Maxlite M55UW-CSBFCR Bronze 55W M Series Area Light

Light Up Outdoor Spaces Efficiently with the Maxlite M Series Area Light

The M55UW-CSBFCR from Maxlite is a 55W LED area light designed for outdoor illumination of parking lots, walkways, and building perimeters. It is suitable for wet locations thanks to its IP65 rating. Key features include selectable CCT (3000K/4000K/5000K) and a 150W metal halide/HPS equivalent output of 7,020 lumens.

Key Features and Benefits of This LED Area Light

Selectable CCT (Correlated Color Temperature) lets installers match colour temperature to site requirements without stocking multiple SKUs. The IP65 rating and -40C to 40C operating range mean the fixture withstands Canadian winters and wet conditions. A rated life of 175,000 hours reduces relamping frequency and maintenance costs over time.

Where to Use the M55UW-CSBFCR LED Area Light

This fixture suits parking lots, loading docks, and building perimeters that previously used 150W metal halide or HPS fixtures. Its wet location rating and pole or flexible arm mounting make it appropriate for exposed outdoor sites. It is not designed for indoor decorative use or damp-only interior spaces.

Installation and Compatibility Checks

The M55UW-CSBFCR operates on universal 120-277V input, simplifying use across commercial electrical services. It mounts via a flexible arm or pole mount, so confirm the pole or bracket matches this fitting. The fixture is dimmable, though a compatible dimming control must be verified before installation.

Additional Buying Context

Backed by a 10-year manufacturer warranty, this fixture offers long-term coverage for commercial outdoor projects. It carries DLC (DesignLights Consortium) and cULus certification, which can support utility rebate eligibility and code compliance in Canadian installations. It is a straightforward retrofit for sites currently running 150W HID fixtures.
