated photocell socket accepts standard twist-lock sensors without additional wiring.

Motion sensor modules connect via quick-disconnect plugs and can trigger high-output mode when activity is detected, then return to reduced wattage or off mode after a preset delay. The fixture also supports 0-10V dimming systems for integration with building automation and twilight programming.

Lithonia backs the HGX LED security floodlight with a comprehensive 5-year limited warranty covering defects in materials and workmanship. This includes the LED array, driver electronics, housing, and optical components.

The warranty provides replacement parts and technical support for qualifying failures under normal operating conditions. The 50,000-hour LED lifespan rating ensures the fixture will deliver reliable performance well beyond the warranty period with minimal lumen depreciation.

Fixture quantity depends on mounting height, area size, and required illumination levels. As a general guideline, pole-mounted HGX units spaced 20-30 feet apart provide adequate parking lot security lighting at standard 15-20 foot pole heights.

Building-mounted perimeter installations typically require fixtures every 40-50 feet along walls and corners. For precise fixture counts and photometric layouts, consult our lighting specialists who can perform site-specific calculations based on your facility dimensions, mounting locations, and target footcandle levels.
