LED Gas Station Canopy Lights
High-output, IP65 wet-location LED canopy fixtures that drop into your existing canopy and replace 320 to 400W metal halide. A brighter forecourt on about half the energy, DLC listed for rebates.
The problem with metal halide canopies
- 320 to 400W metal halide and HPS fixtures burn a lot of energy running dusk to dawn.
- They dim and shift color as they age, leaving a dull, yellow forecourt.
- Relamping fixtures mounted high in a canopy is slow and costly.
What LED replaces a 400 W metal halide canopy light?
A 150 W LED canopy fixture replaces a 320 to 400 W metal halide. The GGL-TCP1515 delivers 13,000, 16,900 or 19,500 lumens at 100, 130 or 150 W, more than 130 lumens per watt, with a tempered-glass lens, IP65 sealing and a 50,000-hour rated life. A 320 W metal halide draws about 368 W with its ballast and a 400 W about 460 W, and both lose output through their life, so at 150 W the LED saves 218 to 310 W per fixture: twelve 320 W fixtures running dusk to dawn save about 11,500 kWh and $1,500 a year at $0.13 per kWh, before any rebate. The fixture is ETL listed and DLC 5.1 listed. Figures from the GGL-TCP1515 spec sheet.
Replace a 320 to 400W metal halide canopy fixture with a 150W LED and cut lighting energy 50% or more.

Buyer's Guide
How to choose and install gas station canopy lighting
A few things to get right when you re-light a forecourt or parking canopy.
How bright should a gas station canopy be?
Designers working from IES RP-33, the Illuminating Engineering Society recommended practice for exterior lighting, commonly target 20 to 30 foot-candles average under a forecourt canopy, with a 10 foot-candle minimum and a uniformity ratio that leaves no dark spots between fixtures; sites in bright surroundings are often designed to 30 to 50. A 40 by 60 ft canopy (2,400 sq ft) at 25 fc needs about 60,000 lumens at the pavement, which after light loss is roughly four fixtures at 19,500 lumens. The GGL-TCP1515 at 150 W delivers 19,500 lumens and is sized for a typical pump-island bay; match fixture spacing to the canopy grid and confirm the layout with a photometric plan.

Mounting height and type
Canopy fixtures are commonly mounted 12 to 20 feet up. The gas-station model uses a recessed canopy mount that drops into a standard fixture cutout, a direct swap for an existing metal halide canopy fixture. The garage and parking canopy surface-mounts on its sensor base.
Wet location and weather
Open forecourts need a sealed, wet-location fixture. Both models are IP65 rated against rain and dust, and the gas-station unit is rated from -40°C to 50°C for cold-climate canopies.
Code and compliance near fuel dispensers
Areas right around fuel dispensers are classified (hazardous) locations under NEC Article 514. Canopy lights mounted overhead are generally above that classified zone, but any luminaire in or near a classified area must be suitable for the location. Always confirm fixture placement and wiring with a licensed electrician and your local authority having jurisdiction (AHJ).
Controls and dimming
A photocell runs the canopy dusk to dawn automatically. The gas-station model is 0-10V dimmable and photocell-ready; the parking and garage model adds a built-in PIR motion sensor, so output drops to a low level when no one is present and stretches energy savings further.
Rebate eligibility
Both fixtures are DLC 5.1 listed, the qualification most commercial utility rebate programs require. A rebate can cover a meaningful share of the project; check your area with our utility rebate finder.
