Description
K8 LED Street Light 2700 K warm white – 0–80 W · up to 160 lm/W · T3M · IP66 · IK08
The K8 LED street light with warm white light (2700 K) provides pleasant, low-glare street lighting with a low blue content – ideal for residential areas, parks and historic settings. With up to 160 lm/W, street-optimised T3M optics and a power adjustable from 0–80 W via the driver, it lights paths and roads efficiently and evenly. Rugged die-cast aluminium housing with IP66 and IK08.

Street Optics & Efficiency
The street-optimised T3M light distribution (asymmetric) directs light precisely onto carriageway and footpath, allows large pole spacing and keeps spill light low. Combined with the high efficacy and the rugged die-cast aluminium housing (IP66, IK08), the result is a durable, low-maintenance street light with a lifespan of L70B10 over 108,000 hours.
Your Benefits at a Glance

Surge protection Up to 10 / 20 kV SPD (optional) – safe even in thunderstorms. |
Insect-Friendly Light
Warm white light at 2700 K has a very low blue and UV content. Because insects are mainly attracted to short-wave, blue light, this luminaire attracts far fewer moths, mosquitoes and other insects than cool white street lights. This protects local insect populations, reduces the nightly build-up and death of insects at the luminaire and keeps the light cone and housing cleaner. Especially in parks, residential areas, gardens and near water, warm white light is therefore the more environmentally and insect-friendly choice.
Control, Dimming & Programming
The luminaire is powered by a high-quality Sosen driver of the VH series (input 100–277 V, output 72–108 V) and offers far more than simple on/off operation. All functions can be tailored precisely to your project:
| AstroDim (default) – determines the length of the night from an astronomical profile and automatically dims during low-traffic hours – without any external control wiring. | |
| 1–10 V dimming – conventional brightness control; optionally also 0–10 V, PWM or resistor. | |
| Power 0–80 W – freely programmable – matched precisely to road, pole spacing and lighting level. | |
| Soft start (1–255 s) – ramps the light up gently, protects the grid from inrush current peaks and avoids glare. | |
| Constant Lumen Output (CLO) – compensates for the natural lumen depreciation of the LEDs over their lifetime – constant brightness for years. | |
| Self-adapt midnight timer – learns the midnight phase from the most recent nights and places the dimming step in the lowest-traffic period. | |
| Protection & maintenance – over-temperature protection (NTC/OTP) reduces power in case of heat; an end-of-life alarm (ELA) signals the due maintenance time via a blink code. |
The driver is programmed with the Sosen USB programmer (SS-PROG-LINK), which you can find here in the shop (sold separately) – either individually on a PC or in batch mode directly on site, so that entire streets can be configured quickly and energy-efficiently.

Installation & Wiring
The street light is fitted as a post-top variant onto a pole with Ø 60 mm and secured; connection to 100–277 V is made via the integrated Sosen driver. An optional photocell (Nema or Zhaga socket) is available for dusk-dependent switching. Installation and wiring only by a qualified electrician (protection class I, earthing required).
Applications
The warm white street light (2700 K) is ideal for residential areas, parks, promenades, old towns and footpaths. The low blue content creates a pleasant light image, reduces light pollution and is more insect-friendly. With the power adjustable via the driver (0–80 W) and up to 160 lm/W you noticeably cut energy and operating costs, while AstroDim and optional midnight dimming further reduce consumption during low-traffic hours – an economical, future-proof solution for municipalities, businesses and private grounds.
