100 Watt Metal Halide LED Retrofit | 15500 Lumens | 400 Watt Replacement | 4000K or 5000K | 100-277V

Product Overview

This 100 Watt Metal Halide LED Retrofit is designed for direct replacement of 400 Watt metal halide lamps in existing fixtures. It delivers 15,500 lumens at either 4000K or 5000K, supporting energy upgrade and fixture conversion projects. The compact form factor fits most legacy housings without major modifications, making it suitable for maintenance-driven lighting upgrades in commercial and industrial environments.

Typical use cases include warehouse, parking lot, and municipal retrofit programs where existing HID fixtures require improved efficiency and reduced maintenance. The retrofit operates on 100-277V and is ETL certified for code compliance in a range of retrofit scenarios.

Core Performance and Output

This retrofit kit outputs 15,500 lumens at 100 watts, providing a direct replacement for 400 Watt metal halide lamps. Efficacy is 155 lumens per watt, supporting significant energy reduction in retrofit applications. The 120° beam angle delivers wide, even coverage suitable for open area and high bay environments.

Color temperature options include 4000K and 5000K. Power factor exceeds 0.90 and THD is below 15%, ensuring stable electrical performance. Excessive output may occur if installed in low ceiling fixtures; verify mounting height and spacing to avoid over-lighting.

Adjustability and Control Options

The retrofit supports optional dimming for integration with compatible controls. This allows for energy management and task tuning in retrofit projects. The 120° beam angle is fixed and not field adjustable.

No onboard motion or daylight sensors are included. Control integration depends on the existing fixture and site wiring. Confirm compatibility with existing dimming systems before installation.

Longevity and Reliability

Rated driver life is 50,000 hours, with L70 LED life at 100,000 hours. This supports long-term operation in retrofit scenarios where maintenance access may be limited. The retrofit is designed for consistent performance over its service life.

Thermal management is passive and does not require additional cooling. Reliability is supported by ETL certification and robust electrical design. Actual lifespan may vary based on fixture ventilation and ambient temperature.

Build Quality and Physical Characteristics

The retrofit measures 6.1 inches long, 5.2 inches wide, and 2.75 inches high, with a weight of 4.5 lbs. The compact size allows installation in most standard HID housings without extensive modification. Construction materials are selected for durability in commercial and industrial environments.

All components are rated for typical retrofit conditions. The retrofit is suitable for indoor and protected outdoor fixtures. Ensure the existing fixture provides adequate enclosure and environmental protection as required by the application.

Where This Product Fits Best

This retrofit kit is intended for upgrading legacy HID fixtures in commercial, industrial, and municipal settings. It is most often used where energy savings, reduced maintenance, and improved lighting quality are required without full fixture replacement.

• fixture retrofit projects
• energy upgrade projects
• legacy fixture conversion
• maintenance-driven lighting upgrades
• warehouse lighting retrofit
• parking lot lighting retrofit
• municipal retrofit programs
• tenant improvement projects

Environments include warehouses, parking lots, and municipal buildings where existing HID fixtures are being upgraded. The retrofit is suitable for dry and damp locations when installed in appropriate housings. Not intended for use in open/exposed outdoor environments without proper enclosure.

Installation and Long-Term Use

Installation requires removal of the existing HID lamp and ballast, with direct wiring to line voltage. The retrofit is compatible with most standard HID fixture sockets and housings. Mounting hardware and instructions are included for typical retrofit scenarios.

Long-term use is supported by robust driver and LED life ratings. Maintenance requirements are minimal compared to legacy HID systems. Ensure fixture ventilation is adequate to maintain rated lifespan. Periodic inspection of electrical connections is recommended.

How This Fixture Is Commonly Used

Retrofit kits of this type are typically installed at mounting heights between 15 and 30 feet, depending on the application and required light levels. Spacing and layout patterns follow the original fixture grid, with fixture-for-fixture replacement being the most common approach.

In open areas, higher output can reduce the number of fixtures needed, but may increase glare if not properly spaced. For best results, verify target light levels and adjust spacing as needed during planning.

Safety, Certifications, and Warranty

This retrofit kit is ETL certified. It meets requirements for rebate eligibility in many jurisdictions. All components are rated for safe operation in retrofit applications when installed according to instructions.

Warranty coverage is provided by LED Lighting Supply. Refer to product documentation for specific terms and conditions.
