What is a 1000W Metal Halide LED Equivalent?
A 1000W metal halide LED equivalent is a high-performance LED replacement bulb engineered to provide the massive illumination required for high-ceiling industrial venues and large outdoor areas. These lamps allow for an efficient HID retrofit, replacing 1000-watt HID systems that typically consume 1,200 total system watts. By installing a 1000W MH LED replacement, facility managers gain superior visibility with 80+ CRI and a functional life of 50,000+ hours.
HID vs. LED: 1000W Efficiency Comparison
Switching to a 1000 watt metal halide equivalent delivers substantial utility savings, often achieving a 63% reduction in energy consumption. The following table illustrates the efficiency of high-output 1000w HID replacement bulb retrofits:
| Traditional Source | Traditional System Wattage | LED System Wattage | Energy Savings |
| 1000W Metal Halide | 1200W | 450W | 63% |
| 750W Metal Halide | 900W | 360W | 60% |
| 400W Metal Halide | 480W | 120W | 75% |
Advanced Technology for 1000W LED Retrofits
- Field-Selectable Power: Innovative models feature wattage selectable switches (450W/338W/225W) to customize light levels based on mounting height.
- Ultra-High Lumen Output: Delivers up to 69,750 lumens at a high efficacy of 144 LPW.
- Active Thermal Management: Integrated active cooling allows for a 30% reduction in lamp size, helping these high-power retrofits mirror the traditional ANSI footprint.
- Robust Construction: Features a polycarbonate lens and IP64 listing for protection in damp or dust-prone industrial environments.
- Industrial Safety: Built-in 4kV surge suppression safeguards the internal driver against voltage spikes.
