How Many Amps Does X UFO High Bay Light Draw?

LEDs use less amps than metal halide. It is Watts / Volts Draw - Amp Draw. Let’s run two examples with 300 Watt lights:

300 Watts / 120V = 2.5 amps
300 Watts / 277V = 1.08 amps

This is why it is more efficient to run lights at a higher voltage - you can install more lights on one circuit.
