Lithonia HGX LED 2RH 40K 120 Security Floodlight
Our HGX LED 2RH 40K 120 security floodlight combines powerful illumination with intelligent motion detection for comprehensive outdoor protection. This dual-head LED fixture delivers crisp 4000K daylight white light across driveways, yards, and building perimeters.
Engineered for residential and light commercial applications, the lithonia lighting hgx led 2rh 40k 120 mo wh m2 features two independently adjustable LED heads that let you direct light exactly where you need coverage. The integrated motion sensor automatically activates when movement is detected, conserving energy while providing instant security lighting when it matters most.
- Dual adjustable LED floodlight heads for customizable coverage patterns
- 4000K color temperature produces bright, neutral daylight-white illumination
- 120-volt AC operation for standard household electrical systems
- Integrated motion sensor with adjustable sensitivity and timer settings
- Weather-resistant white finish suitable for exterior wall mounting
LED Technology & Light Output
The lithonia lighting hgx led 2rh 40k 120 mo wh m2 utilizes advanced LED chips that deliver consistent, high-quality illumination without the warm-up time required by older technologies. The 4000K color temperature strikes an ideal balance—cooler than warm white but not harshly blue—making it perfect for security applications where you need to clearly identify objects, people, and vehicles.
Energy Efficiency & Lifespan
LED technology consumes significantly less electricity than traditional halogen security lights while producing equivalent or superior brightness. Our HGX series LEDs are rated for tens of thousands of operating hours, dramatically reducing the frequency of bulb changes. This longevity is especially valuable for hard-to-reach mounting locations like second-story eaves or high garage walls.
Motion Sensor Features & Settings
The integrated passive infrared (PIR) motion sensor detects heat signatures from people, animals, and vehicles within its coverage zone. You can adjust the sensitivity to minimize false triggers from small animals or blowing branches while still catching human-sized movement reliably.
Timer settings give you control over how long the lights remain on after activation—typically adjustable from one minute to several minutes depending on your preferences. Shorter durations conserve energy for occasional motion events, while longer settings work better for extended outdoor activities like unloading groceries or working in the garage.
Weather Resistance & Outdoor Durability
Built for year-round exterior exposure, the HGX LED 2RH features weather-resistant construction that protects internal components from rain, snow, humidity, and temperature extremes. The white thermoplastic housing resists UV degradation, maintaining its appearance even after years of direct sunlight.
Sealed lens assemblies prevent moisture intrusion that could fog optics or damage LED drivers. All electrical connections use weatherproof junction box compatibility, ensuring safe, code-compliant installations that stand up to harsh environmental conditions.

Common Questions About the HGX LED Security Floodlight
The integrated PIR motion sensor typically detects motion up to 30-40 feet away, depending on the size of the moving object and environmental conditions. The detection zone is adjustable by repositioning the sensor housing during installation.
Larger heat signatures like people and vehicles are detected at greater distances than small animals. You can fine-tune sensitivity settings to reduce false triggers while maintaining reliable detection of human-sized movement.
Yes, the lithonia lighting hgx led 2rh 40k 120 mo wh m2 is designed to retrofit standard outdoor electrical junction boxes used by most halogen security lights. The 120-volt AC power requirement matches typical residential wiring.
The mounting footprint fits conventional outdoor boxes, though you may need to adjust the mounting bracket depending on your specific junction box configuration. We recommend turning off power at the breaker and verifying wire compatibility before beginning installation.
LED technology in the HGX series is rated for tens of thousands of operating hours—typically 50,000 hours or more under normal conditions. At an average of three hours per night, this translates to over 45 years of service life.
Unlike traditional bulbs, LEDs gradually dim over time rather than burning out suddenly. Even after their rated lifespan, the LEDs will continue producing light, just at slightly reduced brightness. This exceptional longevity virtually eliminates maintenance for hard-to-reach mounting locations.
The weather-resistant construction handles humidity, rain, and temperature extremes well, making it appropriate for most coastal residential installations. The sealed lens assemblies and corrosion-resistant housing protect internal components from salt air exposure.
For extreme marine environments or locations with direct salt spray, consider adding a light coating of corrosion inhibitor to mounting hardware during installation. Regular rinsing with fresh water helps prevent salt buildup on exterior surfaces.
Yes, the built-in timer allows you to adjust the on-time duration after motion is detected. Settings typically range from one minute to several minutes, though exact ranges depend on the specific control module.
Shorter durations (one to two minutes) work well for driveways and walkways where you just need light while passing through. Longer settings (five to ten minutes) are better for areas where you’ll be working or unloading items from vehicles.
4000K produces a neutral white light that appears crisp and slightly cool without the harsh blue tint of higher color temperatures. It’s noticeably whiter than traditional warm 2700K-3000K residential lighting but not as sterile as 5000K-6500K daylight.
This color temperature provides excellent color rendering for security applications, making it easier to distinguish clothing colors, vehicle details, and facial features on camera footage. The neutral tone also complements most home exteriors without creating an overly commercial appearance.
No, both LED heads operate from a single electrical connection to your 120-volt junction box. The fixture’s internal wiring distributes power to both heads simultaneously through one power input.
This single-connection design simplifies installation and eliminates the need for additional wiring or circuits. Both heads activate together when the motion sensor triggers, providing coordinated illumination across your coverage area.
