What Are Metal Halide to LED Conversion Kits?

A metal halide LED retrofit kit contains an LED head, driver, and mounting hardware. It’s designed to replace a metal-halide bulb and ballast inside a HID fixture. It can also replace high-pressure sodium (HPS) bulbs and other HID bulbs.

These kits can fit into many standard indoor and outdoor fixtures including shoebox lights, wall packs, flood lights, uplight fixtures, and many indoor fixtures. Like most LED Lights, LED retrofit kits are energy efficient, have a longer lifespan than HID Lights, and achieve full brightness almost instantly.

What are the Benefits of Metal Halide to LED Retrofit Kits?

  • keep your existing fixture but allow you to convert it to LED lighting
  • high-quality LED Light source compared to the light source it is replacing.
  • energy efficient and energy saving - you should see a savings of 50% or more
  • low maintenance. No bulbs or ballast to replace
  • instant on and instant off
  • extremely long life

What Are the Best Applications for Metal Halide Retrofit Kits?

  • Outdoor fixtures where you want to keep the fixture (for its aesthetic purpose) but want to replace the lighting with LED.
  • Indoor uplighting fixtures (natatorium and sports court lighting where the lights reflect off the ceiling).
  • Indoor metal halide replacements inside canned lighting.
  • Any outdoor fixture that is water-tight and IP-rated.
  • Gas station canopy lights.
  • Retrofitting lights bypassing permits as the existing fixture is still left in place

What are the Best Retrofit Options for Shoebox Lights and Parking Lot Lights?

We have 4 specially designed retrofit kits designed for shoebox lights. Two are for 16” fixtures, and replace 400 Watt Metal Halide or HPS. Two are for 23” fixtures and replace 1000 Watts MH or HPS. In most if not all cases, light output is the same amount or better when our metal halide to led conversion kit is installed in outdoor fixtures.

Metal Halide to LED Retrofit Kits FAQ

How Easy Is it to Retrofit HID / High-Pressure Sodium / Metal Halide to LED?

The process is quite simple. It is the same process of replacing metal halide bulbs and ballasts inside your fixture. The major difference is that it’s an LED bulb, and you replaced the ballast with an LED driver.

The reflector is not needed, as all the LED light is directional. It’s required to remove it to increase the interior cavity space of the fixture. It creates more available cooling.

Do These Metal Halide LED Retrofit Kits Screw into the Mogul Base?

Our kits do not have a screw-in adapter. Using the existing mogul base is a bad idea. We recommend using our LED retrofit kits. They are more powerful, provide more light, produce more savings, and last longer. It’s far safer and more reliable to remove the base and use the mounting hardware we include.

How Reliable Are LED Retrofit Kits Versus New Fixtures?

The retrofit kits we sell are all UL/ETL listed, DLC listed, and carry a 5 or 10-year warranty. The only things our warranty does not cover are Acts of God, improper installation, and having a leaky outdoor fixture.

Will the LED Retrofit Kit Be the Right Size for the Existing Fixture?

Our retrofit kits will fit in most fixtures, but there are times when they won’t. We do not recommend them for fixtures with low-pressure sodium bulbs (SOX). Those fixtures will not accommodate a retrofit kit.

What Voltage Options Are Available for LED Retrofit Kits?

Yes, many of our kits have a high voltage option – 277V-480V. The standard voltage option is 100V-277V.

Are LED Retrofit Kits Waterproof?

Our retrofit kits are not waterproof. They’re intended for installation inside a waterproof (IP65 or higher) fixture.

What are the Steps to Install Metal Halide to LED Conversion Kits?

Any qualified electrician can easily install a metal halides conversion kit. It’s about as difficult as a bulb and ballast replacement. Any electrician familiar with HID fixtures can replace the internal components. There are only two extra steps required.

  • Remove the reflector
  • Remove the mogul base
  • Install the head mounting hardware
  • Replace the ballast with the LED Driver
  • Install the LED Head

What is the Life Expectancy of LED Retrofit Kits?

They should last as long as a new fixture. You can expect 10+ years of life from our retrofit kits. You should also notice a dramatic decrease in your maintenance costs over this period.

Are there Rebates for LED Retrofit Kits?

Yes, our kits are DLC Approved. Check with your local utilities for applicable rebates.

Are Metal-Halide Retrofit Kits Dimmable?

Yes, many of the retrofit kits we sell have dimmable drivers, which means they will work with motion sensors that dim the fixtures. The typical dimming is either 0-10V or 1-10V.

Do LED Retrofit Kits Work with Photocells?

Our retrofit kits work with photocells and motion sensors. So if your fixture already has them, then you can still use them.

What Comes with the Retrofit Kit for Mounting?

The LED “head” or “bulb”, an LED driver, and all the mounting hardware. This is so you can attach the head and driver to your fixture.

How Long Does It Take to Install Retrofit Kits?

Electricians who are familiar with the kits can do 2 to 3 per hour. If you have never used our kits, expect the first one to take 30 minutes to 1 hour. By then you will have figured out the correct mounting configuration.

Then it’s a matter of repeating it from fixture to fixture. Many of our electricians with a 2-man crew will have the electrician on the ground setting up the next kit. The electrician in the boom lift would be the one installing it.
