FL05 Area Lights in Action: Real-World Applications Across Canada

Our FL05 Area Lights are hard at work across Canada, delivering reliable, energy-efficient, and visually comfortable illumination for outdoor spaces. Check out these installations highlighting versatility, DarkSky compliance, and simple retrofits.

Deer Creek Golf Course, Ajax, ON: Parking Lot Installation

Our 150W FL05 Area Lights were installed throughout the parking lot using fixed mounts to create even, reliable illumination across the space. Set at 3000K, this DarkSky-friendly setup provides a warm, comfortable light that helps reduce glare and minimize impact on the surrounding environment.

Parking lots benefit from consistent, well-distributed lighting to improve visibility for both drivers and pedestrians. The FL05 series is well suited for these applications thanks to its strong ground-level illumination, optical control, and durable outdoor design. Together, these features help create a safer, more welcoming environment while delivering long-lasting, energy-efficient performance.

Commercial Installation in BC: Retrofit Project

A recent retrofit in BC by O.B. Electric reused existing poles while upgrading to 150W FL05 Area Lights mounted on 2-head and 3-head bullhorns. Bullhorns and tenon adaptors are a practical way to adapt existing infrastructure when lighting requirements change, allowing contractors to reposition or add fixtures without replacing entire pole systems. This flexible approach helps improve performance while keeping project costs under control.

For projects starting from scratch, we can also supply poles alongside our fixtures and mounting accessories, making it easier to source a complete outdoor lighting solution from a single supplier.
