Out of stock
Product Description
36 Watt LED post top bulb - 5700K is designed as a 150 Watt Metal Halide LED replacement Lamp with SMD LEDs and offers a 50-80% reduced energy usage. Save money on your utility bill. It is designed to replace 150 Watt Metal Halide inside your existing fixtures. It fits many different fixtures replacing traditional lamps.
Great Lumen output along with energy saving. Widely used in communities, housing developments, municipalities, and schools.
Features include E26 Base, 4680 lumens, at 130 lumens/watt. These bulbs are a direct replacement for CFL and Metal Halide bulbs. Fits your existing fixtures. They are shatterproof and vibration resistant.
Product Overview
This 36 watt LED post top retrofit lamp delivers 4680 lumens at 5700K color temperature and fits standard E26 medium base sockets. The lamp operates at 130 lumens per watt and serves as a direct replacement for 150 watt metal halide lamps in existing post top fixtures.
The SMD LED construction provides shatterproof and vibration-resistant performance. This retrofit approach allows continued use of existing post top housings while converting from metal halide or CFL to LED operation.
Where This Product Fits Best
This lamp fits post top fixtures with E26 base sockets where 150 watt metal halide or equivalent CFL lamps are currently installed. Common applications include community lighting, housing developments, municipal installations, and school campuses.
The 5700K color temperature produces a cool white output suited to outdoor pathway and area lighting where visibility and color clarity are priorities. At 4680 lumens, the lamp provides output appropriate for pedestrian-scale post top fixtures rather than high-output roadway or parking applications.
Performance and Functional Considerations
The lamp produces 4680 lumens from 36 watts of input power, yielding 130 lumens per watt efficacy. This represents a significant reduction in power draw compared to the 150 watt metal halide lamps this product replaces.
The 5700K color temperature falls in the daylight range, which differs noticeably from the warmer appearance of standard metal halide. Facilities transitioning from metal halide should expect a color shift toward cooler, bluer light output.
Installation and Long-Term Use
The E26 medium base threads directly into existing sockets without adapter hardware. Physical fit within the post top enclosure depends on the lamp dimensions relative to the specific fixture housing. Verify internal clearance before installation.
Shatterproof and vibration-resistant construction supports use in outdoor environments subject to wind, weather cycling, and mechanical vibration from nearby traffic or equipment. The solid-state design eliminates warm-up time associated with metal halide operation.
How This Fixture Is Commonly Used
Facility operators typically install this lamp as a one-for-one swap in existing post top fixtures along walkways, parking areas, campus paths, and residential streets. The E26 base compatibility means installation involves removing the existing metal halide or CFL lamp and threading in the LED replacement.
Once installed, the lamp provides instant-on operation without the restrike delay common to metal halide. This characteristic matters in applications where power interruptions occur or where fixtures cycle on and off based on ambient light or time schedules. The vibration-resistant construction holds up in locations near roadways or where maintenance equipment operates nearby.
Safety, Certifications, and Warranty
This lamp features shatterproof construction, reducing risk associated with lens or envelope breakage during handling or in service. The vibration-resistant design supports reliable operation in outdoor installations exposed to mechanical stress.
