LED Parking Lot Light ARES SERIES Trunnion Mount (TM) LED Parking Lot Light For a customer who wants more freedom at the moment of installation and specially designed to mount the unit on an exterior wall with the option to adjust the angle in 2 different directions besides the other two mounting units.

To determine what kind of power do we need first we need to know the height of the different places we can use Led Parking Lot Light - Ares Series.
