Shenzhen, China LEADRAY has added the LRC-L40W to its integrated solar street light range. The fixture is a 40W unit that produces 7,200 lumens, which works out to 180 lumens per watt, and it carries an IP65 rating for the housing and cable entry points.

The target applications are municipal roads, rural lighting upgrades, industrial parks and secondary highways places where rain, dust and temperature swings are normal operating conditions rather than exceptions.

Why 40W and 7,200 Lumens

Forty watts sits in a useful gap. It is bright enough for a two-lane road at eight metres, but it does not demand the panel and battery budget of a 100W fixture. At 180lm/W, the LRC-L40W reaches 7,200 lumens with a smaller PV module and a lighter head, which matters when the pole was designed for a conventional 70W sodium lamp.

Built for Water, Not Just Rated for It

IP65 is often printed on a datasheet and tested nowhere. On the LRC-L40W, the gasket path runs around the optical chamber, the driver compartment and the battery bay as three separate seals, so a failure at one joint does not flood the electronics. Cable entries use threaded glands rather than open grommets, and the housing drains condensate away from the PCB.

The aluminium body is die-cast rather than folded sheet, which keeps the LED board flat against a heat path instead of trapping hot air behind it. In coastal and humid markets this is the difference between a lamp that lasts five years and one that fogs up in the first wet season.

What It Means for Projects

For a tender that specifies a 40W LED road light, this fixture can usually reuse the existing pole and bracket. Installation is a two-bolt job with no trenching, so the electrical contractor stays on schedule even when the grid connection is delayed.

“Most of the failures we see in the field come from water and heat, not from LED chips. The LRC-L40W was designed around those two enemies first.” — LEADRAY engineering team

Availability

The LRC-L40W is available now for sample orders and bulk production. OEM options include logo printing, colour temperature selection and custom packaging. Project buyers can request a lighting layout based on road width and pole spacing before committing to a quantity.
