SKU: SL-SPT-20W-40K-SF-G2

Brand: LIGHT EFFICIENT DESIGN

Light up a pathway, a park entrance or a condo driveway without digging a single trench. The SL-SPT-20W-40K-SF-G2 from Light Efficient Design is an off-grid solar post top light — what customers also call a solar pole light, solar street light, solar lamp post head or solar LED light pole fixture — with a built-in PIR motion sensor. It belongs to the Solera off-grid family of solar area lighting, and its classic decorative post top shape suits parks, condo grounds, campuses, rural roadways and commercial entrances where running line voltage is simply not worth the cost.

This post top compares to a 150W HID fixture and delivers 2000 lumens at a neutral 4000K colour temperature — clean, daylight-like white that helps faces, signage and steps read clearly at night. The LED engine is rated for 100,000 hours, and the fixture measures 16" x 32" with an EPA of 2.2. Three operating modes are available: dusk to dawn, timer and motion sensing, so you can let the PIR sensor hold the light at a lower standby level and jump to full output the moment someone approaches — stretching the stored charge over the whole night. The sensor covers a 120° beam angle zone, battery charge time is 8-9 hours, battery life is rated at 18 years, charging temperature range is 32°F to 149°F, and the operating temperature range is -13°F to 140°F.

Because it is 100% powered by the sun, there is no trenching, no conduit and no grid connection — a real advantage on Canadian trails, parking lots, cemeteries, marinas, municipal walkways and remote rural properties where winter digging and long wire runs kill budgets. It mounts on standard post-top poles, which makes retrofits of tired HID lamp posts fast for electrical contractors and municipalities. Pair it with the matching Circular solar post top SL-CPT-25L-40K-BK-G1 or the warmer Circular solar post top SL-CPT-25L-30K-BK-G1 to light a full pathway loop. Ready to go off-grid? This one shines brighter than you would expect.

A decorative post top that runs on sunlight alone
The SL-SPT-20W-40K-SF-G2 is part of Light Efficient Design's Solera solar line-up, in the off-grid bollard and post top family. Its classic decorative silhouette reads like a traditional lamp post head, but everything is integrated: LED engine, solar harvesting and battery live inside a single 16" x 32" body with an EPA of 2.2. That means no separate panel to aim, no external driver box, and nothing to wire back to a panel board. For a park board, a campus or a condo association replacing failing HID post tops, the swap is mechanical rather than electrical.

Light quality and output
This SKU produces 2000 lumens at 4000K, a neutral white that sits between warm residential light and cool security light. It reads as natural and crisp, which is exactly what you want on walkways, stair nosings and signage. The fixture compares to a 150W HID source, and the LED platform carries a 100,000 hour rated life, so lamp changes and ballast headaches disappear from the maintenance calendar. If your site calls for a warmer look, the same post top is also offered in 3000K as SL-SPT-20W-30K-SF-G2.

Installation, modes and energy strategy
Installation is pole-top mechanical work: set the fixture on a standard post-top pole, level it, and give the panel a clear view of the sky with no branches or roof shadow. No trenching, no conduit, no grid tie. Choose the mode that matches the site: dusk to dawn for constant presence, timer for a defined evening window, or motion sensing with the PIR sensor so the fixture holds a low standby level and returns to full output the instant someone enters the 120° detection zone. Motion mode is the smart choice on low-traffic trails and back parking areas: it conserves stored energy through quiet hours so the light is still there at 4 a.m. Respect the charging temperature window of 32°F to 149°F and the operating range of -13°F to 140°F when planning cold-climate sites.

Where it works and what to pair it with
Think municipal walking paths, riverside boardwalks, cemetery lanes, church and school grounds, rural driveways, trailer parks, marinas, farm yards and commercial entrances far from the nearest panel. For a consistent look across a site, combine it with the Circular solar post top SL-CPT-25L-40K-BK-G1 or the 3000K Circular solar post top SL-CPT-25L-30K-BK-G1 on secondary pathways.
