This blog post is our second to one of our most popular ones how many watts does it take to replace 1000w metal halide.
Convert 400w metal halide to led.
You should look for a led fixture that produces over 16 000 lumens to replace 400w metal halide.
When getting led fixtures the most important thing you should look at are the lumens each fixture produces.
Metal halide high pressure sodium to led wattages conversion.
Most large fixtures use metal halide bulbs.
100 watt metal halide.
Commonly a 250watt 400 watt or 1000 watt.
A metal halide light that produces 30 000 lumens discharges 75 lumens per watt.
Many of the concepts are the same but there are some differences between 400w and 1000w metal halide.
How many lumens do i need to replace a 400 watt metal halide with led.
100 watt high pressure sodium.
The two most important things you should take away from all of this are that to replace a metal halide light with an led you should focus on lumens instead of watts.
If the initial lumens produced by each 400w metal halide fixture were 30 000 you should get led fixtures that produce 30 000 lumens.
We explain a few things to know first and then we explain the conversion chart of metal halide to led.
To replace a 400 watt metal halide you will need abotu 18 000 lumens.
1000s of fixtures and retrofit kits in stock ready to ship today.
Converting a 250w metal halide to led.
150 watt high.
70 watt high pressure sodium.
With today s efficiencies you can replace 400w metal halide with as little as 100w led assuming high lumens watt.
And that an led requires much fewer watts to produce a brighter shine than hps bulbs.
Yes and done so easily.
Thats 1000 watt or narrow beam heights.
Use led retrofit lights to replace metal halide fluorescent and halogen bulbs for longer life and energy savings led lighting supply is your online led industrial and commercial lighting store for new fixtures and retrofits since 2008.
You can replace 400w metal halide with as little as 100w led assuming high lumens watt.
Normally 150 watts for 400s but those 400w mh bulbs were grossly underpowered at 30 feet.
This can range from 16 000 lumens if you are replacing at the end of the metal halide life to as high as 25 000 lumens for a brand new bulb.
With today s efficiencies you can replace 1000w metal halide with as little as 240w led assuming high lumens watt.
