Led vs metal halide lighting.
Convert 250w metal halide to led.
3 by dwayne kula may 28 2019 replace metal halide with led we all know that converting from metal halide hid to led will save you money.
With today s efficiencies you can replace 250w metal halide with as little as 40w led assuming high lumens watt.
These fixtures produce well over 5 000 lumens.
Additionally if clubs are wanting to replace metal halide fittings with led the modules have to be similar to the metal halides in dimensions and weight for the same reason.
This led retrofit results in an energy saving of 1 614 00 per fixture.
Utilizing only 100 watts of consumable energy the led 8027 dl light bulb easily replaces up to 250w watt metal halide bulbs in roadway street lights wall packs post lights and garage lighting fixtures.
For 80 of all cases when your led fixture is below 20 feet in height a 60 70w led fixture will be more than enough to replace a 250w metal halide or high pressure sodium fixture.
You should look for a led fixture that produces over 10 000 lumens to replace 250w metal halide.
The only viable solution currently is to have a module that is matched in size and weight as mentioned but then also has optimised light output to compare with the metal.
