- Weather resistance: IP66-rated housings are dustproof and weatherproof, built for year-round outdoor performance in all climates.
- Style customization: over a hundred fixture styles available, from classic acorn and lantern designs to modern architectural forms, in multiple finishes to match existing streetscape elements.
- Color temperature options: 2200K, 3000K, 4000K, and 5000K allow municipalities to match historic district aesthetics or meet dark sky ordinance requirements.
- Flexible ordering: order fixtures only if you have existing poles, or specify a complete package pole, luminaire, base plate, and anchor bolts for new installations. All components are specified for compatibility.

2200K LED Post Top Lights

It is the right choice for historic main streets and municipal areas where maintaining the character of existing lighting is a priority, or where ordinances require amber-spectrum fixtures. Compared to actual HPS lamps, Access Fixtures 2200K LED post top lights use 30-70% less energy and deliver better color rendering due to a broader spectrum output.
