Available in three sizes with scalable lumen packages (100W–400W HID equivalent) and delivering up to 176 lm/W efficacy and lumen outputs ranging from 1,200 to 29,000 lm, KarbonCobra™ is engineered with your lighting needs in mind. ISO 14061-1:2018 carbon verification ensures that both operational costs and environmental impact are reduced.
A future-ready embedded node and software options make smart city integration seamless. With over 3 million LED streetlights and 35 million LED traffic signal units deployed, LEOTEK is trusted for its proven reliability. Backed by a 10-year warranty, IK10-rated durability, and UL Wet Location certification, KarbonCobra™ performs well in extreme weather conditions (-40°C to +50°C) and maintains at least 90% of its output at 60,000 hours. All this to ensure top notch, long-term Total Cost of Ownership (TCO).
